May Help Fight Cancer
Beets are believed to have anti-cancer activity because of their richness in antioxidants and other compounds.
There is a deficit of studies in humans, but animal studies show [10] that beetroot extracts can reduce the proliferation of tumor cells. In vitro studies [11] with human cells have also found that beetroot extract helped reduce the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells.
While the results are promising, there is a need for more research on the topic. For now, it is still unclear whether these effects can be replicated in real people.
