Vitamin E supplement occurs naturally in pistachios, may help reduce the risk of lung cancer.
The results presented at the conference “Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research” (research frontiers in cancer prevention) of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggest that a handful of pistachios a day in our diet can reduce the risk of developing a lung cancer.
Pistachios also offer other benefits, including the supply of antioxidants that can help reduce cholesterol, which can keep the heart healthy.
The gamma-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E found in nuts, has been studied for its effects on prostate cancer prevention.
Researchers studied 36 participants, giving half the patients 57g of pistachios a day, while the other half were confined to follow their normal diets. The scientists noted that the energy levels of group participants who had taken the nuts were adjusted with gamma-tocopherol, leading to a successful outcome of cholesterol.
The nutrient can help prevent disease, but researchers have been quick to point out that not help you lose weight. “Pistachios are one of these nuts ‘good’ and can be incorporated 57g per day in food strategies designed to reduce the risk of lung cancer without significant changes in body mass index,” said Ladia Hernandez, research dietician.
Asbestos is classified into 2 groups based on its physical properties: the serpentines, which tend to be wavy and long, and the amphiboles, which are straight and rodlike. The most important member of the serpentines is chrysotile, which makes up more than 90% of the asbestos used in the United States. The amphibole group includes crocidolite, amosite, and tremolite, which is often found as a contaminant of chrysotile ore.
