“Obesogenic diets appear to accelerate epigenetic aging, contributing to metabolic dysfunction across multiple generations. Conversely, animal studies suggest that caloric restriction may slow epigenetic aging.”

“Ketosis, whether induced by fasting or by following a ketogenic diet, is associated with a reduction in dietary glucose. The body has elegant mechanisms that allow it to utilize non-carbohydrate substrates to generate glucose.”

“The ketogenic diet elicits ketosis to varying degrees, and assessing circulating ketone levels is important. Ketones can be measured in blood, breath, or urine, with the most suitable approach depending on several factors.”

“Bruce explains that this may still leave people insufficient for long-term diseases. In light of his triage theory, this means a poor diet may have enough nutrition to prevent serious acute diseases but still lead to accelerated aging and long-term diseases.”

“A large share of cancer risk is shaped not by genetics alone, but by everyday patterns of behavior that influence long-term health. Physical activity, diet quality, alcohol intake, sleep, nutrient status, and body weight are consistently associated with differences in cancer risk across populations.”

“Consumption of refined sugar dampened the reward associated with opioids (in mice) and may promote consumption of higher quantities. Oxycodone is also highly addictive. The U.S. National Survey on Drug Use and Health revealed that approximately 27.9 million people aged 12 or older used oxycodone products.”

“For the overweight and obese diabetics, a low carbohydrate/high fat and protein in the diet was most beneficial for weight control and glycemic status.”

“The types of fatty acids present in breast milk are strongly influenced by the mother's diet. This takes on special relevance for omega-3 fatty acids, which play critical roles in brain development.”

“A common feature of heart disease is arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Interestingly, research in fruit flies has shown that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor sleep and diet, increase the risk of developing arrhythmias.”
