“Time-restricted eating, a form of fasting that limits the period during which a person eats to a 12- to 16-hour window, capitalizes on the benefits associated with both fasting and optimization of the body's circadian biology.”

“Consuming chocolate and cocoa may carry some risks, however, due to their cadmium content and possible effects on the fetus during pregnancy. In this Aliquot, I describe some of the research on the benefits and risks of consuming cocoa and chocolate, as foods or supplements.”

“A leaky gut, otherwise known as intestinal permeability, is a condition in which gaps form between the tight junctions of the endothelial cells that line the gut. These gaps allow pathogens like bacteria or endotoxins – toxins that are released when bacteria die – to leak through the intestinal wall and pass directly into the bloodstream, potentially triggering an acute inflammatory reaction.”

“A ketogenic diet is high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates. Research shows that it mimics fasting by inducing metabolic switching – the capacity to shift from metabolizing glucose to metabolizing fatty acids.”

“Heat can increase particle shedding or chemical migration, and acidic or fatty foods can increase migration for some food-contact chemicals. Laboratory testing found millions of microplastic particles per square centimeter after three minutes of microwave heating in some plastic containers.”

“Red yeast rice lowers LDL through monacolin K, which is chemically identical to lovastatin, so it shares statin-related mechanisms and requires attention to potency, contamination, medicine interactions, and muscle or liver effects.”
