However, there have been rumors on the Internet that cancer patients cannot eat peanuts, and eating peanuts will accelerate cancer metastasis. The article is not unfounded. instead quotes a paper published by researchers at the University of Liverpool in the UK last year. So is there any scientific basis for this situation?

Will peanuts accelerate cancer metastasis?
Studies have found that peanuts may promote cancer. Medical journal Carcinogenesis once published a study led by the University of Liverpool, UK, . This study found that PNA-peanut lectin can easily increase the risk of cancer cells having heterotypic adhesion in the vascular endothelium, and at the same time it can easily promote cancer cells to produce homotypic organisms.
In the mouse model, peanut lectin also showed a corresponding phenomenon that promotes the spread of cancer cells.
, and the international medical journal "Cancerism" also published a study conducted by researchers at the University of Liverpool in 2021. This study confirmed that when the amount of peanuts used by the body reaches a certain level, the peanut lectin in the peanut will react with the endothelial cells of the blood vessel wall, and produces two cytokines: interleukin 6 and monocyte chemotaxis protein.
And these two substances are a key medium for cancer cell metastasis, but this study also found that peanut lectin has two conditions for promoting cancer cell metastasis. The first one is cancer patients, and the second one is peanut consumption.
Only when more than 250 grams of a single use can bring the risk of cancer cell metastasis within one hour after .
So from this point we can see that for cancer patients, as long as everyone grasps the intake of peanuts , there will be no risk of cancer metastasis. It is still very good to consume peanuts at low doses.
