Really Avocado Leukemia Drug Could Be?

Avocados are not only tasty, but also rich in compounds that are beneficial to health. In fact, recent research reveals that the avocado is known as a natural butter has compounds that can fight one of the most dangerous diseases in the world.
The disease is acute myeloid leukemia (Acute Myeloid Leukemia -AML), one type of cancer according to the American Cancer Society estimated to kill more than 10,000 people in the 2015's, half of that amount is newly diagnosed cases.
Professor Paul Spagnuolo of Canada said, that the lipids in avocado is called avocatin B is able to target the leukemia stem cells without harming other cells healthy. "It's a nice thing to study in our laboratory," he said.
"Not only avocatin B is able to eliminate AML, but targeted and selective effect that makes the poison in the body is reduced. Unfortunately, according to Spagnuolo, this treatment is still in the draft until a few years away.
Nowadays not many drugs on the market for AML, a cancer that can make blood stem cells become abnormal, which then develops in the bone marrow, pushing out healthy cells and cause infections that are often fatal.
Therefore, it is expected from this study, avocados can be a new and better drugs to fight AML.

food Frozen vegetables More Nutritious Than Fresh?


In contrast to the belief of many people that vegetables and fruits are healthier than frozen, it turns out the research shows otherwise.
In a campaign video from the American Chemical Society, the experts pointed out the truth of the myth that has been trusted by the people.
"Vegetables are chosen to be frozen harvested when they are at the peak of ripeness, this means also being the maximum levels of nutrients," he said.
Before the fruit or vegetables are frozen, they will be dipped in boiling water and quickly went straight frozen to maintain its quality.
The process, called blancing, has two purposes. First, remove dust and organisms, as well as stop the process of decay.
There are certain enzymes found in vegetables that help them grow and mature. But after reaching the maximum maturity, these enzymes help break down food, but reduce the levels of nutrients.
Blancing process was going to disable enzin, and for frozen vegetables will adversely up to a year. Therefore, frozen vegetables will be more nutritious than fresh vegetables sold in the market or supermarket and have been picked a few days earlier after they are cooked.
