Does the spicier the white radish, the better its cancer-preventing effect?
The interferon inducer in white radish, its double-stranded ribonucleic acid, has a relatively high tolerance to enzymes in the mouth. It is not easily degraded during swallowing and has no side effects. In recent years, some medical researchers in China have found that when the interferon inducer substance contained in white radish was injected into mice, the malignant tumors in their bodies shrank by 50%-60%...

The interferon inducer in white radish, its double-stranded ribonucleic acid, has a relatively high tolerance to enzymes in the mouth. It is not easily degraded during swallowing and has no side effects. In recent years, some medical researchers in China have found that when the interferon inducer substance contained in white radish was injected into mice, the malignant tumors in their bodies shrank by 50%-60%.
As an excellent vegetable, white radish is rich in nutrients, abundant in B vitamins and various minerals, among which the vitamin C content is 10 times that of pears. White radish also has antiviral and anticancer effects:
1. The crude fiber contained in white radish can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is what is called "moving qi," reducing the time feces stays in the intestines and preventing colon cancer and rectal cancer.
2. The interferon inducer in white radish, its double-stranded ribonucleic acid, has a relatively high tolerance to enzymes in the mouth. It is not easily degraded during swallowing and has no side effects. In recent years, some medical researchers in China have found that when the interferon inducer substance contained in white radish was injected into mice, the malignant tumors in their bodies shrank by 50%-60%.
3. The mustard oil and glucosinolates contained in white radish can react with various enzymes to form anticancer components with a spicy taste. Therefore, the spicier the white radish, the more of this component it contains, and the better its cancer-preventing properties.
