I have posted about fruits in the past that are supposedly among the ‘super foods’ that ward off many diseases including breast cancer, but now another has perked up in the healthy food world – mangos. According to new research, the mango is an effective all natural way to fight both colon and breast cancer.

The results were somewhat unexpected and the mango was not proven effective against other types of cancer all that much, but when it came to colon and breast cancer it was extremely effective. Researchers say that even though the mango’s levels of antioxidants are much less then fruits known to be ‘super’ such as the acai, grape, or even the pomegranate, the polyphenolics in the mango have proven to kill the cancer causing cells in the case of colon and breast cancer; yet it leaves healthy or normal cells alone.

This is welcomed news to all those who love the taste of mangos and is further proof that a healthier diet will ultimately help keep breast cancer at bay. ThinkPinker.com urges all those who do not already enjoy a healthy helping of fruit and other all natural cancer fighting goodies, to start right away. Until there is a breast cancer cure we have to do all that we can to prevent the onset and spread of this dreaded disease.
