Pineapple cures cancer

Pineapple stem may combat cancer
Pineapple
Extract contains bioactive chemicals
Two molecules isolated from an extract of crushed pineapple stems have shown promise in fighting cancer growth.

One molecule called CCS blocks a protein called Ras, which is defective in approximately 30% of all cancers.

The other, called CCZ, stimulates the body's own immune system to target and kill cancer cells.
