Papaya was the only studied food found to halt breast cancer
Scientists studied 14 plant foods commonly consumed in Mexico to determine their ability to halt breast cancer cell growth.
These included avocado, black sapote, fuava, mango, prickly pear cactus (nopal), pineapple, grapes, tomato, and papaya.
They also evaluated beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, and gallic acid contents and antioxidant capacity.
They found that only papaya had a significant effect on stopping breast cancer cell growth.
