I have been obsessed about bananas in my fight against cancer. They just keep coming up. When I was doing the FOCC (flaxseed oilo, cottage cheese).. before I realized i was allergic to milk... I would add a banana and some stevia, and I just loved it. When I was doing some automatic writing and meditating, the word banana kept popping into my head. What is it about bananas.
I went to the nutritionist and he didn't want me to eat bananas because they have too much sugar content. I agree with staying away from sugar, but bananas... why... must....eat....bananas!!!! I stayed away from them, I didn't feel as well.
I ate 1/2 a banana tonight that was not on the green side. it was not brown either, just a perfectly tasty banana. I have to admit I have been cutting up greenish bananas, freezing them and adding 1/2 to my protein shakes. I figure green ones don't have a lot of sugar, and although you can taste the difference raw, added to a shake gives it just the right banana flavor. It got me thinking, well why don't I look to see if people think it fights cancer?
Well let me tell you.... ripe bananas make something called TNF which is shown to fight cancer cells. What? really? Whoo hoo, I knew it!!!!! Let's get a little more scientific. TNF, tumor necrosis factor, helps regulate immune cells, increasing white cells, and inducing apoptosis. That basically means the abnormal cells will commit cell suicide. So ripe (brown spotted) bananas cause cancer cells to self destruct!
This is such an amazing discovery for me, I had to blog about it. Now... how do I convince my nutritionist I need to add ripe bananas to my diet? Hmmmm...... how indeed?
