    Did you know that sharks are the only animals that don't get cancer?

    Although it's not 100% true because there is no 100% in nature, but it's very close to it, and that is an amazing fact.


    No one really knows exactly why sharks rarely get cancer, but it is known that sharks produce large amounts of beta sitosterol in their bodies. Beta sitosterol can be found in large amounts in olive oil and avocados.
