“Dr. Peter Attia and I go deep talking about biological pathways of performance and longevity, macronutrient thresholds related to those pathways, cancer, growth factors, a little on ketones, and so much more. The video is chock full of helpful annotations...”

“While this data is very interesting and in line with many other associative studies... to definitively prove that the link that vitamin D and breast cancer survival is causal, randomized clinical trials vitamin D supplementation vs placebo would be necessary.”

“To assess the impact that these additives have on catechin bioavailability, the authors of the study added varying quantities of citric acid, BHT and EDTA (common preservatives), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), milk (cow's, soy, and rice), and citrus juice (orange, grapefruit, lemon, and lime) to prepared tea.”

“However, the researchers did not identify any associations between microbiota changes and memory performance or mood, a finding that may have been related to the small study size, according to the study's authors.”

“Carboxymethylcellulose, also known as cellulose gum, is a synthetic emulsifier (i.e., a compound that blends water and oil together) found in foods such as fruit juices, processed dairy products, cooked fish products, breakfast cereals, and many other foods.”

“Propionate is a short chain fatty acid that is normally produced by gut bacteria that consume a type of fiber called inulin. In this study, it reduced activity in brain regions associated with reward and decreased cravings for junk food.”

“The study did account for weight, smoking or drinking habits, income level and medication use, histories of high blood pressure, diabetes, physical activity, and sleep/wake patterns. Additionally, people with light at night also tended to go to sleep earlier, wake up later and spend more time in bed overall than counterparts who slept in darker rooms.”
