Eat A Lot Of Celery and Parsley, It May Help You Prevent Breast Cancer

A recent study at the University of Missouri showed that apigenin, a natural substance found in celery and parsley, may be a non-toxic treatment for aggressive breast cancer. The apigenin slowed the progression of breast cancer cells in three ways: 1) It caused cell death 2) it inhibited cancer cell proliferation 3) it reduced expression of a gene associated with cancer growth. Also blood vessels responsible for feeding cancer cells were smaller in diameter in apigenin-treated mice compared to untreated mice. Smaller vessels means restricted nutrient flow to the tumor which may have helped in starving the tumor and limiting its ability to spread.
