Papaya Could Be a Cancer Fighter

If you love Papaya, you may be getting more than just a flavorful exotic fruit. Researchers are reporting that an extract from dried papaya slows the growth of cancer cells in the laboratory. It’s not clear if it will have the same effect on cancer in people, however.
University of Florida researcher Dr. Nam Dang and Japanese colleagues report that the papaya extract appears to affect the regulation of the body’s immune system and doesn’t cause side effects by harming normal cells.
“Based on what I have seen and heard in a clinical setting, nobody who takes this extract experiences demonstrable toxicity; it seems like you could take it for a long time — as long as it is effective,” he said.
Great news. Further study might be needed, but it sounds promising.

Basically your read on Papaya may only be effective to certain blood types. For blood type A this fruit is recommended not to eat at all to prevent cancer. “Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo” Cancer – Fight it with the Blood Type diet.
