How might bitter melon help treat cancer?


Be Healthy: Bitter melon, or bitter gourd, has served as a traditional Indian remedy for centuries. Recently, bitter melon extract supplements have been gaining popularity as an alternative medication for diabetes. Now, new research in mice seems to suggest that bitter melon extract may help fight cancer.
Bitter melon (Momordica charantia), also known as bitter gourd, is a “relative” of both cucumber and zucchini. It originated in the South Indian state of Kerala.
It later became more widespread, with China first importing the fruit in the 14th century. It then spread to regions of Africa and to the Caribbean.
Traditionally, bitter melon has helped treat many health concerns, and it has recently gained some popularity as a natural remedy against diabetes.
The fruit is also a staple of certain Asian cuisines, adding to local dishes’ unique flavor through its specific bitterness.
