The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of colorectal cancer
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 cup of strawberry
1/2 cup broccoli
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately
The finding of a natural source for treatment of colorectal cancer has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.
Colorectal cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progress cancer and in predictable way. It is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in developed countries, including US and Canada.
Strawberries is a genius of Fragaria × ananassa belongings to the family Roseaceae. The fruits have been grown all over the world in suitable climate for commercial profits and health benefits. Recent study by the Università Politecnica delle Marche, suggested that strawberry extracts expressed strongly anti oxidant effects and the capacity of promoting the action of antioxidant enzymes in protection against free radicals induced gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric ulcer, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease(4).
According to the University of California, berry extracts, particular strawberry containing major classes of berry phenolics expressed potential ability in inhibition of the growth of human colon (HT-29, HCT116) cancers through anti cell proliferation and modulate cellular proliferation and apoptosis of COX-2 expressing(3).
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.

Fruits rich in bioactive phytochemicals including several classes of phenolic compounds such as flavonoids (anthocyanins, flavonols and flavanols) and phenolic acids (hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids) are associated to lower risk of cancer, including bowel cancer(1)(2).
Strawberries is a genius of Fragaria × ananassa belongings to the family Roseaceae. The fruits have been grown all over the world in suitable climate for commercial profits and health benefits. Recent study by the Università Politecnica delle Marche, suggested that strawberry extracts expressed strongly anti oxidant effects and the capacity of promoting the action of antioxidant enzymes in protection against free radicals induced gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric ulcer, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease(4).
In support to the above claim, Dr. Wu QK and the research team at the University of Kuopio, berry extracts,(including strawberry) containing different phenolic profiles on cell viability and expression of markers of cell proliferation and apoptosis in human colon cancer HT-29 cells(5).
Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belong to the family Brassicaceae. It has large flower heads, usually green in color and the mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.
Dr. Lippmann D and colleagues at the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke said," High consumption of Brassica vegetables is considered to prevent especially colon carcinogenesis" and "GSLs(glucosinolates) can act anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic but both effects depend on the specific amount and pattern of GSLs within a vegetable"(8).
Isothiocyanates (ITCs) found in broccoli induced apoptosis in human colon cancer cell line SW480, through expression in some unkown potential pathways(6).
Sulforaphane, another natural product commonly found in broccoli, inhibited HCT116 human colon cancer cells angiogenesis and its progression through attenuating the expression of angiogenesis of tumors and mammalian development(HIF-1α) and migration and proliferation of endothelial cells(VEGF)(7).
Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate.
According to the Saga University, drinking 10 Japanese-size cups of green tea daily, supplemented with tablets of green tea extract (GTE), reduced the recurrence of colorectal cancer by 51.6% in patients after polypectomy(11) and an average of tumor volume by 70.3%(11).
In a cohort of 69,710 Chinese women aged 40 to 70 years, drink tea regularly at both the baseline and follow-up surveys are associated to reduced risk of colon and rectal cancer(9). According to the Shanghai Men's Health Study, regular consumption of green tea may reduce colorectal cancer risk among non-smokers but not smokers(10).
