“They fed mice a diet providing 10 percent glucose by weight (similar to the sugar content of sugar-sweetened soda) or a normal diet for one week prior to the development of colitis. Mice on the high glucose diet exhibited worse colitis severity, including more diarrhea and weight loss.”

“This exciting research may contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease vaccines in humans. Link to full publication. Learn more about what causes Alzheimer’s disease from expert Dr. Dale Bredesen in this clip from the FoundMyFitness podcast.”

“Now, a new study reports that a particular class of HMOs may be uniquely crucial – at least when it comes to cognitive development. The researchers conducted their study in piglets, whose anatomical and cognitive development resembles that of human children.”

“Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to the development of obesity and diabetes by providing large quantities of empty calories and spiking blood glucose and insulin levels due to the rapid absorption of sugar.”

“Thanks to their estrogen levels, female rats are at least 30 percent more sensitive than males to the pain-relieving qualities of THC -- the key active ingredient in cannabis, research shows. Females also develop tolerance to THC more quickly.”

“Those who took benzodiazepines for six months had an almost double risk of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The relationship worked in a dose-dependent manner, meaning that the longer a person took the medications or the higher the dose, the higher the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.”

“"The blood test included a selection of 15 measures of immune and hormonal system imbalances as well as evidence of oxidative stress," explained a corresponding author of the study.”

“The researchers found that correcting less than half of the heart muscle cells was enough to rescue cardiac function to near-normal levels in the heart tissue. Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to degeneration of skeletal and heart muscles.”

“Extensive research indicates creatine supplementation is safe for children and adolescents. Studies consistently demonstrate improvements in muscle strength, agility, coordination, and cognition without adverse effects on growth or development.”
