Oleuropein from olives may also have antibacterial properties. When unheated olives are brined to preserve them, oleuropein is converted into another chemical called elenolic acid. Elenolic acid has shown antibacterial actions against several species of Lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilus in a test tube study.9 Whether or not the oleuropein in the leaf undergoes such a transformation is open to question at this point, raising some question as to its antibacterial effects and potential use for this purpose in humans.

Researchers are also investigating small molecules, like polyphenols found in grapes, olives, tea leaves and berries, that can control telomerase. [Mutagenesis 17:539-50, 2002] Gene targeted drugs Researchers are also beginning to re-examine the concept behind anti-cancer drugs that target specific genes, because more than one gene is involved in cancer. Targeted cancer drugs such as Gleevec (Novartis) and Iressa (AstraZeneca), which are portrayed as "magic bullets" because they are designed to hit single, biological targets, have been disappointing. Gleevec ended up influencing other genes.

Yes, and they are addressed by small molecules, like resveratrol from red wine, allicin from garlic, and oleuropin from olives, that switch hundreds of genes at a time. No mention of these. "I think this is a turning point in biomedical research and I think it is a turning point for medicine, "said Anna Barker, deputy head of the NCI. In fact, it is tragic that no one confronts these health authorities on the misleading statements they continue to make.

Like some other molecules found in olives and berries, resveratrol hinders all three major steps involved in cancer - the initiation (gene mutation), growth and spread (metastasis) of tumor cells, something no existing cancer drug does. It is a small molecule that can enter into the genetic machinery of living cells and favorably switch certain genes on or off. [Journal Nutritional Biochemistry 16: 449-66, 2005] One cancer researcher calls the gene switching properties of resveratrol enormous. That statement is attributed to Dr.

Life Sciences 62:541-6, 1998] There is something unusual about olives - they can be placed in a dish and remain intact without the fungal spoilage experienced by most other foods, for over a year.

Antioxidants extracted from pomegranates, onions, cranberries, grape skins, olives and cherries protect DNA from breakage by radiation or free radical bullets. The growth of cancer is inhibited by removing iron and copper from tumors through the use of rice bran extract (IP6). IP6 is also required to repair double-strand DNA breaks (where the DNA breaks at both ends). Resveratrol, known as a red wine molecule, activates a DNA repair gene (Sirtuin 1) and blocks cancer at all three stages of development (initiation, growth and spread), which is more than any anti-cancer drug can do.
