May Reduce Cancer Risk

Fruit, including lingonberries, contains fiber, plant-based chemicals, and vitamins that may lower the chance of developing cancer. Those mice that received 10% (by weight) of their high-fat diet as freeze-dried, powdered lingonberries had 60% smaller and 30% fewer tumors than the control group after 10-week research in which the mice were susceptible to intestinal tumors.

In addition, a test-tube investigation discovered that oral cancer cells' ability to grow and spread was suppressed by fermented lingonberry juice. However, the anticancer property of curcumin, a substance found in turmeric, required 30 times as much lingonberry juice to match it. Supplements containing lingonberry extract, which concentrates the advantageous elements, may be an alternative choice. Lingberry extracts may encourage the death of human leukemia cancer cells and prevent the growth and spread of breast, colon, and cervical cancer cells, according to experiments conducted in test tubes.
