Tom Yum Kung keeps cancer away
A bowl of tom yum kung a day helps keep cancer away. According to a Thai-Japanese study.
Although the result is only preliminary, the researchers say the world’s most popular Thai dish has several anti-cancer properties more effective than other antioxidants.
Substances found in galangal, lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves-the main ingredients found in the spicy soup-are 100 times more effective in preventing tumors than those found in other food.
“ Thai cuisine is full of herbs and spices which are known for their health benefits “ said Suratwadee Jiwajinda, a researcher at Central Laboratory and Greenhouse complex, Kasetsart University.
