The study says that there is evidence of a variety of hot spicy food or useful to inhibit cancer growth. The study examined the effectiveness of ginger against cancer cells. Nonetheless, this study still represents the first step.
It says, ginger may kill cancer cells by two roads, namely the destruction process called apoptosis and autophagy, the process of cell Ingestion. This is described in the experts meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
According to Drs. Rebecca, many cancer patients who develop resistance to standard chemotherapy, in which the action of chemotherapy is a process of apoptosis. While ginger has the ability to eat the cell (autophagy) can help those who develop resistance to chemotherapy.
