More evidence pointing to the importance of balancing the omega threes and sixes and getting some nine.
Also Rhonda found and posted on the other section the second item which suggest that other chemicals (phenols) in VIRGIN olive oil ADD to the effect possibly reversing herceptin resistance. I felt it was well worth reposting here.
Please discuss dietary changes with your doctor.
