BREAKING NEWS: Shocking Link Found between Pineapples and Cancer
In a stunning turn of events, scientists have discovered a potentially life-altering connection between the beloved fruit, pineapples, and cancer. Researchers at the prestigious National Institutes of Health (NIH) have uncovered a powerful antioxidant compound in pineapples that may help to prevent and even combat various types of cancer.
According to the study, which was published in the prestigious journal, Cancer Research, the compound, known as "bromelain," has been found to possess remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain is a natural enzyme that has been used for decades in various medical applications, but its potential as a cancer-fighting agent had yet to be fully explored.
Cancer and Pineapples: A Powerful Combination
The researchers at NIH discovered that bromelain is capable of reducing the growth of cancer cells by up to 85% in laboratory experiments. This remarkable finding suggests that pineapples, a fruit commonly consumed by millions of people around the world, may hold the key to unlocking a cancer treatment that is both effective and safe.
Cancer-Fighting Properties of Bromelain
The research team, led by Dr. Maria Rodriguez, attributed the anti-cancer properties of bromelain to its ability to inhibit the production of inflammatory compounds. "Our study suggests that bromelain may play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of cancer," Dr. Rodriguez stated. "The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of bromelain make it a promising candidate for the development of new cancer therapies."
Potential Applications and Next Steps
The implications of this breakthrough are vast. The discovery of the connection between pineapples and cancer could lead to the development of new and effective treatments for various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. Additionally, bromelain may also have therapeutic applications in the prevention and treatment of other diseases characterized by chronic inflammation.
As the scientific community continues to explore the potential of bromelain, further studies are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy. Meanwhile, the general public can continue to enjoy their pineapple-filled smoothies, pizzas, and desserts, knowing that they may be ingesting a potential game-changer in the fight against cancer.

I was thinking about pineapples while I was in the shower, as one does, and why they sting your tongue when you eat them. I knew it was because of the enzyme in the fruit called 'bromelain', and I knew that the stinging sensation was because it was trying to digest your tongue. But obviously our body combats it, yada yada, and any stinging tongue sensation we feel after is the damaged cells (that will heal). I was like, "Hmm, what is it digesting though? Is it sugar, proteins, what?" I remember that it digests proteins.
And I make a sudden connection to cancer.
It has been found that cancers require copious amounts of sugar, and (you may not have known this before) an amino acid, called 'glutamine'. Glutamine is an amino acid, one of 20 such molecules that cells string together into proteins.
You see where my connection is, right?
If you can starve a tumour's supply of glutamine by applying an enzyme to consume it, you have a pretty good chance to kill cancer.
I was almost 15 years old at that time, and I thought only two things as I rushed out of the bathroom to conduct some research: "Did I just discover a possible cure for cancer?" and "Has anyone else made this connection before?"
I sat down, and started my research. Turns out, bromelain is known to be a treatment for cancer, that is safer and more effective than chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. But the reason why not a lot of people may have known this, is because of pharmaceutical companies.
Isolating the enzyme is very expensive, which is why these companies keep the public in the dark about it. If more people knew about this, chances are, more cancer funding can be devoted to making the process less expensive, and developing quality research for this cure. So naturally, I had been frustrated.
The world really does revolve around money.
If you are interested, I dug up one of the papers I was looking at about bromelain around the time I was juggling studies lol (rip 15 year old me for trying to understand it), it's one I mostly got the gist of without trying to understand the full science until I was more free to research, and a link to a website that I had also checked out which was a bit more simpler.
