Dear Lao Hsieh,
As I read those analysis based on very few rearch, I do not know.
I only know Linus Pauling gve many contribution to the foundation of modern chemistry.
As I know, his great contribution is chemical bond, based on quantum electro-dynamics(short for QED).
A deeper look at the matter(all matter), the molecular chemical reaction is based on Linus Payling's explanation.
Simply said:
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
Same apply to CO, C2O, The question,(problem ) is :
What are the H3B H4C H5N, H6O, H7F, nature can make those, But Human research it.
So that the real scientist do dull thing, every humble nobel prize winner do great thing,
Einstein make his E=MC^2 evolve more then 200 years, I will give this one later.
Einstein get his glory based on Lorentz : the so call Lorentz Transformation is work I am study, think
for two years. No Idea, at all. Only one page text. No more, No Less.
Linus Pauling is Oregon person, work as many job to get the money to study Physics.
Yesterday, the moon is so bright, I drink Er4 Guo Tou2, US$10/ bottle, one month one bottle!!!
Go to Tai Chi,
Best Regards,
Wuhow

Dear All:
FYI, because the tiny amount of xanthohumol in regular beer, I have to drink a lot of beer everyday!
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Hops used to brew beer may have some health benefits but researchers warn against
| | |
Scientists at Oregon State University's Linus Pauling Institute have
|
found a class of compounds called flavonids neutralize "free radicals" ?rogue oxygen molecules that can damage cells.
| | |
One of those flavonids, a compound called xanthohumol, is found only in
|
hops. It may help prevent some forms of cancer, researchers say.
| | |
Some beers already have higher levels of flavonids than others. The
|
lager and pilsner beers commonly sold in domestic U.S. brews have fairly low levels of these compounds, but some porter, stout and ale brews have much higher levels.
| | |
Still, the level of the compound in beer is generally considered too
|
low to have any significant preventive effect.
| | |
"We can't say that drinking beer will help prevent cancer," said Fred
|
Stevens, OSU assistant professor of pharmacy and scientist in the Linus Pauling Institute.
| | |
Hops, from a flowering plant, are used by brewers as a bittering agent
|
in beer. Xanthohumol is a yellow substance that was first discovered in hops in 1913.
| | |
But its health effects were not known until the 1990s, when Stevens and
|
colleagues started studying the flavonoid compound. In cell cultures and animal studies, xanthohumol targeted various types of cancer, including breast, colon and ovarian.
| | |
His original work, along with new developments in the anti-cancer
|
properties of xanthohumol made during the past decade, was reviewed last year in the journal Phytochemistry.
| | |
Now Stevens is collaborating with fellow Linus Pauling Institute
|
scientist Emily Ho to investigate the effects of the flavonoid on prostate cancer cells.
| | |
"When we give the flavonoid to cancer cells, it seems to slow their
|
growth, which is what you want to do for cancer," said Ho, who is also an assistant professor in OSUs department of nutrition and exercise sciences.
| | |
Although the tiny amounts of xanthohumol found in beer have little
|
preventive value, Stevens thinks it may be possible in the future for drug companies to develop pills containing concentrated doses of the flavonoid.
