Listening to the news last night, KDKA had a spot on Iron and that even though Iron is a vital nutrient, too much can be harmful. Wake Forset University is looking at a certain protein that regulates iron and studied the amount of it in breast cancer cells. This regulating protein is called ferroportin. The research team has found in the most aggressive breast cancers that ferroportin is reduced. This is all just in laboratory findings but gives promise to future insight and study points for and in the development of cancer drugs. I will keep following and let you know as more info comes out. It is a great day! s
