Soy and the sphingadienes in it fight colon cancer

US scientists say that soy could well prevent and/or treat colon cancer.

They have found new phytochemicals in soy that could well be cancer preventing and/or cancer treating. These agents were found to be sphindadienes which are lipids and according to the lead scientist from California Children Hospital, Oakland Research Institute, Dr. Julie Saba, these lipids in soy could well be the cancer preventing and cancer treating agents.

Their study was published in Cancer Research and the case study was done in fruitfly, and these sphingadienes induced cell death in mutant cells and since cancer cells are mutant cells, they can be used to get rid off the cancer.

Saba et al., study calls for further research on sphingadienes in soy, and it could well lead to development of newer drugs from soy and treatment modalities in the field of cancer.
