“New research suggests that Neu5Gc, a type of sugar, provides another possible mechanism to explain the cancer-promoting effects of diets high in red meat and dairy products. Neu5Gc is a carbohydrate produced by non-human mammals and found in red meat and dairy products.”

“The method works to reactivate the cancer-specific T cells by injecting microgram amounts of two agents directly into the tumor site. Some of these tumor-specific activated T cells then leave the original tumor to find and destroy other identical tumors throughout the body.”

“Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive type of cancer with the one-year survival rate at 19% and five-year survival at about 5%. The hope is to reproduce these findings in humans which may lead to a more effective cancer treatment.”

“Previous research has shown that fructose can lead to excessive intestinal epithelial growth (called hyperplasia) and cancer; however, the effects of fructose on non-cancerous intestinal epithelial cells is unknown.”

“Running, in particular, is associated with improved aerobic fitness and cardiovascular function. A recent meta-analysis found that running, even for short periods, reduced the risk of mortality from all causes, especially cardiovascular- and cancer-related deaths.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses GLP-1 agonists, alpha-lipoic acid, ubiquinone vs. ubiquinol, calcium needs, and liquid biopsy cancer screening.

“Earlier treatments were linked to several better outcomes: Earlier treatment was tied to longer periods before the cancer worsened (progression-free survival). Patients treated before 3:00 pm had 7.6 months without progression compared with 5.8 months for later treatment.”

“CAR-T therapies have been successful against blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma, but have largely failed with solid tumors. Now, a new study in mice demonstrates that CAR-T is effective against ovarian cancer, nearly doubling survival time.”

“Increased activity of β-catenin is known to be a major factor in the development of many cancers and can make normal cells immortal, a key step in early stages of cancer progression.”

“The study did not find any lower risk of cancer recurrence for those who ate peanuts which are a legume and not a tree nut. Nuts are great sources of many micronutrients and both fermentable fiber (which feeds the gut microbiome) and non-fermentable fiber.”
