Pumpkin Seeds Reverse Bisphenol A Damage
A recent study reveals raw pumpkin seed oil is an effective therapeutic agent that alleviates the adverse effects caused by exposure to the endocrine disrupting chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Anti-oxidants, fatty acids, zinc and vitamin E were the main bioactive compounds found in pumpkin seeds that acted against the genotoxic, hepatotoxic, mutagenic, reproductive and carcinogenic effects of the xenoestrogen, BPA.
