Prevention, “Breast Cancer” has high-quality olive oil

Scholar at Northwestern University in Chicago studies show that olive acid this substance can not only reduce the chances of suffering from cancer, and even suffering from cancer, but also increase their cure rate. The results, published in 2005, the latest issue of “Cancer Annual Report” on.

First, as the Chicago scholars have identified as olive acid can inhibit called “the female nerve sheath -2″ cancer gene activity, after pairs of proteins can cause some breast cancer treatment, was found to reduce the chances of breast cancer by 46%. For those unfortunate people who suffer from breast cancer, olive oil can also prevent it from worsening – olive oil can improve the treatment of breast cancer treatment. If only a small amount of acid in the role of the olives, then the cells will gradually adapt to olive-acid environment, and continue to grow, but if a sufficient amount of olive acid, then the tumor cells will be killed.

“We have done a lot of epidemiological studies, we now have information available to prove that the Mediterranean diet unique system can prevent cancer, heart disease and aging,” the study project’s main person in charge, said an associate professor at Northwestern University in Chicago. Unfortunately, the Americans want to put this discovery into clinical practice, but also a lengthy process. They now can only be taken down from the cancer patients some of the individual cancer cells experiment. Next, the first experiments in animals before conducting clinical trials, but only after going through this series of process, in order to recommend widespread use. However, there is nothing to stop the patient now started using more olive oil.

Of course, the above mentioned refers to the quality of olive oil into, and is a pressing of olive oil obtained. When buying olive oil, as you improperly savings may result in the tragedy of your life: We all know the poor quality of olive oil will not only lose its medical properties, but also produce carcinogenic substances.

Recently, the United States, researchers found that the Mediterranean diet (higher intake of olive oil rich in oleic acid) can prevent breast cancer causes. They also found that oleic acid may be the future of medicine. The researchers published their findings in the January 10, 2005 in the Annals of Oncology.

A series of experimental breast cancer cells that oleic acid can significantly reduce the level of cancer-causing gene Her-2/neu. Studies have shown that one-fifth of breast cancer occurred in patients with elevated levels of Her-2/neu, and these patients aggressive tumors stronger. Oleic acid not only inhibit the gene over-expression, but other experiments also showed that it can enhance the therapeutic effect of breast cancer drug trastuzumab. This drug is a monoclonal antibody drug that target Her-2/neu gene and can extend the lives of some breast cancer patients.

The researchers believe their findings reinforced the results of epidemiological studies, these results show that the Mediterranean diet can prevent cancer, heart disease and aging. The southern European population studies have shown that monounsaturated fatty acids (such as oleic acid) can influence breast cancer risk, but the results of animal experiments is not the case.

The researchers found that oleic acid can increase the expression of p27Kip1 protein, this protein is a tumor suppressor protein – which may be oleic acid on the Herceptin (Bio-Link Note: a treatment for breast cancer drug) produces sensitization effect of the fundamental reasons.

These findings not only helped to identify the fatty acids regulate the molecular mechanism of malignant breast cancer cells, but also shows that the interference of oleic acid-based therapy may be able to delay or prevent the Her-2/neu positive breast cancer patients resistant to Herceptin.
