A few days ago, Xiao Jiu received a request from fans for help:

“Xiao Jiu, my father had liver cancer before, and now he is having a second treatment. Chemotherapy, the inspection report came out yesterday, white blood cells are normal, but the transaminase is 2 times higher than the standard.

Since my dad’s surgery last night, I have given him Ganoderma lucidum spore powder every day. I have been taking it for more than a month now. I suspect it has something to do with it, but it is not that Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can improve immunity, Is it anti-tumor? I want to ask if Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is really reliable? I hope you can answer it.”

What is Ganoderma lucidum spore powder? Some friends may not know much about it. In the folk, it is called “anti-cancer magic drug”.It can not only fight tumors but also improve the immunity of patients , but is it really reliable to use Ganoderma lucidum spore powder to fight cancer?

I. Food safety of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is worrying

Ganoderma lucidum It has been used in my country for more than 2,000 years. From the “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica” in the Eastern Han Dynasty to the “Compendium of Materia Medica” in the Ming Dynasty, it was once regarded as “fairy grass” because of its various effects.

Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is simply the seeds of Ganoderma lucidum. The naked eye can only see the fine powder, the color is brown or brown, and its medicinal components are 75 times higher than that of Ganoderma lucidum. However, the absorption and utilization rate is very low, generally 20%~30%. In theory, Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can be completely absorbed and utilized by the human body only after it is processed and broken.< /strong>.

In view of its unique efficacy, many people buy Ganoderma lucidum spore powder online to eat, in pursuit of improving immunity, Efficacy in tumors.

But according to the evaluation of the blogger @ Dad Evaluation, after purchasing 10 samples of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder with high sales for testing, it was found that its hygiene status is worrying!

Among them, the microorganisms exceeded the standard multiple times, and the total number of molds and yeasts alone exceeded the standard in 7 samples.This means that These samples were produced with poor hygiene quality, and the food was prone to spoilage.

Half of the 10 samples contained excessive coliform bacteria, which may lead to acute poisoning, vomiting, and diarrhea after eating.

What’s more outrageous is that there are still pollutants in these products.The content of heavy metals such as chromium and nickel exceeds the standard, and excessive intake of heavy metals may cause kidney damage, serious kidney necrosis, and even cancer.

Therefore, it is recommended that when you buy, you must buy health care products from regular channels. For products with product approval number, the indicators of microorganisms and heavy metals basically do not exceed the standard, so there is a safety guarantee.

Second, can eating Ganoderma lucidum spore powder fight cancer? Doctors generally do not recommend it

By searching on some e-commerce platforms, we can find that even if some Ganoderma lucidum spore powder wears a “blue hat”, the merchant still claims that the product has “prevention and treatment of cancer”. “Efficacy, can it really fight tumors?

In response, Qiu Kui, Deputy Chief Pharmacist, Department of Pharmacy, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University means: Ganoderma lucidum spore powder does contain polysaccharides, nucleosides, terpenes and other nutrients, which have various effects. When it was developed as a health product, 11 functions have been declared, including boosting immunity and promoting sleep.

Therefore, people with low immunity, such as those who are relatively weak after major surgery, and those who are prone to repeated colds, can consume Ganoderma lucidum spore powder appropriately; The powder has the effect of invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi, so it can also be eaten by people with heart and spleen deficiency, shortness of breath, and dull complexion.

As for anti-cancer, it does not belong to the functional category of health care products.Health care products are not medicines and cannot be used to treat diseases. role, so everyone needs to understand this correctly.

Where does the anti-cancer claim about Ganoderma lucidum spore powder come from?

In 2006, a study (a mouse model experiment) published in the Journal of Mycology pointed out: “in Ganoderma lucidum Ganoderma lucidum acid has anti-tumor effect”.

But as early as 2007, the China Consumers Association issued a warning to remind everyone: It is not denied that some ingredients or extracts in Ganoderma lucidum do have anti-cancer effects, but at present, There is no report that meets the requirements of anti-tumor clinical trials, which can confirm that Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can play an anti-cancer or auxiliary tumor-inhibiting role.

In addition, Ding Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering also expressed his views. It is believed that the current research on the anti-cancer effect of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is relatively small, and is not enough to prove its anti-cancer basis.

Traditional Chinese medicine oncologist Zhang Ming said: Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is not suitable for everyone. It is a tonic, suitable for patients with physical weakness after cancer surgery, and helps to enhance physical fitness. However, after the operation, the physique is very good, so I need to supplement it blindly.On the contrary, it may promote tumor growth and induce tumor recurrence.

In general, Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can be used as a health care product, cancer patients can be used to improve immunity, but if they want to pursue ” If it has anti-cancer effect, don’t count on it, and there are many precautions when taking Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, so don’t blindly supplement it.

And Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is also divided into good and bad, everyone should pay attention to selection, generally speaking , a good Ganoderma lucidum spore powder has the following characteristics:

• The higher the wall-breaking rate, the darker the color;
• Smells a little oily;
• It feels fine and powdery;
• It tastes slightly A little bitter, but not gritty.

Third, can garlic and broccoli fight cancer? Keep these 3 points in mind to prevent cancer

Not only Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, but also many foods are called “anti-cancer foods” in the folk, such as garlic and broccoli, two common foods, Do they really have cancer-fighting properties?

Let’s take a look at garlic first. There is no scientific basis to prove that garlic is anti-cancer. Most of them are cell experiments and animal experiments, which are far from the actual situation of the human body. . However, allicin in it has certain antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and it still has a certain effect on protecting immune tissues.

The research on broccoli is also lacking in evidence. Previously, a study published in “Science” showed that broccoli has anti-cancer effects, but it is necessary to eat it every day. Enough 2.7kg to work, and this intake is obviously unrealistic.

So, don’t expect to fight cancer simply by eating a certain food Effective. If you really want to prevent cancer, what you need to do is:

1. Quit smoking and limit alcohol

< span>Smoke contains carcinogens such as nicotine and tar, which are the main factors leading to various cancers. After alcohol is absorbed, part of it will be decomposed into acetaldehyde by a specific enzyme (alcohol dehydrogenase) in the digestive tract, which is also carcinogenic. a kind of thing.

2. Regular exercise

Try to avoid prolonged sitting, actively participate in exercise, and avoid Overweight and obesity. It is recommended to sit for 1-2 hours, then get up and move for 15 minutes, exercise at least 30 minutes per day, and exercise at least 150 minutes per week, to maintain a normal weight.

3. Eat a healthy diet

Try to have a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat more fruits and vegetables every day. It is best to consume more than 5 different fruits and vegetables; eat less meat, especially red meat such as pigs, beef, and mutton, and processed meats such as sausage, ham, bacon, and bacon.

Summary: Not only Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, but also many other health care products. It does not have the effect of anti-cancer, so everyone should not listen to some home remedies. If some health products mention that they have preventive and therapeutic effects, don’t believe it, and don’t try it lightly, so as not to hurt the body.
