A new study out of Asia has found that high consumption—about 45 grams daily— of eggplant (aubergine) was associated with an amazing 58% reduction in risk for colorectal cancer. Eggplant is not usually thought of as a superfood but it’s actually loaded with cancer-fighting such as the anthocyanins nasunin and delphinidin (similar to what’s in blueberries). But the real anticancer secret sauce of this amazing vegetable may be the unique and powerful compound called solamargine. It’s been found highly toxic to human cancer cells in a test tube, with kill rates of 82% for lung cancer cells, 87% for prostate cells and 90% for breast cancer cells. The dosage of 45 grams daily is about half a cup chopped and has just 12 calories!
