the infromation on Glutamine....
Recently I read a post from Deb, (halfvass) who mentions that her onc.
told her to stop taking glutamine...because it can cause tumors to grow.
Many take this supplement...and I did some fast checking and found some
studies..in various cancers...colon, prostate, breast etc. But I am not
finding anything that supports this....anyone have information please
post. I am most interested in this.
