There is an interesting clinical trial being done at City of Hope regarding mushrooms as aromatase inhibitors. A co-worker of mine is a friend of one of the investigators (Dr. Chen). He spoke with him over the weekend about this and found that the capsules being given are the equivalent of 80 grams (approx 3 oz) of mushrooms. Below are links to the article in COH newsletter and to the clinical trial info.
