Wasabi contains some beneficial compounds. Such as isothiocyanates (ITCs), which are cancer-preventive compounds commonly found in cruciferous plants.
One study found that ITCs extracted from the wasabi root inhibited the formation of acrylamide by 90 percent. A chemical reaction between proteins and sugars caused by heat. Acrylamide is a chemical that can be formed in some foods, especially French fries, French fries, and coffee. During high-temperature cooking processes such as frying and grilling. UFABET
Studies have shown that dietary acrylamide consumption is associated with certain cancers. Including kidney, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. ITCs and compounds found in wasabi have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in humans, including colon, oral, pancreatic, and breast cancers.
In addition, some observational studies have found that higher consumption of cruciferous vegetables. Such as wasabi, may reduce the risk of several types of cancer. Including lung, breast, prostate, and bladder cancers.
Reduce inflammation.
Wasabi is a plant with potent anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is the immune system’s response to infection, injury, and toxins. When inflammation occurs and becomes chronic, it can lead to other diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Studies involving
animal cells indicate that ITCs in wasabi can inhibit pro-inflammatory cells and enzymes, including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and cytokines. However, studies on wasabi’s ability to reduce inflammation are limited and it is unclear whether it has anti-inflammatory properties in humans. Further studies are needed.
