“Because of alcohol’s effect on other organs and the evidence that any dose of alcohol appears to elevate cancer risk, Dr. Huberman thinks that zero to two drinks per week represents a “safe zone” as long as you’re of age, not pregnant, and not an alcoholic.”

“Consensus evidence supports ApoB as a causal risk factor, but Dr. Attia’s proposed 10–30 mg/dL physiological range and treatment targets are attributed opinions, not universal guideline targets. Diet can change ApoB through several pathways.”

“Approximately 25 percent of people living in the United States carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“Dr. Krauss explains how some people might be inappropriately prescribed statins while other people should be taking statins. In addition, his current research is investigating whether statins can increase the risk of diabetes, especially for women.”

“Microbial responses to individual components of a person's diet may influence host health. Food ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners and dietary emulsifiers, are typically thought to be inert, however, recent evidence suggests they impact gut microbes, ultimately influencing human health.”

“However, she considers the amounts in its proprietary superfood, extract, and probiotic blends too small to justify expecting the broader benefits implied by those categories. She presents this as her assessment of the product label.”

“For instance, while the U.S. has high obesity rates, its rates of type 2 diabetes remain modest compared to countries like Singapore, India, and many Middle Eastern nations—populations that, on average, tend to have "fatter fat cells" and therefore develop metabolic complications at lower body mass indices (BMIs).”

“In this video, Dr. Darya & Kevin Rose talk about beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone body that increases in concentration during times of fasting or carbohydrate restriction. Beta-hydroxybutyrate also increases during a fasting-mimicking diet, which is a time of temporary period of calorie and protein restriction that generates many of the same biochemical effects of prolonged fasting.”

“A common feature of heart disease is arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Interestingly, research in fruit flies has shown that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor sleep and diet, increase the risk of developing arrhythmias.”

“- Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D. Highlighting a certain hypocrisy, Dr. Schoenfeld points out that while most parents won't blanch at their children participating in sports that are characterized by real risks of injury, they will often worry themselves unnecessarily about resistance training, which has fewer risks.”
