...live longer by reducing the risk of cancer and other diseases. Now a team from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago appears to have identified precisely how olive oil helps fight one of the deadliest scourges: breast cancer. The researchers tested the effect of oleic acid - a monounsaturated fatty acid found principally in olive oil - on breast cancer cells. Their findings, published online by the Annals of Oncology, show that oleic acid cuts levels of a cancer-causing gene called her-2neu by 46%. her-2neu affects up to 30% of women with breast cancer. The team...
...high blood pressure. By acting as the sole signaling molecule for blood-vessel relaxation, nitric oxide is central to blood-pressure regulation. Such observations have been made in laboratory research. The natural production of nitric oxide in the body can be supported by supplementing the diet with the amino acid l-arginine in combination with antioxidant nutrients and by engaging in a moderate exercise program.

...stomach acid. Works best when taken for several days. RISKS: Stomach pain, mild rash, constipation. Can mask more severe problems such as gallstones or a narrowing of the esophagus. Increased the risk of developing pneumonia 89% in a recent study of elderly patients (presumably because the acids in the stomach were no longer strong enough to kill pneumonia-causing germs...
BENEFITS: Indirectly reduces production of stomach acid. RISKS: Headache, diarrhea, dizziness. May be less effective when used with antacids. The combination of Tagamet (cimetidine) and Valium can trigger confusion. Use of these drugs increased the risk of developing pneumonia 63% in a recent study...
