According to scientists at the Industrial Toxicology Research Centre (ITRC), mango pulp may provide an effective non-invasive method of treating prostrate cancer.

After administering mango pulp to mice affected with cancer, scientists, investigating the healing properties of the fruit, noticed that the tumor in the mice was radically suppressed.

The scientists believe that a chemical compound found in mango called lupeol is the reason for the suppression of tumor cells in the mice.

Scientist Yogeshwar Shukla points out that while blocking cancer cells from growing, lupeol also has anti-carcinogenic properties that fight well against other health disorders. He said that certain compounds such as organic acids, specific vitamins, carbohydrates, and polyphenols, which are present in lupeol, give it the strength to fight off numerous health disorders.

ITRC scientists state that it is very difficult to detect prostrate cancer because it has the most subtle malignant cells. They said that India has seen an enormous increase of prostrate cancer patients lately, but neither radiation therapy, chemotherapy nor surgery has proven successful in treating the disease. As a result, the scientists felt the need for research in this area which started them on their study on lupeol and its relationship with prostrate cancer.

Scientists have found that lupeol has demonstrated various medicinal properties. Experiments have revealed that lupeol shows signs of strong anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-diabetic, and anti-malarial properties.

Because of the success rate with mango pulp extract ( http://buydominica.com/vitalsource ), scientists believe that this fruit will provide a way in which cancer can be treated naturally within the coming years. Although there are several traditional treatments for cancer, many of them have harsh side effects, according to scientists. With their studies on mango pulp extract, Shukla said it will definitely open a better and safer way for treating cancer. Currently, scientists have observed medicinal properties of lupeol in certain types of mangoes only. However, scientists will soon begin to study lupeol medicinal properties in nearly all kinds of mangoes that are found in Uttar Pradesh.

Shukla assures us that just as mangoes from his state have earned a worldwide reputation, he and his team will be studying nearly all varieties of mangoes in future experiments that concerns mango pulp extract.
