Olive Oil Destroys Cancer Cells
While scientists have shown that the oleocanthal compound found in  extra virgin olive oil   causes cell death in cancer cells, they have been unable to provide an explanation for this phenomenon until now.
In a recent study,  Paul Breslin, David Foster, and Onica LeGendre discovered that the key to understanding the toxic effect of oleocantha in cancerous cells lies in its reaction with the lysosomes of the cell, where the cells store waste: the oleocantha ruptures the cancer cell lysosomes causing cell death within 30 minutes to an hour while leaving un-cancerous cells unharmed. This suggests that the lysosomal membranes of cancerous cells are weaker than those of uncancerous cells.
You are all to purchase some extra virgin olive oil (the "lighter flavor" is the most tolerable), and put a teaspoon in your mouth every night before bed.
That goes double for the smokers and drinkers.
