ALERT! Beetroot juice kills cancer cells in 42 days

This claim—often shared online with dramatic headlines like “Beetroot juice cures cancer in 42 days!”—is not supported by scientific evidence and can be dangerously misleading.
Let’s separate fact from fiction, based on current medical research:
🔬 What Science Actually Says About Beets and Cancer
Beets contain beneficial compounds
Beetroots are rich in betalains (antioxidants), folate, and nitrates, which have shown anti-inflammatory and cell-protective properties in lab studies.
Some test-tube and animal studies suggest beet extracts may slow the growth of certain cancer cells—but this is far from proof it works in humans.
No human trials prove beet juice cures cancer
There are no peer-reviewed clinical trials showing that drinking beet juice eliminates tumors or cures cancer in people.
The “42-day” claim appears to stem from a misinterpretation of a small, uncontrolled anecdote—not rigorous science.
