Did you see the epidemiological data on green tea consumption? I know that some polyphenols (i.e. genestein) are estrogenic but many are not. Chocolate, for instance, has very high levels of the same polyphenol found in green tea (−)‐epigallocatechin gallate. We cannot avoid polyphenols as they are found in all fruits and vegetables; I think green tea consumption leads to lower cancer rates not so much because it has a unique polyphenol, but simply because it has very high amounts of a somewhat common one. It's interesting pondering cellular control in the lipid phase—the cell membrane, arachidonic acid, and prostaglandins—and how polyamine synthesis can be reduced by methionine restriction and through competition with selenomethionine, but there is also the water phase to think about: where small molecules like β-lapachone and select polyphenols could act to inhibit key enzymes. It could be helpful to conceptualize anticancer foods into three phases:Yes I did and @Koveras did also. The test study was done at John Hopkins in Delaware. Not sure if the trial is still open. They were done on men that were resistant to all androgen depravation therapies. I a trying not to get to that point. A lot of conversation has been going on different threads ala @Travis regarding stearic acid blocking the linoleic acid/prostaglandin pathway/polyamines from entering the cell and causing proliferation. I am following with GREAT INTEREST.
