Recent research shows, an apple or apple juice have a positive impact on the large intestine. Content of pectin and polyphenols found in apples much, are known to increase biological mechanism to produce compounds antikarsinogenik (anti-cancer) in the fermentation process.

“Apple is a source of fiber and antioxidants are good. Apples are also rich in pectin are effective as an anticancer substance in the large intestine,” said the researchers.

In a laboratory study conducted by German researchers, Dr. Dieter Schrenk, known components in apples can increase butyrate production, to prevent the formation of HDAC (Histone deacetlyases). HDAC declining production will push the growth of pre-cancerous cells and tumor cells.

Many research results have shown that chlorophyll antimutagenik properties (preventing the spread of cancer-causing genes). This occurs because the nature of chlorophyll binding reaction can inhibit carcinogens with DNA compounds, and compounds to counteract the radical reaction. Chlorophyll can also protect the immune system through the ability to reduce reactivity of radical compounds.

One study showed that klorofilin, the substance chlorophyll derivatives, capable of binding Aflatoxin B1 can inhibit the occurrence of liver cancer.
