Olive Oil & Cancer - Powerful New Research!

Ben and Dr. Ralph Moss take a deep dive into newly published research on extra virgin olive oil and its potential role in supporting cancer patients. The discussion covers reduced hand-foot syndrome during chemotherapy, specifically Xeloda (capecitabine), lowered all-cause mortality, and the reasons EVOO topped Dr. Moss’s list of anti-cancer foods.
The episode also examines how to understand real quality in olive oil—from taste to polyphenol content—and what to look for in a product that offers more than just flavor.

“Fill up that self-help space with scientifically documented ways to reduce your cancer risk.” – Dr. Ralph W. Moss
