“However, if high AGE levels accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic, driving many chronic diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, and kidney failure.”

“The authors noted that methods for measuring neutralizing antibody activity and recovery status varied widely among the studies they used to create the model, which may decrease its efficacy; however, early use of the model provided accurate results.”

“Monounsaturated fats are dietary fats found in plant foods, such as nuts, avocados, and vegetable oils, especially olive oil, which contains approximately 75 percent of the MUFA known as oleic acid.”

“The most common symptoms of infection from SARS-CoV2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and other respiratory system involvement. Recent evidence suggests that SARS-CoV2 can attack other organ systems, as well.”
