Natural Products for Cancer Prevention/Management (5)

Eggplant

Eggplant is loaded with vitamins and minerals, but its additional health benefits may be surprising to most people.  Eggplant contains an interesting antioxidant, chlorogenic acid, which has a number of biological activities including blood-pressure lowering, antiviral, and antibacterial effects.  In addition, it also protects DNA from mutations and may have anti-cancer properties.

In addition, there is another antioxidant found in the peels of eggplant, nasunin.  Studies indicate that nasunin is anti-angiogenic, meaning that it could cuts off the new blood supply that cancer cells need in order to multiply
