“The ease of implementing and following a ketogenic diet varies from person to person, depending on several factors, including fitness level, disease state, and lifestyle. The gold standard to determine whether someone has achieved a state of nutritional ketosis is to measure blood ketone levels.”

“Nutritional ketosis, achieved by following a high fat, low carbohydrate diet, has therapeutic effects for a broad range of neurological disorders, particularly seizures. To aid with his research in this area, Dr. D'Agostino is developing ketone supplements – ketone esters and ketone mineral salts.”

“The “Big Mac effect”, a colloquial term coined by Ronald Krauss, refers to this negative impact, which may become the focus of a full-fledged nutritional research study once funding is available.”

“Dr. Elinav's work with The Personalized Nutrition Program revealed that individualized dietary recommendations improve postprandial blood glucose levels. A second trial, called PREDICT, showed that microbial and host factors could predict a person's triglyceride levels.”

“This highlights the role of adequate nutrition throughout the lifespan and supports the "micronutrient triage theory" – the idea that the body prioritizes the utilization of micronutrients for metabolic pathways needed for survival and reproduction over those used for long-term health.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may provide protection against chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, and may be useful in treating the symptoms of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or autism, especially in developing countries.”
