Here's what my onc. said about Resveratrol

After I saw my oncologist yesterday, she said she would speak with one of her colleagues who has been doing some studies on Resveratrol and here is what she wrote me in her email today:

"he told me he tells breast cancer patients to avoid Resveratrol because of data showing that it can stimulate some breast cancer cell types."

So, there you have it. That's one opinion, but it seems to go along with what others have also posted.
