Shiitake Mushroom Benefits
4. Anti-Cancer
Despite our advances in technology, many types of cancer are still potentially fatal to us. Many types can be treated, if not cured, but the best method of all is to avoid getting cancer in the first place. Of course, there is no sure way to do this, but you can at least help to shift the odds in your favor to a degree.
Studies have shown that the lentinan compound found in shiitake mushrooms can be very effective in the fight against cancer. It is thought to be able to help prevent cancer from spreading from one part of the body to another and also slow the rate at which cancer cells grow.
