1. Soybean is effective weapon against colon cancer

These scientists have claimed that a new class of materials that have been identified in soybeans is effective in the prevention of cancer or its treatment. Doctor Julie Saba, researcher and specialist at Children's Hospital of Oakland Research Institute in California said: These material are natural lipid molecules called "olefin Gadin" that can be effective agent in this plant to help for prevent against colon cancer. Description of the findings has been published in the journal "Cancer Research". This research was conducted on fruit flies, and the researchers found that increasing the levels of these lipids encourage the death of mutant fruit in flies' cell. Doctor Saba says the cell death is a phenomenon that body uses of it to ward off the unhealthy cells such as cancer cells. She said: this finding is important because it helps researchers to understand the structure and metabolism of the lipids to produce the new medicines to treat colon cancer.
