Mango's hidden power: the orange fruit that helps your immune system fight cancer
  • 🔸 A new study from the University of Chicago (Cell Reports Medicine) found that zeaxanthin - a carotenoid that gives mangoes their golden color - may do much more than support eye health. It can actually make your immune system stronger against cancer!
  • 🔸 Researchers discovered that zeaxanthin boosts the performance of the body’s CD8+ T cells, the immune cells that hunt down and destroy tumor cells. In lab and animal tests, diets rich in zeaxanthin slowed tumor growth, and when paired with cancer immunotherapy, the results were even more impressive.
  • 🔸 Zeaxanthin helps T cells form stronger receptor structures and increases their signaling and tumor-killing power. The compound occurs naturally in colorful foods like Mango, orange peppers, corn, cantaloupe, and dark leafy greens.
  • 🔸 Because it’s already known to be safe and available as a dietary supplement, scientists see zeaxanthin as a promising addition to future cancer therapies. So, eating mangoes and other orange or yellow fruits may not only brighten your plate but also help your body’s natural defenses stay sharp: Pineapple, Carambola, Canistel, Garcinia, Loquat and more.

😆 A terrible crime!

A terrible crime has been committed.
The Louvre theft pales in comparison.
Someone snuck in last night and stole the entire contents of the kibble bowl.

The culprit remains at large,
but fortunately... the insurance bag covered the loss.
