“Scientists use a probiotic and broccoli extract to target colorectal cancer cells. Probiotic was engineered to make an enzyme able to produce sulforaphane from the precursor in broccoli extract. It reduced tumor size by over 75% (in mice).”

“Cancer An abundance of data indicates that sirtuins act as both tumor-suppressors and tumor-promoters in various types of cancer. For example, whereas overexpression of SIRT1 suppresses tumor growth in colon cancer, its upregulation promotes tumor growth in gastric cancer.”

“These results are hypothesis-generating, not proof that a multivitamin slows aging or prevents disease. COSMOS Cancer Study Multivitamins and mortality When it comes to major diseases and mortality, the data aren’t as clear or convincing.”

“Activation of this particular circadian pathway killed cancer cells by inhibiting lipid production and autophagy, which allows for the recycling of nutrients. Inhibition of access to nutrients prevented the cancer cells from dividing and growing because cancer cells need more nutrients and more recycled materials to build new cells.”

“Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk for oropharyngeal, laryngeal, esophageal, liver, colon, rectal, and breast cancer. Importantly, risk increases in a dose-response fashion, and there's no apparent evidence of a threshold effect.”

“Epidemiological data indicate that regular exercise not only reduces the risk of developing cancer, but it also improves survival among people who have been diagnosed with cancer. Two theories have emerged to explain exercise's tumor-suppressive effects.”

“However, They found that the effect of high olive oil intake on reducing the risk of dying from all causes and cancer was slightly lower when considering the participants' biomarkers. These findings suggest that olive oil reduces the risk of early death from all causes, including cancer and cardiovascular disease.”

“Role of T cells in cancer, autoimmunity, and fighting infection The thymus is a lymphoid organ located behind the sternum and near the heart. Its primary purpose is to produce mature T cells, a type of white blood cell involved in allergies, autoimmunity, and immunity against pathogens.”

“(47:15) - "Exercise snacks" reduce all-cause & cancer-related mortality. (49:30) - Brain benefits of lactate from vigorous exercise. (52:29) - How blood flow generated from aerobic exercise kills circulating tumor cells.”

“Interestingly, magnesium supplementation (either through multivitamins or individual supplements) demonstrated an inverse association with pancreatic cancer risk. While these findings provide a correlation, they do not establish causation.”
