Health Benefit Of Cashews #8: Fight Cancer
Cashews contain proanthocyanidins which is a type of flavonoids that may be able to prevent the division of cancer cells. Other antioxidants such as cardols, anacardic acids, and cardanol may also be effective for patients who are undergoing treatment for cancer.
A study also observed that patients who consume two or more servings of nuts (except peanuts) a week have a 46 percent lower risk for their cancer to return compared to those who do not consume nuts. They also found that those who eat nuts have a 53 percent lower risk of death. However, it is important to note that the consumption of nuts should not be a substitute for cancer treatment.
