MIT researchers have outlined the importance of nutrient availability in cancer cell development, as a study suggests a calorie reduced diet restricts fatty acid availability that is linked to tumour growth.
Tumour cells poison themselves when consuming an Omega-3 fatty acid due to an inability to store it correctly, a study claims, which proposes this mechanism to explain the fatty acid’s cancer-fighting abilities.
Vitamin D and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) may impact on female reproductive health, researchers say as the combination could prove effective in managing benign tumours found in the uterus.
