“Interestingly, the patterns of higher consumption emerged late at night – after 9 p.m. These findings suggest that teens who don't get enough sleep consume more sugars late at night, potentially promoting weight gain and driving other health problems, such as obesity or diabetes.”

“Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death in developed nations. Health experts attribute much of the risks associated with colon cancer to dietary patterns, especially those that are high in red meat and low in fruits, vegetables, and fiber.”

“PCB exposure may also be linked to neurodegenerative disease PCBs bioaccumulate in human muscle and adipose tissue, brain, liver, and lungs and have long elimination half-lives, ranging from 10 to 15 years.”

“Although the causes of ADHD are likely multifactorial, evidence suggests that nutrition may influence both the etiology and severity of the condition. For example, some studies have shown that addressing micronutrient deficiencies, poor omega-3 fatty acid status, and food additive sensitivities may ameliorate symptoms of ADHD.”

“Autism-related behaviors and changes in brain gene activity appeared only in a subset of male offspring from obese egg donors carried by normal-weight mothers: These mice made more calls at postnatal day 8 and fewer by day 10.”

“Each of the participants had reported a history of chronic stress but had no psychiatric problems. Half of the participants took a placebo, while the other half took a supplement containing 300 milligrams of high-concentration full-spectrum Ashwagandha extract for 60 days.”

“Known for his work in the field of muscle physiology and aging, Dr. McGlory's research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle protein synthesis and degradation, with a particular emphasis on the roles that omega-3 fatty acids play in maintaining muscle health in older adults.”
