Study Links Avocados To Oral Cancer Prevention

Can you eat your way to better oral health?


Researchers at Ohio State University have found that nutrients taken from avocados can attack some oral cancer cells and prevent other pre-cancerous cells from developing into actual cancers of the mouth.


According to the researchers, previous research has found an association between the consumption of fruits and vegetables and reduced risk for various types of cancers. This effect is attributed to the high levels of phytonutrients and phytochemicals found in dark colored fruits and vegetables.


Focusing on the Hass avocado -the most readily available variety of avocado- the OSU researchers found that phytochemicals extracted from the bumpy-skinned fruit can target multiple signaling pathways and increase the amount of reactive oxygen within pre-cancerous oral cells, leading to cell death. However, the same chemicals have no negative effect on healthy, normal cells.

Allergy Symptoms in Babies

Allergy symptoms in babies can either appear immediately or several days after the initial exposure to the specific allergen or food, to which they develop allergy. Though these symptoms are usually mild, occasionally, they can lead to some potentially serious conditions. Read on to know more about the symptoms of allergies in babies.


Allergy can be termed as a disorder associated with the immune system, where it becomes hypersensitive to certain substances, that are considered harmless, as the immune system in a non-allergic individual does not react to them. Generally, our body produces immune response, when we encounter some harmful and infectious agents like bacteria, virus or fungi. In such a situation the immune system recognizes these foreign substances, and produces antibodies and chemicals like histamines to destroy them. But in certain individuals, who are allergic, immune system can produce antibodies and chemicals against some foreign, but non-infectious substances, which are called allergens. The result is an exaggerated immune response, which can cause allergic reaction in both adults and children.
