It seems a researcher found a link between avocado and beating leukemia at the molecular level : Paul Spagnuolo from Waterloo University, Canada, published a paper in famous Cancer Research (http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/) to explain how leukemia stem cells are specifically targeted by the lipidic compound he found in avocados, which hell call Avocadin B. That compound doesn’t harm healthy cells, thats why its so promising. He’s planning on having it approved to use in oncology clinics, which could mean for leukemia patients increasing life expectancy and quality of life.
