Scientists discover cancer-fighting compounds in yeast, salmon and other common foods

Yeast could have cancer-fighting compounds, according to new research published in scientific journal PLOS-One.

The scientists at Osaka Metropolitan University showed that common foods, including yeast (specifically torula yeast) and salmon could prevent tumour cells from replicating.

Using elements such as torula yeast RNA, the team of scientists showed that chemical compounds like guanosine could prevent the proliferation of certain cancer cells in laboratory rats.
