Forty percent of our population will likely have to deal with cancer at some point. That’s a lot of people. Since tumors often grow more than 20 years without detection before they are diagnosed, eating and drinking foods that protect against this serious problem is an excellent idea.
Enter the lowly beet. Beets are one of nature’s astounding wonders. Recent studies have shown that beets increase stamina during exercise by 16 percent.* Add that to all the other known health benefits of beet juice—including lowering blood pressure, increasing dietary nitrates, aiding in digestive problems, building the immune system and strengthening bones—and you have one powerhouse food.
But did you know that beet juice has also been shown to break up cancers and tumors? In the 1950s, Dr. Ferenczi of Hungary used beets exclusively to break up tumors in the body.** Tumors were often eliminated, but he found that they returned if the patient stopped eating beets and drinking beet juice. These findings confirmed that eating beets and drinking beet juice was not just a short-term fix, but rather a lifestyle solution.
Cancer-fighting Betacyanin
Betacyanin is the ingredient that has been identified as the main tumor-fighting agent in beets. Betacyanin gives beets its bright reddish purple color, and it also helps to detoxify the body, in general.
Beets' potential effectiveness against colon cancer, in particular, has been demonstrated in
several studies. In one study, animals with chemically induced colon cancer and high cholesterol were divided into two groups. “One group received a diet high in beet fiber while the other group served as a control. The beet fiber-fed animals rose to the challenge by increasing their activity of two antioxidant enzymes in the liver, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase. The liver is the body's primary detoxification organ where toxic substances are broken down and eliminated, a process that generates a lot of free radicals. Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase are the bodyguards for liver cells, protecting them from free radical attack, so they can continue to protect us.”***
“In other animal studies, scientists have noted that animals fed beet fiber had an increase in their number of colonic CD8 cells, special immune cells responsible for detecting and eliminating abnormal cells. With the increased surveillance provided by these additional CD8 cells, the animals in one of the studies given beet fiber had fewer pre-cancerous changes. In stomach cancer patients, when scientists compared the effects of fruit and vegetable juices on the formation of nitrosamines, ...beet juice was found to be a potent inhibitor of the cell mutations caused by these (cancer-causing) compounds.”***
