In addition to stevioside, stevioside includes non-glycoside diterpenes, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids and vitamins. A recent study confirmed that the anti-oxidant performance and anti-proliferative effect of the stevioside extract on tumor cells is stronger than the diterpene glycoside glycoside. And also found that the stevia alcohol extract can significantly reduce the cholesterol, protein and albumin content of experimental rats, which may be due to the result of polyphenols reducing plasma cholesterol content. It can be seen that in the future, stevia will not only be a sweetener, but also be applied in more fields as a functional product.
The reason why natural food additives are popular in recent years is not only because they are green and natural, but also because most of them have health care effects and can play a positive role in human health. Among the common natural food additives, there are a large number of healthy substances that can fight cancer, which can not only meet the production needs of the food industry, but also become a little guard to guard people's health.
These Natural Food Additives Have Anti-cancer Effects
Anti-cancer Sweetener: Luo Han Guo Extract
As a new type of sweetener, Luo Han Guo extract has been well received and concerned by the market, and has gradually become a natural sweetener product with the same name as stevioside.
Modern medical research has found that Luo Han Guo is rich in Luo Han Guo glycosides, which is 300 times sweeter than sucrose. It has a hypoglycemic effect and can be used to assist in the treatment of diabetes. Benefits skin and beauty; it has a certain effect on blood fat and weight loss, and can assist in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. It has been widely used in nutrition and health products, infant foods, puffed foods, seasonings, middle-aged and elderly foods, solid beverages, cakes, cold foods, convenience foods, instant foods.
Anti-cancer Antiseptic: Tea Polyphenols
Tea polyphenols can strongly eliminate harmful free radicals, block the process of lipid peroxidation, increase the activity of enzymes in the body, and thus play the role of anti-mutation and anti-cancer. According to relevant data, tea polyphenols in tea are beneficial to the prevention and adjuvant treatment of various cancers such as gastric cancer and intestinal cancer.
The content of green tea polyphenols in green tea is five times that of ordinary tea, and its molecular structure is similar to that of the anticancer drug methotrexate tablets. DHFR is very important for healthy cells and cancer cells. Green tea polyphenols are very binding to DHFR, but weaker than methotrexate tablets, so they have fewer side effects on healthy cells than anticancer drugs.
Anti-cancer Spices: Cinnamon Extract
Cinnamon, formerly known as fungi and mulberry, is the dried bark of cinnamon and is one of the most important and popular spices in the world. The cinnamon extract cinnamaldehyde has strong bactericidal, antiseptic and antitumor effects. Foreign researchers have conducted studies on the anti-fungal effects of cinnamaldehyde on 22 conditionally pathogenic fungi. The results show that cinnamaldehyde has antibacterial effect on all tested bacteria.
In recent years, the anti-tumor effect of water-soluble polymer cinnamon polyphenols has attracted increasing attention. The study found that cinnamon polyphenols can inhibit the proliferation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. The possible mechanism is to disrupt the phosphorylation of G2/M phase in the cell cycle by regulating p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and cyclin B1 signaling proteins Dephosphorylation prevents the G2/M phase of the cell cycle.
Anti-cancer Colorant: Turmeric Extract
Curcumin is a chemical substance extracted from the rhizomes of herbaceous plants turmeric and zedoary. Curcumin has an extremely wide range of pharmacological effects, such as anticoagulation, hypolipidemia, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-tumor, Alzheimer's disease, Parkin's disease and other properties.
Due to its characteristics of small toxicity and high safety performance, its anti-cancer effect has been increasingly concerned by people, and it has become a research hotspot in the world medical field. Curcumin has been found to treat various malignant tumors such as liver cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer and cervical cancer , Ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, oral cancer, prostate cancer and other cancers all have the effect of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. Experiments have shown that the curative effect of curcumin combined with sunitinib is significantly stronger than that of sunitinib alone or Curcumin. Curcumin has been listed as the third-generation cancer chemopreventive drug in the National Cancer Institute of the United States, and it has also been widely used in cancer hospitals in Japan.
