Soybean proteins can beat cancers

A neutraceutical study conducted by University of Arkansas reported that soybean proteins can beat cancers including lung, liver and colon cancers.             
The study has been published in Food Research International.
Depends on the variety, the nutritional components of the soybean increase up to 40% and soybean meal is rich in oleic acid and monosaturated omega-9 fatty acids.
The researchers studied the effects of a variety of soybeans that are rich in oleic acid on various human cancer cell lines. The nutritional components of soybeans, particularly the proteins inhibited the growth of colon cancer cells by 73%. The proteins also killed the liver cancer and lung cancer cells by 70% and 68%, respectively.
The soybean with highest levels of oleic acid is proved to be effective against three types of common, dreadful cancers.
Human cancer cell lines are cultured in laboratory conditions, and the cells mimic the nature of human cells. The cultured cell lines are useful for drug testing as the drug’s activity on the cultured cells and human system are alike.
