MOSCOW, Aug 18 Scientists have named a berry that will help in the fight against growth cancer cells, according to the Daily Express. In a study published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer, experts found that chokeberries effectively reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. 50 milligrams of chokeberry extract can reduce the growth of intestinal tumor cells by 60% a day after ingestion. This effect is explained by the antioxidants contained in the berries, which can reduce the risk of developing certain cancers. Aronia extract also helps reduce oxidative stress, which is one of the causes of breast cancer. In addition, scientists have evidence that topical application of this berry extract can slow down the progression of skin cancer. This issue is being studied by specialists in more detail. Experts note that the beneficial effect of chokeberry does not mean that its use can always prevent the development of oncology. Some risk factors, such as aging or genetic predisposition, always have to be taken into account. Doctors advise anyone who notices unusual changes in the body (tumors, unexplained weight loss, night sweats) to get an examination as soon as possible in order to identify the disease as early as possible. >
