The Haas Avocado May Help To Prevent Cancer

Nutrients taken from avocados are able to thwart
oral cancerous cells, transforming some and
preventing pre-cancerous cells or fermenting cells
from dietary and/or metabolic acids from developing
into actual cancerous cells, according to researchers
at Ohio State University.

Researchers found that extracts from Hass avocados kill
or stop the growth of pre-cancerous cells that lead to
oral cancer. Hass avocados are year-round fruits known
for their distinctive bumpy skin that turns from green
to purplish-black as they ripen.

While there are more than 500 varieties of avocados
grown worldwide, Hass avocados are the most readily
available at supermarkets nationwide. Similar research
has not been conducted on other varieties of avocados.

The findings are published online in the Journal
Seminars in Cancer Biology.

Studies have long associated the consumption of fruits
and vegetables with a reduced risk for various types
of human medically diagnosed cancer. The protective
effect is attributed to the high levels of phytonutrients
or phytochemicals — plant compounds thought to
have health-protecting qualities — that are often
found in dark colored fruits and vegetables.

“As far as we know, this is the first study of avocados
and oral cancer,” says D’Ambrosio. “We think these
phytochemicals either stop the growth of precancerous
cells in the body or they kill the precancerous cells
without affecting normal cells. Our study focuses on
oral cancer, but the findings might have implications
for other types of cancer. These are preliminary
findings, and more research is needed.”

D’Ambrosio, who collaborated with researchers in
Ohio State’s College of Pharmacy, found that
phytochemicals extracted from avocados target
multiple signaling pathways and increase the amount
of reactive oxygen within the cells, leading to
cell transformation in pre-cancerous cell lines.

But the phytochemicals did not harm normal cells!

“These studies suggest that individual and a combination
of phytochemicals from the avocado fruit may offer
an advantageous dietary strategy in cancer prevention,”
says Ding, who is a member of the division of
radiobiology, department of radiology.

Avocados are chock-full of beneficial antioxidants
and phytonutrients, including glutathione, folate,
vitamin E, fiber and unsaturated fats. They are
naturally sodium-free, contain no trans fats and
are low in saturated fat, making them a healthy
addition to any diet, D’Ambrosio says.

“The future is ripe for identifying fruits and
vegetables and individual phytonutrients with
cancer preventing activity,” writes D’Ambrosio
in the journal’s editorial. “As we identify the
molecular mechanisms and targets by which
individual phytonutrients prevent cancer, we may
be able to improve upon nature by formulating
phytonutrient cocktails for specific cancers
and individual susceptibility and risk.”

Other Ohio State researchers involved in the study
are Young-Won Chin in the College of Pharmacy and
A. Douglas Kinghorn in the Comprehensive Cancer
Center.

The California Avocado Commission provided the
Hass avocados for the research.
