How to prevent cancer through diet has always been a topic of concern. A recent study in Japan has shown that Japanese Actinidia arguta (also known as Japanese sarunashi fruit or hardy kiwi) can help prevent lung cancer.

A paper published in the journal Genes and Environment on Dec. 9, 2022, showed that isoquercetin (isoQ) in the sarunashi fruit could eliminate the A549 lung cancer cells by blocking the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to cell carcinogenesis and cancer proliferation.
