Ginger kills cancer cells
6-shogaol killed more cancer cells and tumors.6-shogaol is in ginger.
The researchers found that 6-shogaol targets breast cancer stem cells along several different pathways, including reducing the expression of surface markers, altering the cell cycle to increase the rate of cell death. 6-shogaol, a component found in ginger, is superior in targeting the root cause of breast cancer.
In breast cancer, the study found that 6-shogaol drastically affects the cell cycle that increased cancer cell death. It also inhibits the growth of breast cancer spheroids or lumps.
Researchers found that 6-shogaol was 10,000 times more effective than Taxol at killing cancer stem cells, stopping new tumors from forming, and keeping healthy cells alive. Recent research has shown that ginger has many other health promoting qualities .Ginger may be up to 10,000 times more effective at fighting cancer than chemotherapy.
