“A randomized controlled trial found 4 common chemical sunscreens (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and ecamsule) were absorbed into the bloodstream at concentrations above the FDA's potential toxicological threshold.”

“Air collected over the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles led to 60% more brain amyloid plaque in mice. Another study found that for every 3.5 micrograms of PM2.5 per cubic meter of air, white matter (the myelinated region of the brain) decreased by 6 cubic centimeters.”

“Cooked vegetable oil worsened inflammation in the colon, enhanced tumor growth, promoted gut leakage, and caused harmful bacterial products to leak into the bloodstream in mice. This study used canola oil which is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as are other vegetable oils such as soy and corn.”

“The fact that both upper and lower body muscle strength but not handgrip strength was linked to better cognitive function suggests that handgrip strength may not be a good proxy to measure upper body strength.”

“The curcumin group had a 28% improvement in their memory/attention abilities and fewer amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain via PET analysis while the placebo group showed no improvements. The curcumin was a bioavailable form of curcumin called Theracurmin.”

“An isocaloric low-carbohydrate diet given to obese humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease resulted in decreased liver fat, improved lipid metabolism, and reduced inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers after two weeks (pilot study with 10 people).”

“New clinical trial shows that people that were given whole grains had a modest improvement in a good type of gut bacteria, modestly lowered inflammatory gut bacteria, and modestly increased memory T cells after 6 weeks compared to those given refined grains.”

“The intravenous vitamin C may also show encouraging results in a small sample of people with glioblastoma. Remember that oral doses of vitamin C (even liposomal) can not achieve the same plasma concentrations that IVC can, which are between 800 to 1,000-fold higher.”

“A new study shows the "obesity paradox,” the idea that obese people live longer than those of normal weight, may be explained by muscle mass. After accounting for muscle mass, high BMI no longer associates with greater survival.”
