“Glucose has long been considered the brain's primary fuel, but ketone bodies may offer critical support, especially during periods of low carbohydrate availability.”

“Both beverages provided 119 milligrams of caffeine – a little more than the amount present in one cup of coffee. At the end of the three weeks, they ate a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal, and then researchers measured their blood glucose, insulin, and other metabolic markers.”

“These findings support a practical bedtime buffer, especially for a large or carbohydrate-rich meal, while allowing for differences in chronotype, meal composition, reflux symptoms, and metabolic health. An earlier final meal may also support the normal nighttime decline in blood pressure.”

“Subgroup analyses of depression trials pointed to stronger benefits when it was confirmed that participants were actually in ketosis, when diets were very low in carbohydrate, when control groups did not follow high-carbohydrate diets, and among participants without obesity.”

“The men who exercised before eating had nearly 2-fold higher whole-body lipid utilization rates as well as decreased carbohydrate utilization compared to the men who exercised after eating. The effects were sustained throughout the entire six-week study period.”

“Researchers identified a unique carbohydrate present only on the surface of solid tumor cells, not healthy ones, and engineered CARs with a strong affinity for the carbohydrate. Then, they delivered the CAR-T therapy via intravenous injection to mice with ovarian cancer.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

“In this small randomized controlled trial, the processed and unprocessed meals had the same amounts of calories, sugars, fiber, fat, and carbohydrates, and participants were free to consume as much as they wanted.”

“These products often combine refined carbohydrates, added fat, low protein density, little intact fiber, and a texture that encourages faster eating. The result is food that delivers energy quickly while doing less to satisfy appetite.”

“Small, dense LDL particles are thought to be more atherogenic and have been shown to form in the presence of both saturated fat and refined carbohydrates. You can read more about the role of small, dense LDL particles in atherosclerosis on the summary of the podcast I did.”
