The palmitic acid in palm oil greatly increases the chances of cancer cells generating metastases by altering their genes.Which can cause cancer cells to spread from one organ to another.
Researchers at IRB, a research institute for biomedicine in the Spanish city of Barcelona, have shown in their experiments that a fat molecule in palm oil, called palmitic acid, can alter the genome of cancer or cancer cells.Plays an extraordinary role in spreading from one organ to another.
Cancer patients deaths metastasis is still leading cause.Because patients with metastasis can only be treated, but they cannot be cured or cured of this insidious disease.
According to medical estimates, metastasis is responsible for 90% of cancer deaths.Around 9 million patients worldwide die each year from metastasis.
The results of a recent study on rats published in the popular journal Nature were published. According to him.The negative effects of palmitic acid in palm oil on rats were such that metastases caused by this acid caused cancer in the mouth and skin cancer in rats which is called 'melanoma skin cancer'.Mice were not equally affected by palm oil.As well as other fatty acids, such as olive oil or olive oil and liquid acid from linoleic acid or fats.Which is linseed oil.
Metastases maintain the maximum potential for the cancer genome to be transmitted from one organ to another.
Transforming cells with a 'memory marker'
The authors of the review report, based on this new study, have also identified several 'memory markers' that remain in cancer tumor cells.Their job is to modify the cells.So that they maintain the maximum ability to transfer metastasis or the cancer genome from one organ to another for several months after the cells or cells are exposed to palmitic acid.
Researchers in Barcelona discovered in 2016 that the protein CD36 binds to the nutrients that tumor cells need to survive far beyond the actual tumor and that the effects of this protein are already felt in the human body.Cervical, bladder and lung cancers have been reported.
Preparation of therapy from this study
According to a study conducted in Barcelona, Dr. Helen Rippon, Executive Director of Cancer Research Around the World, says, "We understand the link between diet and cancer. This is a great development.Perhaps more important is how we use the new knowledge and information to treat cancer. "
Skin cancer can also be fatal
In terms of possible treatments, Professor Salvador Azner Benita, a senior leader of a group of researchers at the Research Institute of Biomedicine IRB in Barcelona, cited the study report as a planned medical study starting in the next few years."I think it would be premature to determine what type of diet patients with metastatic cancer can use to slow down the metastatic process," he says.
However, based on our findings, one might think that the intake of nutrients containing very small amounts of palmitic acid may slow down the metabolic process in the body, but this needs further investigation.
For the first time in the world, 'designer' cells have beaten cancer
How harmful is palm oil?
Palm oil has long been suspected of playing a key role in the development of diabetes, vascular diseases and cancer cells.On the one hand, it is due to the high proportion of fatty acids in the diet, on the other hand.It is also due to the production of carcinogens during industrial processing.
When palm oil is heated rapidly, it forms 3-MCPD fatty acids and glycidol fatty acid esters.Thus, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (FBR) has classified carcinogenic fats.
Despite these facts, palm oil is still present in many,
- Chocolate spreads
- Prawns
- Chips
- Chocolate bars
- Muesli ingredients
- Biscuits
Palm oil is also used in different things like,
- Detergents
- Cosmetics
- Soaps
- Candles
