A Recent study has demonstrated how white yam extracts could be used effectively to treat breast cancer tumours. Their findings suggest that a low-toxicity treatment of fasting-mimicking diet plus vitamin C has the potential to replace more toxic treatments. “When used alone, fasting-mimicking diet or vitamin C alone reduced cancer cell growth and caused a minor increase in cancer cell death. A second group of 76 people were given a version of the supplement without the plant extracts, while a third group of 69 participants received a placebo. No significant difference in any symptom was reported by those taking the supplement minus the plant extracts, suggesting that plant extracts were largely responsible for the observed changes, the researchers said.
