This Banana Part Helps Combat Cancer | Dr. Mandell

Bananas offer numerous health benefits, supporting the heart, blood pressure, blood vessels, and digestion by alleviating heartburn, stomach inflammation, and constipation. As bananas ripen, their composition changes, enhancing their medicinal properties.

According to Japanese scientific research, fully ripe bananas with dark spots on yellow skin produce TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor), a substance that combats abnormal cells. The more dark patches a banana has, the greater its immune-boosting and anti-cancer properties. In fact, ripe bananas with dark spots are up to 8 times more effective at enhancing white blood cell activity than their green counterparts.
