“Patients assigned to supervised exercise during neoadjuvant chemoradiation, followed by continued activity before surgery, were more likely to achieve a complete or near-complete pathological response than those receiving usual care.”

“A meta-analysis showed that men and women achieved similar increases in muscle with resistance training, despite men having higher testosterone levels. While daily fluctuations in testosterone do not drive muscle protein synthesis, supraphysiological steroid doses are anabolic.”

“In a 12-week randomized trial of 291 adults living in a region of China with substantial air pollution, a broccoli-sprout beverage increased urinary excretion of a benzene metabolite by 61 percent and an acrolein metabolite by 23 percent.”

“Although many supplement manufacturers do not take steps to preserve the integrity of their products and some have made misleading claims about their products' efficacy, a few reputable manufacturers produce quality supplements that have been used in clinical trials.”

“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts and certain cruciferous vegetables, exerts a wide range of beneficial effects in humans. Some of these effects are mediated by increased glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, to promote brain health.”

“Many testosterone boosting agents are on the market, but Dr. Phillips states they are ineffective, and it's better to focus on resistance exercise. In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips outlines steroid biochemistry and why he thinks testosterone boosters don't work.”

“an 11–54% lower risk of oral, pharynx, colon, prostate cancer and melanoma. Mechanistically, coffee actively protects cells by reducing DNA damage, specifically DNA double-strand breaks, which are particularly damaging and cancer-promoting.”

“Additionally, we also discuss the important role magnesium plays in preventing random mutations. "Men with the highest quartile of magnesium levels have a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality and a 50% decrease in deaths from cancer.".”

“However, in excess these hormones may be drivers of certain cancers. In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses how growth hormone promotes collagen synthesis and how this might relate to muscle strength.”

“Consuming sufficient protein is essential for muscle growth and maintenance. Emphasis on specific amino acids within protein, particularly the branched-chain amino acids, probably isn't necessary unless you're an elite athlete or an older adult.”
