A lovely friend of mine has already bought me some Oleuropein to bring me back and is asking if I think she should get more from where she is on holiday at the moment because she was told it is very powerful blah blah blah backed up by research..

What do you think of the article below?

H2RC corporation has done the research..maybe I have become a cynical but I smell a rat.

Is it just me or are you also fed up that on one hand have regulations/big pharma that make it impossible to get things that may help you before another 10 years of trial and funding many of the small biotech cannot afford..and on the other hand, greedy people who manage to publish fake results without fear of being caught..

Abstract
Oleuropein, a non-toxic secoiridoid derived from the olive tree, is a powerful antioxidant and anti-angiogenic agent. Here, we show it to be a potent anti-cancer compound, directly disrupting actin filaments in cells and in a cell-free assay. Oleuropein inhibited the proliferation and migration of advanced-grade tumor cell lines in a dose-responsive manner. In a novel tube-disruption assay, Oleuropein irreversibly rounded cancer cells, preventing their replication, motility, and invasiveness; these effects were reversible in normal cells. When administered orally to mice that developed spontaneous tumors, Oleuropein completely regressed tumors in 9-12 days. When tumors were resected prior to complete regression, they lacked cohesiveness and had a crumbly consistency. No viable cells could be recovered from these tumors. These observations elevate Oleuropein from a non-toxic antioxidant into a potent anti-tumor agent with direct effects against tumor cells. Our data may also explain the cancer-protective effects of the olive-rich Mediterranean diet.
