德国耶拿大学营养毒理学系的维布克·施卢尔曼博士及其同事研究发现,由于坚果可以激活机体清除活性氧的防御功能,因此,对机体有保护作用。这些活性氧由紫外线照射、各种化学或者食物代谢物质产生,从而造成癌症的发生发展。“机体具有一系列让活性氧物质失活的保护机制。”维布克·施卢尔曼博 Dr. Wakebuch Schluhlmann of the Department of Nutritional Toxicology at the University of Jena in Germany and colleagues found that nuts have a protective effect on the body because they activate the body’s defense against reactive oxygen species. These reactive oxygen species by ultraviolet light, a variety of chemical or food metabolites, resulting in the development of cancer. “The body has a series of protective mechanisms that inactivate reactive oxygen species.” "
