Breast cancer is one of the deadly disease more often affects women. In Indonesia, women who are diagnosed with this disease continues to increase every year. Even in the UK, breast cancer affects about 125 women in each day. That's why the researchers intensively conducted research to find a cure for the deadly disease.

More recently, research in the United States succeeded in finding new solutions to cope with breast cancer. Eating an apple every day is believed the researchers can suppress the growth of cancer cells.

In research using mice as the object of his research team from Cornell Univerity penenliti's Institute for Comparative and Environmental Toxycology, New York, found that apples may slow tumor growth asenocarcinoma which has been the largest cause of death in patients with breast cancer. The more apples given to the rats, the more it can be slowed tumor progression.

"The number of tumors in mice that we provide not only the fewer apples, but also much smaller, less dangerous and growing more slowly than in the mice that did not eat the apple," said Prof. Rui Hai Liu, who was involved in research.

The results have been published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, shows that about 81 percent of mice who did not consume apples growing tumor cells are moving quickly. While groups of rats that ate one apple every day, only 23 percent who experienced tumor cell cultures.

The research team believe that the content of flavonoids or phenolics that makes apples potentially inhibit tumor cell growth. According to them, there is one apple in the content of flavonoids or phenolics are high enough that can fight breast cancer.
