“Supplementation with the omega-3 EPA (4g/day) reduced cardiovascular-related death by 25% in people with high triglycerides on statins compared to those taking a placebo (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 8,179 people from around the world).”

“I understand that it would not be possible to make a placebo drink if the whole fruit was used...but I think it is better to consume the berries with the fiber which changes the way sugar is metabolized and also has benefits for the gut microbiome.”

“Since it takes the FDA about 4 years to identify safety concerns after a drug has been on the market, perhaps a clinical trial investigating a new drug needs a follow-up of 4 years to determine how safe it is in the first place.”

“> "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.”

“The importance of time of day for this type of intermittent fasting is still an interesting open question, especially since there’s a lot of advocacy for late eating among 16:8 advocates, however, insulin sensitivity usually declines later in the day (and is exacerbated by the production of melatonin, which has an effect of shutting off insulin secretion).”

“Amyloid beta plaques accumulate outside of neurons in the brain and disrupt synapses (the connections between two neurons that form memories) and is just one way that memory loss occurs in Alzheimer's disease.”

“The authors estimated that the end-of-life cancer costs in Germany were more than $48,000 USD per patient, but the cost of vitamin D supplementation $30 USD per year. They estimated that 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily would reduce cancer deaths in Germany by 13 percent, or about 30,000 lives, at a savings of more than $308 million USD.”

“Typically found in peripheral tissues such as the skin, dendritic cells migrate to the lymph nodes, where they interact with T cells to induce immune responses against pathogens, vaccines, and cancer cells.”

“The investigators conducted an analysis using Mendelian randomization, a research method that provides evidence of links between modifiable risk factors and disease based on genetic variants within a population.”

“Since RBD precedes brain changes associated with various neurological disorders, the authors of the study hypothesized it was a marker for a body-first subtype.The case-control study involved 37 people with suspected Parkinson's disease between the ages of 50 and 85 years, and 22 people with RBD of unknown cause.”
