Green Beans Inhibit the Onset of Leukemia

Leukemia is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells produced by the bone marrow and/or the lymphatic system.

Depending on the malignant granulocytes or lymphocytes, leukemia is classified into myelogenous or lymphoblastic leukemia.

Bone marrow, containing two main types of stem cell is soft tissue inside the hollow center of the major bone, including the spine, pelvis, underarm, leg. etc. with the main function of generating blood cells.

Believe it or not, the bone marrow produces 200 billion new red blood cells every day, to replace the blood cells that die off, along with white blood cells and platelets.

According to the statistics provided by the leukemia research, leukemia is diagnosed 10 times more often in adults than children. Approximately, each year the disease causes the death of 68,000 Americans.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the 7th most common cancer in the U.S.

Acute leukemia is a condition caused by a rapid increase in the numbers of extreme immature white blood cells which appear in the bloodstream into other parts of the body, including tissue and organs, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

In ALL, lymphocytes appear immature in the bloodstream. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common children forms of leukemia with about 80% of all cases.

Chronic leukemia is a condition of the slow but still excessive build-up of relatively mature abnormal white blood cells. The condition has a tendency to spread slowly to other parts of the body through the bloodstream and/or lymphatic system, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).

Green bean is a genus of Phaseolus Sensu Stricto, containing 55 difference species, belong to the family Fabaceae and native to the New World tropics and grown in Europe for its attractive flowers and fleshy immature pods. It can be classified into two major groups, bush beans, and pole beans.

On finding a potent veggie for the prevention of leukemia, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center evaluated associations between consumption of vegetables, fruits, and meats with AML risk among Texas residents.

According to the results from all participants, 323 adult de novo AML cases and 380 frequency-matched controls, demographic and food frequency questionnaires, overall consumed the darkest green vegetables, including green beans significantly decreased AML risk, compared to significantly increased among greatest consumers of red meat.

Among women, consumption was in the highest quartile of dark-green vegetables had a relative odds ratio of 0.28 compared to the lowest quartile.

In other words, the intake of dark-green vegetables such as green beans has reduced risk leukemia only in women compared to men in a dose-dependent manner.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " Based on these findings, interventions can be developed to modify intake of specific dietary components to reduce cancer risk".

Taken altogether, dark-green vegetables such as green beans may be used as an adjunct therapy for the prevention of leukemia in women, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.
