Whenever I see a natural news site yes my hackles get raised. It is absolutely NOT true that scientists dont look at nature for help. Every single bit of our chemicals, our treatments come from nature. Sometimes the problem is that the phytochemical or plant chemical cant be produced very easily OR its not bioavailable meaning that its absorption is low, so we add a few hydroxyls or other groups to make it more stable in the body, then we name it and sell it. Thats how big pharma works. Its not magic..its not voodoo..its not a cult..and its not some big mystery to kill everyone. Its nature made into science. If you think that nature is so heavenly, well, nature is more cruel then science or chemo could ever be. For example. Acrylamide.....you are seeing this everywhere...that scientists are trying to poison your system with acrylamide..well honey...let me tell you..potatoes? they have the highest amount of natural acrylamide then any other plant out there...I mean SUPER high..then when you bake it..other phytochemicals actually turn into MORE acrylamide..which is why mcdonalds is so damaging...when you eat a shit ton of potatoes..it doesnt matter if the potatoes are organic and actually organic potatoes have been shown to have even higher amounts of this mutagenic deadly chemical. Thats just well..nature..its killer...but we scientists are always looking for new information..its called Botanical Pharmacology. My MS was in a lab just like this and my boss was from Duke. here is an example of some work being done with coffee seed oil. Another point I want to make is that when you buy a natural product from some natural maker, be sure they understand these differences, because whenever I talk to herbologist typically they love to tell you what the plant CAN do, but do they truly want to tell you how the plant can harm you?such as if you take grapefruit extract with certain medications it will cause a toxic effect in the body bc the grapefruit extract binds to enzymes in your liver causing other chemicals to rise steadily in your blood eventually becoming toxic...and that would never happen had you just not taken the grapefruit extract. So please.....be careful with all the health goodness, bc where theres a yin theres always a yang and where theres light theres always dark! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19250168
