Obesity and her2
Hi Gina,
Interesting point. I haven't had a problem with weight gain, which I guess is a good sign.
Dr Menendez's general work seems to be on how inhibiting something called the fatty acid synthase makes her2+++ breast cancer cells more likely to die. One thing I found interesting is that fatty acid synthase inhibitors have also been explored as obesity medicines. In fact, one of the substances that seemed to work when Menenez tested on it on her2+ breast cancer cells was the obesity drug orlistat. Outside of Menendez's work on oils, the only generally recognized as safe, natural fatty acid synthase inhibitor I could find was green tea.
