“But evidence suggests that supplemental vitamin D in lactating women can increase breast milk concentrations to levels that are adequate to reduce the risk of deficiency in breastfed infants. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the data suggesting that maternal supplemental vitamin D can reduce the risk of deficiency in breastfed infants.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Terry Wahls about how she reversed her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis with a micronutrient-dense diet and Paleo principles.”

“Since then, countless studies have tested Pauling's theories about vitamin C, colds, and cancer (and many others), and a substantial body of evidence has emerged, identifying critical roles for vitamin C in immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, cognitive development and preservation, and many other aspects of human health.”

“A national survey analysis estimated 2.6% severe deficiency, 22% moderate deficiency, and 40.9% insufficiency among US adults, although prevalence changes with the threshold used. These categories should remain distinct because insufficiency is not the same as clinical deficiency.”

“A 12-month randomized controlled trial found that vitamin D supplementation improved cognitive function, intelligence quotient scores, telomere length, and lowered oxidative stress markers in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (compared to placebo), suggesting that not only does vitamin D supplementation improve biomarkers of aging, but also functional outcomes.”

“A meta-analysis restricted to direct regional measures from MRI, CT, or ultrasound found a very small average hypertrophy benefit when creatine was combined with resistance training, with uncertainty around the pooled estimate and variation across sites and populations.”

“Peak plasma flavan-3-ol metabolites after the banana smoothie were 84 percent lower than after the capsule, while the low-PPO berry smoothie produced levels similar to the capsule. PPO is released when plant tissue is cut, bruised, or blended and can react with selected polyphenols before they reach circulation.”

“Even if mRNA could enter the nucleus, two other enzymes are missing to transform RNA into DNA and insert it into the human genome. Thus, the series of steps that would result in mRNA incorporating into nuclear DNA is biologically implausible.”

“Imaging studies also associate higher visceral fat with increased cancer incidence in some populations, while large cohort analyses link greater waist circumference with higher all-cause mortality.”
