According to the daily science website, researchers at Barcelona Autonomous University led by Dr Edward eskrich found that a key mechanism in natural olive oil can protect the human body from breast cancer compared with other vegetable oils The study, carried out by researchers from Barcelona Autonomous University, revealed the internal activity mechanism of cancer cells, as well as the anti-cancer mechanism caused by olive oil compared with corn oil Corn oil is rich in n-6 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, which can increase the aggressiveness of cancer cells Scientists have confirmed that natural olive oil is associated with a higher incidence of breast benign tumors, and it can reduce the activity of p21ras, a oncogene that promotes free cell proliferation and stimulates the growth of cancer cells In addition, olive oil can inhibit the activity of some proteins, such as Akt, which are essential for cell survival, because these proteins can prevent cell apoptosis, that is, the "suicide" mechanism of cells Between the proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells, these effects break the balance mechanism of cell death, thus slowing down the growth of cancer cells.
