Preventium prevents breast cells from becoming cancer cells.

Beesie - I have alreadey reported this post in 3 other threads - lets get it expunged!

I think someone may need to alert his business partners in the University of Nebraska, that John Raffanti is making claims of these sorts! They are scientists after all, and John's previous position was in Foodstuff Marketing for Ritz. That's until he teamed up with the fellow Italian from Nebraska who worked on cancer biomarker development.

 They discovered an interesting marker, not too specific, but a novel kind of a biomarker which is kind of cool. There is little reason to believe that reducing this biomarker would have any effect on cancer risk (the markers are typically consequences, rather than causes, of cancer). There is also little reason to believe that John Raffanti's dietary supplement affects the levels of the biomarker in people who take it.

 But ... it's not like totally implausible. Dietary supplements have been marketed even when there has been research done, and then the "marginally plausible" hypotheses didn't pan out. But one can't market the stuff with the outrageous statements like "it prevents the cells from becoming cancerous". 

 Does anyone want to pursue the truth-in-advertizing issue? Or maybe just to remind Dr. Ercole Cavalieri that his reputation may be at stake?  ecavalie@unmc.edu
