anticancer

Despite this evidence, marketing claims by the supplement industry continue to imply anticancer benefits.

In fact, access to anticancer drugs in France is pretty exemplary [1, 2].

A five armed mouse study for an anticancer drug runs in the 10-60k range (I can't give my exact quote at the moment).

I can reproducibly make the anticancer compound in one of my strains and am working on debugging and getting a second strain running.

I was able to raise $56,000 for an experiment in anticancer research.

I picked $5 billion because I think that's the minimum cost of developing a general broad spectrum anticancer drug, which seems like the overarching goal.

It's not in spectacular journals (which as a scientist would probably be as suspicious to me as a flashy video is to you), but, I've done spectroscopy on a metastable peptide, isolated and characterized an anticancer compound, and improved an enzyme fourfold with hand picked site directed mutagenesis.

Perhaps it's a self-serving thing to say, but I think that's one of the few places where animal experimentation makes sense; even the next-generation anticancer drugs, which recruit the immune system, don't make sense to be tested in mice, because in order to transplant the cancer cells, you have to start with immune-system-less mice (otherwise the cancer gets depleted by the mouse's own immune system).

You left out the most important part of that statement: [citation needed] The previous line actually sheds more light on this: "As with all immunosuppressive medications, in theory, sirolimus may decrease the body's inherent anticancer activity and allow some cancers that would have been naturally destroyed to proliferate."

The researchers hypothesized that this might be because the whole broccoli contained other compounds that helped people’s bodies put the anticancer chemicals to use." Now, the "appeal to nature" argument here would be that there is something fundamentally irreducible or non-replicable in broccoli that we just can't reproduce in a lab, because nature.

Consider the broccoli example mentioned in the article: "A 2011 study on broccoli, for example, found that giving subjects fresh broccoli florets led them to absorb and metabolize seven times more of the anticancer compounds known as glucosinolates, present in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, than when glucosinolates were given in straight capsule form.
