Prevent Growth of Cancer With Sweet Potatoes And Carrots

The content of carrots and sweet potatoes that are efficacious as anticancer retionat acid, which is a derivative of vitamin A which is also beneficial for eye health. In cancer cells, these compounds can inhibit the growth and spread in breast tissue.

This compound works by binding to specific receptors that play a role in the division of cancer cells themselves. When these receptors bind to retinoic acid, the growth of cancer cells is inhibited so as not to be getting bigger.


Represents the first culture of human normal cells, whereas the second culture represent cells exposed to carcinogens or cancer-triggering. The third culture contains cells that are invasive or grow abnormally and the next is the actual tumor cells with characteristics similar to breast cancer.

The experimental results showed that retinoic acid which are found mainly in carrots and sweet potatoes can inhibit cancer cells. However, its effectiveness is more visible in early stage breast cancer, when the cells have not too invasive or spread.
