It is well known that inhalation of smoke (especially cigarette smoke) is the main cause of lung cancer, but the latest research on lung cancer cells in the laboratory has found that drinking one or two glasses of red wine a day can help prevent the formation of cancer cells Last year, the American Cancer Society recorded 219440 new cases of lung cancer, of which 159390 died In fact, researchers at the University of California have been looking at resveratrol in wine to see if the antioxidant can stop the spread of lung cancer cells Before the proliferation of lung tumor tissue, inflammation may occur due to the accumulation of toxic free radicals Resveratrol, as an antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory effect and can inhibit or even eliminate those harmful free radicals Dr Henry foreman, who led the study, said: "resveratrol does not chemically remove free radicals, but protects the lung tissue by protecting cysts from: winechina.com protease, an enzyme that kills pre cancer cells." Researchers found that resveratrol can protect cystatin and inhibit inflammation At present, the researchers only use concentrated air pollution (a camel cigarette) in the laboratory to test the impact of smoking on bronchial cells Then a certain dose of resveratrol was applied to the bronchial cells, from 2 micromol to 20 micromol (chemical concentration unit) 24 hours later, the number of cells treated with resveratrol was more than twice the number of lung cancer cells eliminated by cystatin, while some of the cells not treated with resveratrol died suddenly, some even rapidly reproduced harmful cells Although the results may be beneficial to human body, it is not that smoking while drinking wine is harmful to human body.
