Dear @EH1999
I just had a quick look at this paper and this is a completely test-tube/cell-culture based experiment. Just as mentioned in the previous thread about HBV and foods such as turmeric/curcurmin (Lifestyle changes, nutrition, and supplements for hep b - #16 by ThomasTu), there’s a big big gap between showing something sort of works in a cell-culture experiment to eating something being beneficial.
I think it’s important to note that, for the most part, food is not medicine. Yes, healthy food will be better for you than unhealthy food on a metabolic level. But when it comes to treating disease, with few exceptions, food will not cure it because it is broken down relatively finely by your digestive system.
Oral medications have to be very carefully formulated to avoid being inactivated by your gut and make sure that enough active compound actually reaches the place where it’s needed.
Better to eat the clams because they’re tasty!
Hope this helps,
Thomas
