Ginger, prostate and 5-HETE.

[Guest guest]

Dear Jerry (Mittelman)

 

Thank you for the reference via find articles. What I was looking for was

the reference you used to justify the quote below. The reference you gave

me does not do that. Can you please refer me to another more appropriate

article?

 

JoAnn has just posted an extract from:

 

Beyond Aspirin: The COX-2 Medical Revolution

Healthy & Natural Journal, Oct, 2000

by Thomas M. Newmark, Paul Schulick

 

 

This refers to the study but does not give a traceable source.

 

From another articl posted today I think the position is that 5-HETE is a

switch not a food.
