Olive Oil and Herceptin
While, olive oil may have a potential benefit in lowering the risk of several types of cancers. Colomer R and Menendez JA. at Hospital de Girona Dr. Josep Trueta, Spain recently suggested a interesting molecular explanation for the anti-cancer actions of olive oil. In their study, they found that oleic acid from olive oil also suppressed the overexpression of HER2 (Her-2/neu, erbB-2) of breast cancer cells.
