on the post, investigates the effects of a substance in ginger, not ginger itself. Researchers looked at 6-shogaol , a substance derived from ginger, rather than the food. They conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments.
It also didn’t find that the substance “shrinks” tumours. The tumour experiment was in vivo, using fourteen mice, and the researchers reported that tumours treated with 6S grew less quickly than tumours that were not treated.
