Alan Greenspan's laxity is encouraging "speculative excesses."
Fiber might affect the risk of breast cancer by decreasing estrogen levels; fiber binds estrogen excreted into the gastrointestinal tract and reduces enterohepatic circulation [ 17 18 ] . In addition, higher dietary fiber intake has been associated with higher plasma levels of sex-hormone-binding globulin, which can reduce the bioavailability of estrogens [ 19 ] . The potential mechanism of a protective effect of vegetable fat is more speculative: vegetable fat is a composite of multiple forms of fatty acids, some of which have been proposed to increase risk (such as C 18:2 n-6) whereas other specific fatty acids have been proposed to decrease risk (such as C 18:1 , the primary fatty acid in olive oil) [ 20 ] . More detail on the type and composition of the vegetable oil used is necessary to pursue this relation with greater precision.
The occasional appearance of disciform capitula in S. bigelowii might be explained by introgression of genes or alleles from A. filfolia that control ray expression, a phenomenon observed in discoid Senecio squallidus and radiate S. vulgaris in Europe [ 67 ] . While this is speculative, it is consistent with hypotheses that hybridization and introgression are widespread in sect.
This putative autoregulatory mechanism for the catalytic subunit may help to explain why the overall abundance of PP1 during the various phases of the cell cycle remains relatively constant [ 32 ] . Historically, regulation of PP1 catalytic activity has resulted from associated subunits inhibiting or targeting the catalytic subunit towards substrates [ 33 ] . While the PP1 catalytic subunit is not found alone in the cell, such unassociated catalytic subunits have been shown to be active, at least in vitro . Although speculative, there may be a threshold amount of catalytic subunit in vivo above which associated proteins are limiting.
Unfortunately, the presentation of his linguistic argument, where the author is clearly treading on more speculative ground than in those parts dealing with outright archaeology, where he is on more familiar territory, is disorganized and repetitious.
