## Summary
- Hiroshima University researchers have discovered that fermented stevia extract can effectively kill pancreatic cancer cells while preserving healthy cells, presenting a potential new cancer treatment.
- Pancreatic cancer is notably resistant to standard treatments, with a five-year survival rate below 10%, highlighting the urgent need for innovative cancer therapies derived from medicinal plants.
- The study, published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, demonstrated that fermented stevia extract (FSLE) inhibits cancer growth without harming normal kidney cells.
- The fermentation process involved the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum SN13T, which alters the extract's structure and produces beneficial bioactive metabolites.
- FSLE was shown to be more effective than nonfermented stevia in killing cancer cells while causing minimal damage to human kidney cells, an important consideration since conventional chemotherapy can harm kidneys.
- A specific compound, chlorogenic acid methyl ester (CAME), was identified as the primary anticancer agent in FSLE, with fermentation increasing its efficacy by altering its precursor.
- CAME was found to prevent cancer cell multiplication, induce self-destruction, and modify gene expression to promote cell death.
- Future research is planned to test the effects of FSLE in living organisms, with the aim of understanding its impact on the body as a whole.
- Dr. Joseph Mercola emphasized the health benefits of stevia, noting its superiority over artificial sweeteners, while cautioning against sweeteners mixed with stevia that may affect blood sugar levels.

Jarvis & @jarvis_best • Follow Kamala's book is going to be incredible. X Tim was a breath of fresh air on the campaign was largely responsible for the "joy" vibes that permeated the early days of our partnership. Our internal polling had shown that voters described my chronic laughter as off-putting and reminiscent of a witch or a sick horse, but Tim said we could turn a negative into a positive by running a positive, upbeat, "joyful" campaign to contrast Donald's darker, more diabolical vibes. The early returns were quite positive. The Joy Campaign allowed friendly media to portray us as relatable by engaging in things that ordinary scum did often, such as shopping for "potato chips." We released a video where Tim and I and some staffers whose names I forget went into a grocery store Secret Service had cleared out. As planned, Tim picked up a bag of mesquite flavored chips and tossed them to me. After about a dozen takes, Tim managed to successfully throw them to me and I managed to catch them. We released the ordinary shoppers from the shed they were locked in and hit the road. People loved that video. While the public seemed to like Tim initially, the polling showed he was unable to make inroads with young straight men. We tried everything. Pictures of Tim hunting. Fixing cars. Talking football. But every time we thought we had a winner, Tim would take the stage at an event and prance about and wave frantically with both hands like a complete sissy and the polls would dive again 12:41 PM • Aug 5, 2025
