Do You Know That Pineapple May Have Anti-breast-cancer Effects In Women

April 28,2020
Share:

Because pineapple is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other helpful compounds that can protect against inflammation and disease.

While pineapple and its compounds have been linked to several health benefits, you may wonder whether this sweet fruit offers any advantages for women.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women, accounting for approximately 25% of all cancer diagnoses in women.

Pineapple contains small amounts of bromelain, an enzyme that’s been suggested to have anticancer effects, particularly in regards to breast cancer.

While test-tube and animal studies show promising effects of bromelain in treating breast cancer, research in humans is needed to confirm these properties.

Furthermore, as these studies use concentrated amounts of bromelain, the amount found in pineapple is likely too small to have a significant benefit.

Early research has also suggested a link between breast cancer progression and pineapple vinegar, which is high in antioxidants and made by fermenting pineapple juice.

One 28-day study in mice found that daily treatment with pineapple vinegar significantly reduced the progression of breast cancer tumors. However, this effect has not yet been confirmed in humans.

Bromelain, an enzyme in pineapple, and pineapple vinegar have been linked to the slowed progression of breast cancer in animal and test-tube studies. However, research in humans is needed to confirm these effects.
