An international team of scientists has found that soy molasses and kudzu roots contain isoflavonoids with high antioxidant and cytotoxic activity. This means they can help fight cancer, especially when chemotherapy or surgery to remove metastases may be dangerous. A description of the study is published in the journal Plants.

The isoflavonoids in soy molasses and kudzu roots are phytoestrogens that mimic the action of the human hormone estrogen. They help to bind and remove from the body free radicals, which cause cell damage and disrupt immune system functions. This, in turn, leads to various diseases, including the formation of cancerous tumors.

Isoflavones found in plants are effective against dense tumor structures affecting human internal organs. For example, soy extract is most effective against metastases and malignant tumor cells developing in the muscles (rhabdomyosarcoma), while isoflavones from kudzu roots showed good anticarcinogenic effect against brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) and bone and connective tissue cancer (osteosarcoma). Studies were performed in vitro on cell lines of these diseases.

"The cancers studied have a high degree of metastasis and are resistant to therapeutic regimens. They are especially dangerous for children: About 40% of cancers in children are from these types of cancer. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy help in only 50% of cases, in the other 50% the cancer cells continue to metastasize, and in children's bodies the cells grow faster than in adults. In addition, radiation therapy is very toxic, especially for children. Thus, there is a need to develop innovative strategies that can potentially inhibit the growth of tumor cells without side effects, so plant extracts are an alternative to traditional drug therapy," explains Saied Abushanab,

Scientists determined that the most active isoflavones in both plant extracts were daidzein and genistein, which protect bone tissue. Puerarin, formononetin, and biochanin A were also found.

Do note daidzein and genistein are believed to impact male brains, according to a past study, so this is likely best used by those with known issues.

Somehow it just seems really, really scary to think about kudzu going up into ones brain.

[pangaea6]

Maybe there is a reason Kudzu is so pervasive, if only we could harness the renewable power of the vine into a medicine, or haha maybe fuel!

[GingisK]

Being from Georgia, I’m here to tell you that Kudzu root is in ample supply.

[madison10]

That is nice. I have a sensitivity to soy.

[Bethaneidh]

I have often wondered, if kudzu is such a weed in the south but a cherished treatment in Japan and expensive in our health food stores, why hasn’t international trade evened things out?

[dljordan]

I swear I could lie in my bed at night and hear the Kudzu growing towards my house. I could also hear the Copperheads slithering around singing hymns to the Kudzu in their tiny, high-pitched voices.

Kudzu Root is also used to reduce alcohol cravings.

Hear the rejoicing in Mississippi and Louisiana that anoth use for kudzu has been discovered.
