Nutrition
Research
See below for a list of existing research on the nutrients in mushrooms and how they may help in disease prevention. This research is just the beginning of what is sure to be an exciting journey into a fuller understanding of mushrooms and your health.
Mushrooms & Your Health
Cancer
Over the last decade, City of Hope researchers identified and tested cancer-inhibiting compounds in the common supermarket mushroom. Their work has moved into clinical trials at City of Hope, including the areas of suppressed growth of breast cancer and prostate cancer cells.

Just Add Mushrooms
Researchers have identified another good reason to eat more mushrooms. Research, published in Food Science & Nutrition (January 2021), found that adding a mushroom serving to the diet increased the intake of several micronutrients, including shortfall nutrients such as vitamin D, without any increase in calories, sodium or fat.8 Read more here.
Weight Management
Mushrooms are hearty and filling. Preliminary research suggests increasing intake of low energy dense foods, meaning few calories given the volume of food, specifically mushrooms, in place of high energy dense foods like lean ground beef can be helpful with weight management as they promote daily energy by limiting fat intake and leaving you full and satiated after a meal.5 Click here to read the full study.
Sodium Reduction
The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourages healthy dietary patterns that are low in sodium. Mushrooms are fat free, low in sodium and their inherent umami counterbalances saltiness and allows for less salt to be used in recipes. Learn more about the Culinary Institute of America’s work with mushrooms and sodium reduction.
