The claim that overripe bananas contain tumor necrosis factor (TNF) with anti-cancer properties is a common myth. According to experts, TNF is a protein produced by the human body, not plants, and plays a crucial role in regulating immunity and inflammation.¹
Debunking the Myth:
– TNF Production: TNF is produced by macrophages and lymphocytes in the human body, not by plants like bananas.
– Digestive System: Even if bananas did contain TNF, the digestive system would break down the protein before it could be absorbed into the bloodstream.
– No Scientific Evidence: There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that eating overripe bananas can boost TNF levels or prevent cancer.
