Proteins found in soybeans, could inhibit growth of colon, liver and lung cancers, a new study has revealed. Soybean is rich in protein, which usually makes up around 40% of the nutritional components of the seeds and dependent on the line, and can also contain high oleic acid (a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid).
The study found that soybean significantly inhibited cell growth by 73% for colon cancer, 70% for liver cancer and 68% for lung cancer cells using human cell lines. This shows that oleic acid –packed soybeans have a potential nutraceutical affect in fighting cancer, reports the study published in Food Research International.
