“People who consume alcohol or follow a vegetarian diet might require more zinc. Studies indicate that mild zinc deficiency can decrease immune function, including dysfunctional cytokine production in T cells and absence of CD4+ T cell regeneration.”

“"We think that less than 5 percent overall of breast cancers are the result of genetic factors. And more like 65 percent to 75 percent are the result of lifestyle factors, including obesity, diet, physical activity, and smoking." - Dr. Ruth Patterson.”

“In this FoundMyFitness solo episode excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick uses Dr. Bruce Ames's triage theory to explain why marginal magnesium intake may matter long before a classic deficiency appears.”

“A young-adult biomarker study found that 87% had serum alpha-tocopherol below a proposed adequacy threshold, but only 1% met its clinical-deficiency definition. These findings support attention to diet quality without implying that nearly everyone has overt disease.”

“Animal studies show omega-3 fatty acids augment muscle development: Steers fed omega-3s showed improved amino acid efficiency and activated pathways involved in muscle growth. Similarly, pigs given a high omega-3 diet exhibited larger muscles and markers of improved amino acid absorption and use.”
