“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.”

“The evidence for immunity has been bolstered by successes observed in studies that have administered convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients to severely ill patients and noted that the virus cleared within a week.”

“When we talk about epigenetic clocks, one of the key innovations of the last few years has been the development of techniques to reduce statistical noise to make them more accurate at detecting biological age.”

“Although scientists have identified other lifestyle behaviors that can help prevent the build-up of amyloid plaques by boosting the capacity for glymphatic clearance – such as exercise and adequate intake of omega-3 – the most important factor by far is a good night's sleep, especially deep sleep.”

“While the alcohol concentration in breast milk is low, infants cannot metabolize it very well and can cause altered sleep habits, decreased appetite, weight gain, low blood sugars, and impaired motor development.”
