May Have An Anticancer Potential

According to research from China's Division of Experimental Oncology, National Key Laboratory of Biotherapy, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, lychee fruit pericarp contains polyphenolic chemicals with antioxidant activity. These chemicals have a strong antitumor potential in human liver cancer cells. Lychee contains a high concentration of organic chemicals, making it an effective cancer-prevention food.

According to a 2006 study, lychee fruit pericarp extract can cause apoptosis as well as suppress cell growth in breast cancer cells. According to research, lychee seed extracts might be used as an alternate therapy for prostate cancer treatment. Although human studies are still needed, the preliminary findings appear encouraging. According to the most recent research published in the journal Nutrients, lychee has certain therapeutic benefits that may aid in the treatment of colon cancer.
