“Cancer cells tend to produce energy by fermenting glucose to produce lactic acid, which acidifies the tumor environment, a phenomenon known as “cancer acidosis.” The acidity of the tumor environment alters the way cancer cells metabolize fats, increasing both the storage and the breakdown of fats.”

“gondii into a tumor environment can jump start the immune system. > "The biology of this organism is inherently different from other microbe-based immunotherapeutic strategies that typically just tickle immune cells from the outside," said Barbara Fox, senior research associate of Microbiology and Immunology.”

“In other words, caffeine can patch, but it can't fully repair the damage from poor sleep. "Bubble wrap" your sleep environment Protecting sleep from small disturbances often pays big dividends in next-day performance.”

“These findings suggest that young children face increased chemical exposure while they sleep, a substantial concern given how much time they spend in their sleeping environments. The investigators proposed that parents reduce exposure by regularly washing bedding and sleepwear, as fabrics tend to trap airborne chemicals.”

“These findings suggest that plastic pollution worsens heavy metal contamination not only by adding pollutants but by changing how metal-organic complexes behave and move in the environment. Learn more about microplastics in our overview article.”

“To address these concerns, chemical companies have introduced shorter-chain PFAS alternatives, which break down more quickly in the environment. However, a recent study found that these alternatives readily penetrate the skin, potentially increasing the health risks associated with PFAS exposure.”

“PFAS are principal components of plastic, which can break down and enter the environment as microplastics. Consequently, microplastics may be a major contributor to PFAS exposure. Learn more about microplastics and PFAS exposure in this episode featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“In order to maintain this low oxygen environment, the mitochondria of colon cells must consume high levels of oxygen; however, a diet high in saturated fat may impair mitochondrial function, facilitating the growth of TMAO-producing bacteria and increasing heart disease risk.”

“00:40:45 - How naps might aid with afternoon sleepiness and sleep loss. 00:42:40 - How we can tailor our indoor lighting environment to promote healthy circadian rhythms. 00:46:55 - How time-restricted eating (eating within a narrow time range) can be beneficial.”

“The study involved 356 toddlers (24 months old) enrolled in the STRONG Kids2 study, an ongoing investigation into how individual biology interacts with the family environment to promote healthy eating habits in young children.”
