Parsley

Parsley is another commonly used herb that has anti-cancer properties. The myristicin in it has been found to inhibit cancer generated by benzopyrene, a compound generally found in foods like tobacco, coal tar, smoke, and grilled meats.

Animal studies have shown that myristicin could hinder forestomach tumor formation by 31% and lung tumor formation by 65%. The beneficial effects of this compound could come from its capacity to activate a detoxifying enzyme known as GST.
