I ran across this 2000 Pubmed abstract ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...?dopt=Citation ) that links the active component of bitter melon to an adverse effect on the expression of breast tumor antigen HER2 (also known as neu or as c-erbB 2). I wonder if this association has been repeated by others more recently.
