Pomegranates May Help Fight Against Breast Cancer!

New research conducted on breast cancer stated that, pomegranates contain naturally occurring chemical, known as a phytochemical, also called as Ellagic acid that prevents cancer cells from developing. Three-quarters of breast cancer are considered to be hormone reliant - fuelled by the hormone estrogen.

The new research said that pomegranates may reduce the probability of developing hormone-dependant breast cancer. Phytochemicals present in the fruit fight against estrogen production that prevents the production of breast cancer cells and the development of estrogen-responsive tumors.

So, it is helpful for people who consume pomegranates to protect against development of cancer in their breasts and also in other tissues and organs. Along with pomegranates, there are various other fruits like grapes help fight against breast cancer.
