Do you know what bisphenol A is? Bisphenol A is a chemical that’s widely used in the plastics that many of our foods and drinks are stored in. As you may know, bisphenol A is known to upset the delicate balance of our hormones. And now a study that just came out last month is linking bisphenol A levels to the epidemic of insulin resistance and obesity that we’re seeing today – especially in children.

I have been championing the cause of melatonin for years now. An increasing number of studies indicate that melatonin protects normal cells from radiation and chemotherapy while at the same time reducing cancer-cell growth. It doesn’t get much better than that for an integrated cancer therapy. Which is why I now consider melatonin to be a standard for the treatment of all solid tumors.

Researchers at the University of Reading, Massey University, and the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization decided to try to get to the bottom of the olive-leaf debate once and for all.
