Finally A Reason For Everyone To Eat Black Jellybeans!
Paint it black!
Black jellybeans fight cancer? Finally there’s a reason to eat black jellybeans! For most of us black jellybeans are a hard yes you like them or a hard no I don’t! For me, I happen to love them. Black jellybeans and black licorice are my favorite candy. One of the best things about loving them is I never have to worry about sharing them with anyone at home. My family all pretty much hate them and prefer anything else in the jellybean jar. In fact, they dig them out of the jar and separate them just for me. Aren’t they nice?
Now black jellybeans and black licorice might save the day and your life!
Scientists have spent decades searching everywhere for a cure for cancer . . . so wouldn’t it be a cruel twist of fate if it was hidden all this time in everyone’s least favorite jellybean? (Yes, the black ones.) A new study has found that a chemical in black licorice could help fight pancreatic cancer . . . one of the world’s deadliest cancers. Anything that can help fight pancreatic cancer would be a welcome development.
Don’t avoid the flavonoid!
Experiments on mice have shown that a “flavonoid” in licorice root can kill pancreatic cancer cells. Not the candy flavoring . . . actual licorice root, which is an herb that’s widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. If you don’t have a taste for black licorice, maybe it’s time to start developing one.
Very promising results
Researchers also found it could make treatments like chemotherapy more effective. So, it’s a very promising development. Keep in mind that the research is still early, and doctors are warning people that you should NOT go out and consume large amounts of licorice. The American Heart Association says eating a TON of black licorice can cause heart and kidney problems, that in extreme cases can be “life-threatening.”
