Olive Oil uses for skin cancer,
Many people are surprised to learn that olive oil uses for skin cancer are far greater than they first believed. This is because the most commonly used source of the antioxidant polyphenols in olive oil is in fact a compound called tannic acid. It is this acid, along with a number of other highly reactive chemical compounds known as polyphenols, that cause the skin to burn and the lining of the digestive tract to ulcerate. Even though they are extremely reactive, polyphenols are widely used in many products because they are cheap to produce and so are easy to use. One of the more common olive oil uses for skin cancer is to prevent or slow the growth of cancer cells. This is because the compound EGCG, is found in grape skins and seeds, as well as a number of other plants. When these plants are used in food, it is converted into an antioxidant called superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is essential in preventing cancer. But the antioxidant is even more important for preventing skin cancer, since it can actually reverse its development by damaging cancer cells.
