流行病学家经过数十年的研究,已经收集到证据,表明富含橄榄油的地中海饮食能够预防乳腺癌。美国西北大学医学院的哈维得·梅肯斯把乳腺癌细胞浸入到纯净的油酸中,结果发现致癌基因HER2的数量减少了一半。橄榄油脂肪酸还能增强赫塞门的效力。赫塞门是一种由抗体制成的药物,附着在HER2蛋白质上,促使癌细胞死亡。 After decades of research, epidemiologists have gathered evidence that Mediterranean diets rich in olive oil can prevent breast cancer. Harvey McKenzie of Northwestern University School of Medicine immersed breast cancer cells in pure oleic acid and found that the number of oncogene HER2 was reduced by half. Olive oil fatty acids also enhance Hershey’s effectiveness. Herceptin is a drug made from antibodies that attach to the HER2 protein and cause cancer cells to die.
