Eat garlic sterilization, but if the kinds of garlic in the sense that it is rich in selenium elements, far more than on the role of such a sterilization, it even has inhibited the cancer.

Recently, the Beijing Institute for Cancer Prevention on the development of a suppression of cancer, “Se” garlic, then the garlic in the end what is special about it » The reporters interviewed by the expert Professor Deng Dajun.

Se Se garlic through the lessons of fertilizer elements

According to Tang army, the so-called Se garlic is used for ordinary garlic raw materials, plant growth in its giving to it during the fertilizer rich in selenium, garlic through this constant absorption, slowly on with a certain amount of selenium elements. Se elements in a composition containing selenium - methionine, it can activate tumor suppressor gene p53. This gene through the abnormal cells to induce a “suicide” to prevent the formation of tumors, or to prevent the proliferation of tumor.

The Institute of gastric cancer in animal-related experiments found that selenium can induce cancer cell apoptosis, Se garlic to the prevention of chronic gastritis into the further development of gastric cancer. At present the Institute is planning to conduct human clinical trials to further confirm its effectiveness.

Selenium poisoning will be excessive

With the majority of trace elements like selenium, excessive use and also have a certain degree of toxicity, but based on scientific methods to food, will be played anti-cancer and improve the body’s immune function and reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, such as role.

In fact, the so-called “Se” is relative, however, does not mean that the content of selenium can be infinite. Suitable for human useful selenium, the recommended daily intake of selenium to 50-200 micrograms, which is the human body in normal circumstances the required dosage, is from the perspective of nutrition.

The body of selenium intake if the long-term lower levels, the risk of cancer will increase. And to achieve anti-cancer effect, would recommend to the normal level of about twice the maximum safety of selenium daily intake of 400 micrograms of selenium areas may be higher to 550 micrograms. The minimum daily requirement for selenium 22 mg.

Excessive intake of selenium will lead to selenium poisoning, the symptoms are: gastrointestinal obstacles, ascites, anemia, loss of hair, nail and skin deformation and liver damage.

Tang said that army, also control the content of selenium in the development of selenium-enriched garlic is in the problems encountered, if the dose can not control this, it is hard to bear fruit. Much more will be added that poisoning, but added less, they would have no effect. Most of the market exaggerated effectiveness of health care products Se

Now on the market have some Se health products will be “Se” Chuicheng “inhibit tumor King,” “Need for anti-cancer”, selenium advocated the concept of breaking the tumor and died, Se food Chuide the hype, this is very wrong , Will be misleading to consumers. In fact, neither can Se health products have advanced cancer treatment Kejiu not allow cancer patients to rehabilitation, it only has a preventive health effects only.

“Prevention” is not equivalent to “treatment”, because prior to this clinical study, there were not any evidence to show that some things can be rich in selenium when drugs to treat cancer. Some businesses that use the concept of consumer misunderstanding, Se Health Chuicheng God anticancer drugs.

We should know that the current “Se” products basically belong to health care products, the true role of the anti-cancer drugs and health products of these differences is the largest anti-cancer components of the enhanced anti-cancer substances, but also with the norms of raw materials, technology, Quality, treatment standards as a guarantee. Even in the existing health care products anti-cancer elements, content was also low, reaching less than the standard treatment. The anti-cancer drugs active ingredient in health food products in general than 30 times higher than the above. Therefore, consumers and patients in the choice of using selenium and selenium to support treatment should be cautious.
