Kava Fact of the Day: A study was undertaken reviewing 39 different research articles. 32 of the 39 papers demonstrated antiproliferative properties (anti-cancer) with a focus on Flavokavain B and Flavokavain A.
This study found components of kava appear to present an area of interest with chemotherapeutic potential in cancer prevention and treatment, particularly for epithelial neoplasms [1] (80-90% of cancers[2]).

If you're interested in this, I highly suggest giving the paper a read. I just want to warn you not to take and post that link into https://sci-hub.st/ They went and broke down all these studies into their pieces and displayed them in an easy to follow format. Of course more research is necessary to draw solid conclusions, but this breaks down every KL and FK with references showing which cancers it may effect, and how.
