Recent research from Osaka Metropolitan University highlights the potential cancer-preventive properties of nucleic acids found in traditional Japanese foods. Led by Associate Professor Akiko Kojima-Yuasa, the study discovered that nucleic acids, particularly from salmon milt and torula yeast, can inhibit cancer cell growth. The compound guanosine was identified as particularly effective in preventing cancer cells from entering their replication phase. These findings suggest that dietary sources of nucleic acids could play a significant role in cancer prevention and may lead to new dietary guidelines or supplements.
