Women who take hormone replacement therapy like Prempro, containing both estrogen and progestin, can ease their hot flashes from menopause. But this treatment also increases the risk of breast cancer later in life.
Luteolin Lowers Risk of Breast Cancer:
Scientists have now found that a natural compound found in many plants can help lower this likelihood. Luteolin is found in broccoli, celery, parsley and thyme.
Test tube research on breast cancer cells found that exposing them to this natural compound reduces their tendency to behave like stem cells. Since stem-cell like behavior is a characteristic of cancer cells, this is promising.
More Studies on Luteolin Are Needed:
Clinical trials to see whether administering luteolin orally or through injections are ahead. In the meantime, there’s certainly no harm in adding extra parsley or celery to the diet.
