Oysters a cure?

They had something on the news here in Baton Rouge the other night. Seems a doctor/researcher here at LSU has come across something exciting and promising in fighting breast cancer. He has extracted some chemical (can't remember the name) in the "fat" of oysters. When injected into the cancer cell of mice the cancer died within 45 minutes. He said a lot more testing and study needed to be done. In the mean time, it's a good excuse for me to eat more of one of my favorite dishes, raw oysters. Too bad we weren't mice, they seem to be cured rather easily...lol..sherryg683
