Cutest pair of boobies I've seen in a long time!

Capsaicin, a compound found in peppers of the genus Capsicum, inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells, according to a team of researchers in Germany.
The team’s experiments were carried out with the SUM149PT cell culture, a model system for a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer, i.e. the triple-negative type.
In the cultivated cells, the researchers detected a number of typical olfactory receptors.
“One receptor occurred very frequently; it is usually found in the fifth cranial nerve. It belongs to the so-called transient receptor potential channels and is named TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor),” they explained.
“That receptor is activated by the spicy molecule capsaicin as well as by helional, a scent of fresh sea breeze.”
The authors confirmed the existence of TRPV1 in tumor cells in nine different samples from patients suffering from breast cancer.
They activated the TRPV1 receptor in the cell culture with capsaicin or helional, by adding the substances to the culture for a period of several hours or days. As a result, the cancer cells divided more slowly.
Moreover, the treatment caused tumor cells to die in larger numbers.
The surviving cells were no longer able to move as quickly as heretofore; this implies that their ability to form metastases in the body was impeded.
“If we could switch on the TRPV1 receptor with specific drugs, this might constitute a new treatment approach for this type of cancer,” said Prof. Hanns Hatt, from the Department of Cell Physiology at the Ruhr-University Bochum.

Cayenne pepper has a lot of health benefits. I use it to settle an upset stomach.
The rules in my kitchen:
1) Everything’s better with cayenne,
2) Cayenne fixes everything.
I use it to treat sinus problems.
The results from testing therapies in a cell culture outside the body doesnt always correlate with clinical effect. Wish it was that easy...
Anyone know the dose you should take?
Indeed. I've killed 100% of cancer cells in culture by adding bleach to the growth media. I would never suggest that people consume bleach to try to cure their cancers.
Some interesting stats here showing Whites and Blacks as having the highest rate of breast cancer and American Indians, Hispanics and Asian Pacific Islanders having the lowest. The American Indians and Hispanics consume allot of peppers, know nothing about the Islanders diet.

From the article, “An intake of food or inhalation is insufficient...” Sort of early for me and not enough coffee yet But it sounds like the chemicals have to be done via I.V. or needle? Maybe that is only after cancer is detected and consuming it may help prevent it. Either way.. interesting study to me.
Save the boobies, ladies...eat hot peppers!
Cutest pair of boobies I've seen in a long time!
Wouldn’t work for me. I’m so allergic to any kind of peppers, get hives all the way through my digestive system if I accidentally eat even a little bit.
Those will be some hot tamales.
