How can eating mushrooms help prevent cancer?

White, cremini, portobello, oyster, maitake, and reishi mushrooms have all been shown to have anti-cancer effects—by preventing DNA damage, slowing cancer cell or tumor growth, causing programmed cancer cell death, or preventing tumors from acquiring a blood supply. These effects have been shown in breast, prostate, and colon cancers and/or cancer cells. Common mushrooms contain antigen-binding lectins (ABL) which bind only to abnormal cells by recognizing a molecule on the surface of many cancer cells and then activating the body's defenses calling them into action against that cell.

Interestingly, after these lectins are attracted to and bind to an abnormal cell, they then become internalized into the cell and interfere with the cell's ability to replicate itself, thus preventing the spread of cancer, without having any toxicity or negative effects on normal cells.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
