Scientists at Texas A&M AgriLife Research found that peaches had the ability to prevent breast cancer cells from spreading. This comes in light of previous research showing the cancer-killing activity of peach and plum extracts in culture.

In the study, researchers took aggressive breast cancer cells and injected the solution into mice. After the mice were injected, they were given peach extract. Researchers found the peach extract inhibited the growth of metastatic spread to the lungs.
