In a 2014 study, researchers used lectin from okra in a lab test to treat human breast cancer cells. The treatment reduced cancer cell growth by 63% and killed 72% of the human cancer cells. More studies are needed to see if okra has an effect on cancer in humans. Okra is a good source of folate. One 2016 review suggested that folate may have preventive effects against breast cancer risk. A low folate intake may also increase a person’s risk of developing a range of cancers, including cervical, pancreatic, lung, and breast cancer. However, there is no evidence that taking a folate supplement lowers the risk of cancer. Some scientists think that very high levels of folate may fuel the growth of cancer cells. Consuming folate from food sources alone is unlikely to have this effect, and people should aim to obtain enough folate from foods, such as okra. #HealthBenefitsOfVegesFruits
