Cop: Olive oil may help prevent brain cancer.

Original title: Science: Olive oil ingredients may help prevent brain cancer
Olive oil has long been considered a healthier cooking oil, and a study published by the University of Edinburgh in the UK even suggests that lycopeic acid present in olive oil may help inhibit the production of cell molecules in brain cancer, which may shed new thoughts on the prevention of this type of cancer.
is a monounsaturated fatty acid found in plants and animals and is also a major component of olive oil. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh analyzed the substance in depth in a laboratory environment.
report, which has been published in the Journal of Molecular Biology, lysoic acid allows a protein called MSI2 to continuously produce miR-7 molecules. This molecule is very active in the human brain and inhibits tumor formation.
researchers say the findings demonstrate the effects of lyoic acid on tumor suppressors in cells. Future scientists could delve into the role of olive oil in brain health and perhaps develop treatments for brain cancer based on the substance. But whether long-term consumption of olive oil can actually help prevent brain cancer requires further research. (Zhang Jiawei)
