Olive oil and Her2 downregulation - question for the propellerheads

Agreed, agreed with Terri and others. Although foods and/or supplements are powerful medicines (or in the case of McDonalds - poisons), they have not been part of any clinical trials therefore much remains to be totally proven. And doctors don't recommend or try anything without a proven trial - hence some situations many of us have been in during this journey.

However, there are some bonefide facts - a healthful diet is healthy. When I was on Herceptin therapy, if I didn't have a salad everyday that I made a dressing with extra virgin olive oil, I would take a tablespoon off a spoon. I was at my sister's once and my niece saw me do this. She immediately told my sister who told my niece - its one of those things Aunt Becky does. If she believes it helps her then it does.

Another good way to get your daily dose of EVOO (at least I like it this way

) is, if you like hot cereal in the morning, instead of butter add a tblsp. of EVOO. It tastes pretty good on oatmeal, along with a little brown sugar and soy milk!

Tsund.

Re your observation.

Who will / funds trials that involve risk reduction through lifestyle and diet?

And why ?
