Egg Whites Prevent Angiogenesis

Read, Cancer Res 2007 Apr 1;67(7):3263-8

Hi all

Some more research we found.

Isoleucine is an amino acid which is very abundant in egg whites. In a study done in Japan showed that isoleucine fed to lab mice prevented liver metastases. They found that it down-regulated angiogenesis (the forming of new blood supply to cancer cells) by the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF). Importantly, isoleucine is safe for humans because it does not affect normal cell viability.

So you can get your daily intake by eating egg whites or buying bulk isoluecine on the internet.

To Your Health
