According to the chairman of the research, Prof. Suzanna Zick, “The amount is equal to two tablespoons of powdered ginger root. Maybe it’s not the average amount of consumption of people every day. But in India, China, and Japan, they consume large amounts every day. ”
Tissue samples from the participants were taken before and after the research to find chemicals that cause inflammation of the colon. “Ginger can reduce inflammation in the intestinal tissue,”said Prof. Zick. “We know that increased inflammation, chronic inflammation in the intestinal tissue injury is strongly associated with pre-cancer, cancer or polyps,” he said.
