“>Animals account for ~80% of antibiotic usage in the U.S. and MRSA now kills more people in the U.S. than HIV. It's an interesting topic. Makes you sort of think twice about "ag gag" laws coming into play in some states.”

“The enzyme that is able to rebuild and lengthen telomeres, called telomerase remained unchanged and so it remains unclear how physical activity was able to increase telomere length in these individuals. Very interesting observation that will hopefully lead to future randomized controlled trials.”

“Here are some interesting reports that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. Over the past 50 years, the rates of childhood cancers have increased by an astonishing 35%. Other non-communicable diseases have increased, as well, including male reproductive birth defects, autism spectrum disorder, asthma, and type 2 diabetes.”

“Here are some interesting reports that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. Evidence suggests that leave-on cosmetic and personal care products—such as moisturizers, sunscreens, and deodorants—are prominent sources of microplastic exposure.”

“"This suggests that xenon could be given at the exact time the memory is reactivated, and for a limited amount of time, which may be key features for any potential therapy used in humans." Interestingly, another study also just got some press showing that xenon might be very effective at reducing damage caused by inflammatory processes after head trauma.”

“Creatine and Aging "What is interesting is that creatine seems to mitigate the age-related loss of muscle and strength, even in people who are sedentary." - Darren Candow, PhD. Aging leads to progressive muscle loss (sarcopenia), decreased strength, and functional decline, significantly affecting quality of life.”

“This was a small study with only 42 people and the effects only lasted an hour but it is an interesting proof-of-principle that electrical activity between two brain regions can be restored to a more youthful state and this improves working memory.”

“Also very interesting: > The Salford team also identified eight other drugs that could be used as a "second-punch" after the antibiotic regime, including berberine (a natural product) -- and a number of cheap non-toxic FDA approved drugs.”

“There was an interesting study published last year showing that obesity causes epigenetic changes and decreases activation of genes involved in learning and memory in humans. Obese men had sperm DNA that is different from sperm DNA in lean men in 300 genes and many are in the brain affecting learning/memory.”

“00:29:00 - An interesting clinical example of surprise mercury toxicity, possibly from diet and other factors, including genetic, associated with early mild cognitive impairment that was PET scan-positive for amyloid deposition.”
