Olive oil
Olive is belongs to the family Oleaceae, native to the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean Basin and south end of the Caspian Sea. Its fruit, is also called the olive and the source of olive oil.
Accumulations of evidence suggested that Olive oil, an integral ingredient of the "Mediterranean diet" may play an important role  in lowering the risk of several types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, through suppression of HER2 at the transcriptional level by up-regulating the expression of the Ets protein PEA3 -a DNA-binding protein that specifically blocks HER2 promoter activity- in ovarian cancer cell lines(22). Data from a multicentre case-control study conducted between 1992 and 1999 in Italy, indicated a protective effect of olive oil against ovarian cancer in Italian population(23). Oleic acid, the main olive oil's monounsaturated fatty acid, showed to suppress the overexpression of HER2 (erbB-2), a well know nutation gene in expression of invasive progression and metastasis in several human cancers, including ovarian cancer(24).
