With the number of diabetic patients in Taiwan Province province exceeding 2.3 million, the diet of "reducing starch" or "low sugar" began to be considered as a healthy diet, and "eating" was also considered as the main cause of obesity. But in fact, "rice" itself is not the source of the problem. "Eating too much" is the main reason why the body absorbs too much starch. Eating the right rice can even help "fight cancer" and enhance immunity, which is the best "health preservation".

Chen, a senior attending physician in the Department of Radiation Oncology, MacKay Hospital, studied rice 10 in Taiwan Province Province for several years, and found that the ingredients in rice can help white blood cells, even regulate human immune system and fight leukemia cancer cells.

The endosperm extract of rice can help fight leukemia. Chen has a Chinese and western medicine license. He often brings Chinese medicine "dietotherapy" into western medicine research, because dietotherapy is not as harmful to the body as medicine, and it is more acceptable for patients with serious cancer.

20 17, a study by Chen was published in Food and Chemical Toxicology. He found that rice contains a kind of gliadin, which is a kind of protein with stable temperature in rice endosperm in Taiwan Province Province, and has immunomodulatory effect on leukemia cancer cells commonly known as "hematologic cancer".

The research team divided the mice into four groups: normal mice and L 12 10 (leukemia lymphocytes) mice, which were given gliadin 10 mg/kg body weight and gliadin 30 mg/kg body weight respectively; It was found that the anti-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and anti-viral interferon (IFN) in gliadin group increased by 20 times.

Although there are gliadin in wheat, it is easy to cause diarrhea, allergy or high immunity. Unlike wheat, rice is a very good staple food choice for Asians.

However, this research is still limited to mouse experiments. Although some cancer patients have recovered their physical strength and resumed their normal life through "eating" and "drinking rice soup" in clinic, this does not mean that they can rely on rice to fight cancer, but they still need to be prepared for cancer prevention and maintain a good life and rest. But in the process of keeping in good health, eating may be an option that can be included.
