Consumption of cardamom can reduce the risk of dangerous triple negative breast cancer and can also be treated.



  • Risk of triple negative breast cancer in women under 40 years of age
  • Much different than normal breast cancer
  • Cardamom is a cure for cancer


Triple negative breast cancer


You may have heard a lot about breast cancer, a disease in women, but have you ever heard of triple negative breast cancer? 

Triple negative breast cancer accounts for 10 to 15 percent of all breast cancers in women. 

Triple negative breast cancer is the deadliest form of common breast cancer. 

When estrogen and progesterone are not found in cancer cells and these cells cannot make proteins or what is called HER2, these cancers are exposed.


Women under the age of 40 are at risk of triple negative breast cancer. 

Apart from this those who have BRCA1 mutation in their body are more prone to it than others. 

There are two types of genes in our body BRCA1 and BRCA2. 

When these genes do not work properly for any reason, this condition increases the chances of developing triple negative breast cancer.

Triple negative breast cancer is very different from other breast cancers. 

It grows rapidly and spreads. 

There are few treatment options. 

The health of women suffering from this cancer seems to deteriorate further with time.


Symptoms of triple negative breast cancer

  • Tightening of the skin around the breasts
  • Change the color of the skin around the breasts
  • Tumors forming around the underarms
  • A change in the color of the nipple
  • Fluid coming out of the nipple
  • Redness around the breasts


Causes of Triple Negative Breast Cancer

  • Blood relation
  • The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes do not work properly
  • Being overweight
  • Taking time in menopause
  • Exposure to radiation
  • Drink plenty of alcohol



Assistant Professor and Research Analyst at A&M University, Florida Patricia Mendonca says cardamomine can be very helpful in preventing triple negative breast cancer. Dr. 

According to Patricia, cardamonin is a natural compound that can be very effective in treating this cancer. 

This is an element found in cardamom and ginger.


Dr. Patricia says that cardamonin contains anticancer compounds, which are used to prevent triple negative breast cancer. 

Mendonca released a report attached to the research at the annual meeting of the American Society for Investigative Pathology.


Dr. Cardamom has anti-cancer properties, which can help treat breast, prostate and colorectal cancers, Mendonca said. 

In addition, it may be helpful in treating inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. 

Mendonca said cardamom has been used in Indian food for years and is also sold as a supplement in medical stores. 

"We have also decided to investigate its effects on the PD-1 and PD-L1 / Nrf2 axis," he said.



 What are PD-1 and PD-L1?


Two checkpoint proteins play an important role in the response of cancer cells in the body.


PD - 1


PD-1 is called programmed cell death protein 1. 

These T cells contain a protein present. 

These are immune cells, which protect the body from infection and prevent cancer cells from growing.


PD-L1


PD-L1 is called cell death ligand 1. 

It is a protein found in large amounts in antigen-progenitor cells as well as in certain cancer cells.


When combined with PD-1 and PD-L1, it acts as a 'break' that prevents T cells from invading other cells. 

In doing so, it also prevents T cells from killing cancer cells. 

In such cases, if PD-1 and PD-L1 are prevented from binding together, the ability of T cells to kill cancer cells increases.


Dr. Mendonca said cardamom has been used as a spice for centuries and is now eaten as a supplement. 

Cardamom is very beneficial for health. 

"Our study found that cardamom has the potential to treat triple negative breast cancer," he said.


Benefits of cardamom

Cancer Fighting Compounds


The compounds present in cardamom can help fight cancer cells. 

Research in rats has shown that cardamom may increase the activity of certain enzymes, which help fight cancer. 

Consumption of cardamom increases the ability of natural killer cells to attack tumors.


Beneficial for digestion



Cardamom has been consumed for years for digestion. 

Cardamom consumption also relieves problems like restlessness and vomiting. 

It also helps in getting rid of stomach related problems.


Oral health



Cardamom is also consumed as a mouth freshener. 

Consumption of cardamom also helps in killing the bacteria in the mouth, which causes bad breath.
