    "Ethanol exposure induces the cancer associated phenotype and lethal tumor metabolism: implications for breast cancer prevention"

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23257780

    Interestingly "our results also show that antioxidants [such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)] can effectively reverse or prevent ethanol-induced oxidative stress in cancer-associated fibroblasts, suggesting a novel strategy for cancer prevention."

    Well I got all excited thinking that there was a supplement that I could take to offset any glasses of wine consumed, but of course find out that there are concerns with this supplement as well.  Anyone with any experience with this supplement?  Drinking wine just seems to be a thing of my past, unfortunately!

    TB90, yeah, I thought I recalled some negative things about NAC. What have you come across regarding it? (I wish I had a better memory!)

    "Both of these experimental conditions (diabetes and fasting/starvation) are known to be highly ketogenic and, thus, are consistent with our current hypothesis that ketone production fuels tumor growth. Finally, given our current findings that ketones increase tumor growth, cancer patients and their dieticians may want to re-consider the use of a “ketogenic diet” as a form of anti-cancer therapy."
