The seed that takes out disease-causing cells

Seeds used in traditional cuisines are making a comeback as people turn to options like quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and black cumin to avoid gluten and improve their health.

Recently, researchers from Japan found that a traditional liquor made from buckwheat could even be used medicinally.

Chinese buckwheat liquor, a traditional drink that contains various herbal medicine extracts, can induce autophagy, a process that cells use to clean up proteins that are damaged or no longer needed. In fact, it may hold promise for diseases associated with protein aggregation, like Alzheimer’s and alcoholic liver disease.

Taking out the trash

Numerous diseases start with a buildup of bad proteins — ones that have suffered some sort of insult.

For example, in Alzheimer’s disease dangerous proteins known as amyloid-beta and tau build up in the brain.  Over time, these proteins destroy the ability to remember, think and even live independently.

In liver disease, protein aggregates build-up, keeping the organ from functioning properly and backing up toxins into the body.

So what could a liquor do to help?

Well, according to a study published in Antioxidants, Chinese buckwheat liquor and one of its components could be the secret to cleaning out these damaged proteins to keep everything working like clockwork.

The research team from Osaka University found that tartary buckwheat extract has the power to induce a process known as autophagy that cells use to clean up proteins that harm your body.

Think of it as taking out the trash.

The researchers made this incredible discovery by treating skin and liver cells with tartary buckwheat extract and looking at how different fluorescent markers of autophagy responded.

The results?

“We found that treating cells with the extract stimulated the formation of autophagasomes, specialized cellular structures that carry out autophagy, and altered the location of proteins involved in regulating autophagy,” said Takeshi Noda, senior author of the study.

When the researchers looked more closely at specific components of tartary buckwheat extract, they found that one component, quercetin, had the same effects as the extract.

These results suggest that quercetin could be a useful treatment not only for alcoholic liver disease but also for Alzheimer’s — one of the least treatable diseases of our time!
