“A study of 263 adults with MCI or Alzheimer's disease consuming less than ~200 mg/day of caffeine (coffee was considered a primary source) was associated with a 149% increased risk of memory loss and lower levels of amyloid-related biomarkers compared to lower caffeine intake.”

“Since then, countless studies have tested Pauling's theories about vitamin C, colds, and cancer (and many others), and a substantial body of evidence has emerged, identifying critical roles for vitamin C in immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, cognitive development and preservation, and many other aspects of human health.”

“The fascinating way Dr. Panda is using human anecdote from his trial to ask new scientific questions he wouldn't think to ask and then going back to animal data to figure it out and how this unique approach forms a sort of closed loop pattern: animal → human feedback → back to animal for mechanism.”

“Parents and care providers of children and adults with autism often report that fever temporarily ameliorates the altered behavioral patterns of their charges. Emerging scientific data corroborates these reports, suggesting that triggering the body's fever response might offer promise as a therapeutic strategy for people with autism.”

“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts and certain cruciferous vegetables, exerts a wide range of beneficial effects in humans. Some of these effects are mediated by increased glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, to promote brain health.”

“Vascular dysfunction, the loss of normal endothelial tone and permeability of blood vessels, is a common feature of most forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. People who carry the APOE4 gene are at greater risk for vascular dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease.”

“Another is the GrimAge clock (named creatively for the Grim Reaper), which predicts lifespan and healthspan in units of years and tests whether potential lifestyle interventions may slow or reverse biological aging.”

“But what does the science say? In this Aliquot, Dr. Jed Fahey and I discuss the pros and cons of eating meat as well as the confounding factors that may influence the risks associated with meat consumption.”

“Across standardized risk reductions, the models associated one vigorous minute with roughly 4.1 moderate minutes for all-cause mortality, 7.8 minutes for cardiovascular mortality, 5.4 minutes for major cardiovascular events, and 9.4 minutes for incident type 2 diabetes.”
