Fermented Wheat Germ Treats Multiple Cancers

New research has confirmed that fermented wheat germ – especially using sourdough fermentation methods – is a viable cancer treatment, able to halt the growth of cancer cells. The new research, from Italy’s University of Bari and Germany’s Martin Luther University, screened over 40 fermenting bacteria types and tested wheat germ fermented using traditional sourdough methods against raw wheat germ. The laboratory research then tested these against multiple human cancer cell lines. They found that while the raw wheat germ had no anticancer potential, the fermented wheat germs showed significant inhibition of cancer cell growth. This new research confirms previous research on fermented wheat germ as an anti-cancer drug.
