Maitake Mushrooms could halt the growth of cancer cells

A mushroom popular in Chinese cooking can help beat cancer, a study has found. Scientists have revealed that Maitake Mushroom can shrink tumours by much as 75 per cent.

Experts found that the giant edible mushroom, which can grow to eight inches across – can help combat bladder and prostate cancer. The latest study is published in the British Journal of Neurology. The amazing breakthrough came when it was found that if a tiny extract of the Maitake Mushroom was used in combination with anti-cancer proteins - a treatment used in hospitals - it reduced the growth of bladder cancer cells by three quarters. Scientists in the Department of Urology at the New York Medical College used a concentrated extract of Maitaike in both studies.

In February, scientists in California conducted a trial to determine whether eating a mushroom extract twice a day for a month helped breast cancer survivors remain free of disease. It seems that the fungi acts in a similar way to cancer drugs, which block the body’s production of the cancer-feeding hormone oestrogen. A recent study also revealed that mushrooms could be the key to huge weight loss.
