“The authors found no convincing evidence that nicotinamide increased cancer risk, which helps address prior theoretical concerns. Although the study used a large clinical dataset and careful matching, it was observational, not a randomized trial.”

“Chronic inflammation (originating from the gut and other cells in the body), higher IGF-1, glucose, and insulin levels have all been identified to play a role in the obesity-cancer link. If you are one of the 69% of U.S. adults that are overweight/obese...”

“These results suggest that rapamycin's effect on longevity can vary considerably based on the study protocol.. mTOR and cancer suppression When interpreting these studies, an important aspect to consider is the natural occurrence of cancer in mice.”

“Two sessions of resistance exercise per week — a total of 50 minutes of activity — improves depression symptoms in young adults. Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity and Cancer Incidence Among Nonexercising Adults: The UK Biobank Accelerometry Study.”

“EPA and DHA also produce specialized pro-resolving mediators such as resolvins, protectins, and maresins. These mechanisms support biological plausibility; they do not by themselves prove prevention of dementia, cancer, or aging.”

“In addition, a meta-analysis of 47 studies found that metformin use reduced overall cancer incidence by 31 percent and cancer death by 34 percent. Mechanistic studies in rodent models and human cancer cell lines suggest that metformin's anti-cancer properties may be related to the drug's capacity to reduce insulin levels, improve insulin sensitivity, decrease IGF-1 signaling, and activate AMPK.”

“Multiple in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that high dose vitamin C can assist in cancer cell death primarily due to the formation of hydrogen peroxide. Some evidence suggests that vitamin C generates hydrogen peroxide by interacting with high levels of iron found in cancer cells.”

“These results are hypothesis-generating, not proof that a multivitamin slows aging or prevents disease. COSMOS Cancer Study Multivitamins and mortality When it comes to major diseases and mortality, the data aren’t as clear or convincing.”

“The PD-1 antibody prevents cancer cells from escaping immune surveillance. Many cancer cells acquire mutations that allow them to survive when they would have otherwise been killed by immune cells.”
