“1 02:37:05 - Mothers that chew xylitol gum starting mid-pregnancy and continuing until 6-12 months after birth lowered the oral streptococcus mutan bacteria, which is an anaerobic bacteria that plays a significant role in tooth decay, in their toddlers/children.”

“01:52:55 - Environmental enrichment creates epigenetic changes that benefit learning and memory in rodents and these benefits transfer to offspring. Study. 02:05:00 - NASA study showed that gravity influenced expression of genes involved in metastasis.”

“02:03:18 - A recent study measured omega-3 fatty acid levels from both supplemental and dietary sources in blood and found that for every 1 percent increment in omega-3 fatty acid levels there was a 20 percent decreased risk in all-cause mortality.”

“Dr. Patrick recommends bounded quality checks such as GMP manufacturing and independent testing; she notes that some tested products were below their stated heavy-metal limits, not that lion’s mane products are uniformly contaminated.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”

“Some people with primary sleeping disorders use melatonin to help them fall asleep. While some research indicates that melatonin helps with sleep latency — or the ability to fall asleep — it may not support a person's ability to stay asleep.”

“Gene polymorphisms, small changes in an organism's DNA sequence, can affect the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. A polymorphism in the MTHFR gene that decreases enzyme activity leads to inefficient folate metabolism.”

“A randomized-trial meta-analysis found a higher atrial-fibrillation risk with marine omega-3 supplementation, with a stronger signal at doses above 1 gram per day; the included populations generally had cardiovascular disease or elevated cardiovascular risk.”

“Dr. Bill Harris shares his nuanced insights into whether omega-3 supplementation carries a bleeding risk. Dr. Harris bases his understandings on observations from clinical trials using extreme dosages, additional research that directly contradicts omega-3 intake as a generalized concern for bleeding risk during surgery, as well as comments from the FDA.”

“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”
