Ginger helps prevent cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Alzheimer, immune system weakness, inflammation. Ginger is a powerful agent against several forms of cancer, as hundreds of papers show. Recently, a paper came out showing that 6-shogaol, present in ginger, was found to be effective against spheroid cancer cells at concentrations 10000+ times smaller than those of taxol, a chemotherapy drug. Even at concentrations 10000 times higher than ginger ingredient, taxol was ineffective against those cancer cells. To find this data use Ctrl-F to search for 10000 in the free September 2015 paper at ► http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0137614. Since some brands of tea have 4002 times more lead than others, it may be best to buy ginger from less polluted countries ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexPsi/posts/YDetvQjpr2Y

► INHIBIT AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) ◄

A study found that ginger was the strongest inhibitor of AGEs (advanced glycation end products https://plus.google.com/+AlexPsi/posts/UrqfoFSEjL1) among 17 plants tested. Ginger reduced AGEs by 93% in the fluorescence test, compared to just 43% for apple, 31% for garlic, 29% for orange and 5% for onion. In the carbonyl test, ginger inhibited 64% of protein carbonyls, while apple only 7%, lemon 13%, orange 14% and onion 24%. In other tests ginger was also much stronger than green tea, black pepper, cinnamon ►

► ANTI-OXIDANT POWER to Neutralize Free Radicals and Slow Aging (many centenarians used it daily) ◄

Raw ginger has ORAC antioxidant score of 14840, 38 times higher than wine. Powder ginger has ORAC score of 28811, 73 times higher than white wine (ORAC value 392 at the bottom of the list) ► http://www.phytochemicals.info/list-orac-values.php. Orange/red wine has only 2-5 times more antioxidants than white one. The ORAC values published by the US Department of Agriculture show the amount of anti-oxidants (that neutralize free radicals) in food.

► LEAD TOXICITY ◄

Ginger diminished the toxic effects of lead in rats by enhancing the levels of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-s-transferase and catalase. Interestingly, other studies showed that glutathione is involved in removal of heavy metals from the body - most urine mercury being glutathione mercury complexes. ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4008737/ ► J Food Sci Technol. 2014 May; 51(5): 908–914.

A 68500 women study found that the use of ginger during pregnancy to alleviate morning sickness did not lead to birth defects ► http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22706624 (Eur J Clin Pharmacol. 2013 Feb;69(2):269-77.) - RESULTS:
Among the 68,522 women in the study, 1,020 (1.5 %) women reported using ginger during pregnancy. The use of ginger during pregnancy was not associated with any increased risk of congenital malformations. No increased risk for stillbirth/perinatal death, preterm birth, low birth weight, or low Apgar score was detected for the women exposed to ginger during pregnancy compared to women who had not been exposed.
CONCLUSION:
Use of ginger during pregnancy does not seem to increase the risk of congenital malformations, stillbirth/perinatal death, preterm birth, low birth weight, or low Apgar score. This finding is clinically important for health care professionals giving advice to pregnant women with Nausea and Vomiting issues.
Other studies showed ginger reduces menstrual pain and can cut blood loss in half ► http://nutritionfacts.org/video/ginger-nausea-menstrual-cramps-irritable-bowel-syndrome/ (see Sources Cited for all 15 studies of the video)

► VEGANISM ◄

For 100+ reasons I didn't eat meat for 21 years and dairy for 13 years (12% of millennials have already given up meat in America) see ► https://plus.google.com/+AlexPsi/posts/2Z1fCnTHWbh. Going vegan is like planting 62 trees in your backyard, as far as CO2 emissions reduction.💜😊💜
