Can This Vegetable Be the Cure for Lung Cancer? celerycancerThere is an old myth floating around that this is quite possibly the most useless vegetable that you could put into your mouth. On that note, let’s make a grand introduction – it’s time to learn about celery. First things first, scrap the urban health advice. Celery has a ton of nutritional benefits, being packed full of vitamins and water, bettering your health while hydrating you at the same time. But scientists have found an even more interesting property that most people do not know about. Could it be curing lung cancer? A recent study performed in vitro found that celery can kill up to 86% of lung cancer cells in patients. The research showed that celery induces something called apoptosis, which is the programmed death of cells. This takes care of any uncontrolled cell proliferation – something that is common in various forms of cancer. Celery also contains a high amount of apigenin, which has been shown to possess a number of anti-carcinogenic properties. It isn’t even limited to lung cancer – apigenin also helps fight against breast, prostate, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers all around. The study that was performed in vitro showed amazing results in killing off cancer cells, but are there any indications that it can have the same effect inside of the human body?
