6. Kills Cancer

A study that was conducted at the University of Colorado proved that the juice of the bitter melon was able to kill the cells of pancreatic cancer. The growth of the tumors were reduced by 60%. The best part is there were no negative side effects from this treatment. Traditional treatments, such as radiation and chemotherapy leave the body tired and weak as well as leaving the patient nauseous and usually with a complete loss of hair.

 

7. Weight Loss

The bitter melon doesn’t have very many calories in it but it does deliver important vitamins and nutrients. It has been shown to rid the body of excess fatty tissue. As it does with type 2 diabetes, the juice of the bitter melon helps with insulin resistance and blood glucose levels. Both of those things help your body from storing sugar and will help you to lose weight.

 

8. Boosts Immune system

When you increase your intake of bitter melon juice and fruit, you will be helping to improve your immune system.
