An ingredient in olive oil that appears to kill cancer cells

BRB, drinking olive oil.

If Japanese and Italians mate, are their kids immortal?

They're about to disappear.

It's probably more complicated than just drinking Olive oil. It's one particular molecule that has to be applied to the cancer cells. Maybe the amount of oleocanthal needed requires two bottles worth of olive oil.

This is the type of research and findings that will save us. Preventive measures are where it's at, since there are too many evil mother frickers in the world who would stand to lose money if a cure is found and made available to the general public.

They need to cook it and try again. I'd like to know if we get the benefits of the ingredient by using it in cooking, or if there needs to be a pill version of uncooked EVOO.

or a pill version of Oleocanthal concentrate.

Figure 3. OC downregulates ASM activity to induce LMP and cell death in cancer cells which is reversed by anionic lipids. (A) PC3, MDA-MB-231, BxPC3 and BJ cells were plated at a density of 3 x 105




cells/60 mm plate. 24 hr later the cells were provided with fresh media containing 0 or 10% serum and 10 µM OC where indicated. 4 hours later, the cells were treated with 5µM acridine orange. 15 minutes later, the cells were collected and subjected to fluorescence microscopy using Texas Red filter setting. (B) PC3, MDA-MB-231 and BxPC3 cells were plated at a density of 5 x 106




cells/10 cm plate. 24 hr later the cells were provided with fresh media containing 0 or 10% serum and 10 µM OC where indicated. 4 hours later, the cells were collected and subjected to the Acid Sphingomyelinase Fluorometric Assay kit to determine the activity of acid sphingomyelinase. (C) PC3 cells were plated at a density of 2 x 105




cells/60 mm plate. 24 hr later, the cells were provided with fresh media containing 10% serum or fresh media containing 10% serum and 30 µM Cerulenin as indicated. 24 hours later, the cells were provided with fresh media containing 0% serum and 10 µM OC where indicated. 4 hours later, the cells were treated with 5 µM acridine orange. 15 minutes later, the cells were collected and subjected to fluorescence microscopy using Texas Red filter setting or western blot analysis for levels of Hsp70 and GAPDH. (D) PC3 cells were plated at a density of 2 x 105




cells/60 mm plate. 24 hours later, the cells were provided with fresh media containing 0% serum, 10 µM OC and 10 µM OC with lipids where indicated. 4 or 24 hours later, cells were treated with 5 µM acridine orange. 15 minutes later, the cells were collected and subjected to fluorescence microscopy using Texas Red filter setting – 24 hours later cell viability was also determined. Imagej software was used to quantify the Western blots. Experiments shown are representative of at least two independent experiments. Scale bars = 200 µm.
