There has been extensive research that proves that bitter melon is composed of multiple antiviral and antibacterial agents. This means that regular consumption of bitter melon can help prevent some infections and treat others when they occur. H. Pylori, a very common bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers, can be prevented by the regular consumption of bitter melon along with several viruses. More recent studies have even proven that there are anthelmintic agents in bitter melon, which means that the bitter juice of the squash can kill internal parasites without causing any damage to the person infected.
