Bromelain's activity and potential as an anti-cancer
agent: Current evidence and perspectives
A recent
study has found the enzyme bromelain to have potent anticancer properties,
proving to be highly antiinflammatory, antithrombotic and
antineoplastic.
Bromelain is found in pineapple, in especially
high concentrations in the stem.
Bromelain has potent
immune stimulating function and may help to reduce the growth of cancers.
Pineapple is also high in the antioxidant vitamin C, but don't
forget to eat the stem!
