Ginger a day reduces the risk of cancer of the colon and rectumhttp://www.altibbi.com/global/img/website/news/2011/10/19/main-1040.jpg
A new study suggests that eating ginger a day can reduce the inflammation of the colon and eventually help to reduce the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum.


The researchers found that participants in the study who took the ginger supplements decreased inflammation of the colon have to 28% compared with those who took a placebo. Studies have shown that people who suffer from inflammation of the rectum, a high level are more likely to develop the situation and that situation can develop into cancer.


Researchers have noted that the study was small, the number of participants 30 people, and there is need for more research and studies to follow up the effect of ginger on the risk of cancer.



  
Said Patricia Thompson, a professor of cellular and molecular medicine at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, which did not participate in the study that "the results of the studies did not demonstrate a clear future."


Cancer of the colon and rectum, which can grow in the colon and rectum alike, and kill more people annually in the United States more than any other cancer except lung cancer kills more. It is estimated that the National Cancer Institute that have been diagnosed with 000 421 people in the U.S. suffer from colon cancer in 2010, and died 51 000 people infected with the disease.

Conducted further research to study ways to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. For example, you can take aspirin regularly will reduce the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum, but can also lead to bleeding in the stomach and intestines. Thompson said that some studies suggest that eating certain foods, such as cherries, black berries, reduces the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum, but none of them has not been tested yet on ginger people.

 
She said so far, the best way to prevent cancer of the colon and rectum is to do a medical examination required.

 
In the new study, researchers examined the levels of a substance called PGE2 may have changed, in addition to signs of inflammation in the colon when the people took daily doses of ginger. The researchers studied a random sample of 30 people took two grams of ginger root daily or placebo once an oasis in the day and for a period of 28 days.
PGE2 is a hormone produced by the body if the body's inflammation of the injured area.


And Suzanna Zick said researcher of the study, which is his research assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Michigan that the participants in the study were all healthy people, who can be a normal exposure to cancer of the colon and rectum.
And then the outfit and her team found after comparing biopsies taken from the rectum of the study participants took at the beginning and end of the study, low levels of PGE2 average of 28% in people who took the ginger, but almost unchanged in people who took the placebo. The researchers said that the side effects of treatment of mild and include mild headaches, and digestive problems and fatigue, such as gas, bloating and nausea.


We like you said there is need to focus more, to confirm the results of our study and answer a series of questions raised in the study.


The outfit, in particular, the search in the future need to know how that ginger reduces the levels of PGE2 in the rectum. If the ginger works to reduce inflammation in the same way to drugs, called inhibitors of COX - 2, it has also involved the negative side of drugs increases the risk of a person's heart and arteries.
Thompson said we also do not know how much a person needs to eat ginger to reduce the risk of cancer. In this study, selected researchers grams of a section of ginger, which is equivalent to about 20 grams of ginger root raw, because past experience showed that this dose is the highest dose of the person can properly be dealt with, because More of this, the ginger lead to digestive problems.
