OAT – ANTI CANCER!!!
****TIME FOR YOU TO EAT OAT ...!!!
Oats, like other grains and
vegetables, contain hundreds of phytochemicals (plant chemicals). Many
phytochemicals are thought to reduce a person's risk of getting cancer.
Phytoestrogen compounds, called lignans, in oats have been linked to decreased
risk of hormone-related diseases such as breast cancer. Most of the research
has been focused on breast cancer, but similar effects are expected on other
hormone-related cancers such as prostate, endometrium and ovarian cancer.
International research has shown that women with a higher intake of dietary
fibre have lower circulating oestrogen levels, a factor associated with a lower
risk of breast cancer. The insoluble fibers in oats are also thought to reduce
carcinogens in the gastrointestinal tract.
