[Immune power up information] Body Fuji who lives in the present age ④

[Immune power up information]
Recently, the new coronavirus has taken the world by storm.
In this corner, you can find information on how to build a body that can withstand corona,
We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing.
The 19th installment will introduce the special feature "Fuji Fuji who lives in the present age" from "Musubi Magazine December 4 issue". (all XNUMX times).

[Stomach cancer]
Smokers are less likely to die
 Excess salt intake increases the risk of stomach cancer.
 This is because if the high concentration of salt continues to destroy the mucous membrane of the stomach, the gastric juice will not flow out, the acidity will decrease, and the bacteria that have grown will react with food and saliva, producing carcinogenic substances called nitrosamines. is.
 So you might think that drinking three cups of miso soup a day increases the risk of stomach cancer.
 However, people who drank miso soup every day had a lower mortality rate from stomach cancer than those who seldom drank miso soup.Similar results have been obtained for smokers.

[Liver cancer, early prostate cancer, colorectal cancer]
Soybeans also have a preventive effect against colorectal cancer
 In an experiment using mice, the number of liver tumors in the miso group was about half that of the group that ate a normal diet while being administered carcinogens.
 The inhibitory effect on liver tumors is not limited to miso, but can be seen in all soy foods.
 A study by the National Cancer Center Research Institute found that people who drank two or more bowls of miso soup a day had a higher risk of developing early-stage localized prostate cancer than those who drank less than one.35% was found to be low.
 In colorectal cancer, it has been confirmed in animal experiments that it has the effect of suppressing both precancerous lesions (abnormalities in tissues with a high probability of becoming cancerous) and cancer growth.
 In addition to miso, bean sprouts, soy milk, and soybeans seem to have a preventive effect on colorectal cancer.


Matured ones are effective
 According to Mr. Watanabe, the many effects of miso, which has the power to convey the proverb, "Miso soup kills doctors," are more effective when aged. It seems to perform well.
 For example, the radiation protection effect was the highest with two-year aged miso.
 However, miso aged for about six months was the most effective in suppressing other strokes and cancers.
 As mentioned above, miso, which contains many nutrients, has various effects, and some of them have beneficial effects that have not been clearly confirmed scientifically. It's not a food that can cause great harm, so there's no harm in eating it."

In 1973, he became a professor at the Hiroshima University Research Institute for Radiation Biology and Medicine after working as an assistant and associate professor in 1996.During that time, he worked mainly in radiation biology at the University of Wisconsin in the United States and at the Paterson Institute in the United Kingdom.
Specializing in experimental pathology and radiation biology, he has been interested in stem cells and has been researching for many years how cancer develops, progresses, and how it can be prevented.Meanwhile, in 1980, he began full-scale research on the efficacy of miso based on animal experiments.He has published many papers and lectures on both themes.
