Esophageal cancer affects a large percentage of South Africa’s black population. In a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, researchers looked into the ability of moringa (Moringa oleifera) to inhibit the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells.
The researchers concluded that moringa has an antiproliferative effect on esophageal cancer cells thanks to its ability to increase lipid peroxidation and DNA fragmentation, as well as induce apoptosis.
