“In this clip, Bruce Ames explains how vitamin D functions as both a vitamin and a hormone. As a hormone, it controls thousands of genes in the human body. Bruce says that while darker skin color protects you from the sun, it also decreases the production of vitamin D.”

“Unlike the subcutaneous fat beneath the skin, it is metabolically active and closely linked to inflammatory and metabolic signals. Studies using CT imaging associate higher visceral fat with insulin resistance and increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality.”

“Three COSMOS cognitive substudies found small improvements in global cognition and episodic memory among older adults who received a standard multivitamin. Vitamin D supplementation can help correct low vitamin D status, which is influenced by sun exposure, skin pigmentation, season, latitude, and other factors.”

“Vitamin D is Dr. Patrick's second priority because sun-derived production varies with age, skin pigmentation, latitude, clothing, and sunscreen use. Her third choice, sulforaphane, is formed from glucoraphanin in cruciferous vegetables and activates NRF2-regulated cellular defense pathways.”

“She discusses reverse-osmosis filtration, household dust, food packaging, and washing produce while acknowledging that exposure cannot be eliminated. She also describes limited sweat excretion of BPA and uncertainty about skin reabsorption after sauna.”

“The participants exhibited fewer senescent cells in the blood, skin, and fat tissues. These preliminary findings demonstrate for the first time that senolytic drugs, including quercetin, can decrease senescent cells in humans.”

“Extensive epidemiological research shows significant reductions in cancer risks among coffee drinkers, especially for liver, endometrial, and skin cancers. Each additional cup daily correlates with: a 15–20% lower risk of liver cancer risk.”

“A separate study found brominated flame retardants in some black plastic kitchen utensils made with recycled electronic waste and measured transfer into hot cooking oil. Thermal paper receipts can also transfer bisphenols through the skin.”

“The immunotherapy cocktail consists of an antibody (PD-1) that prevents melanoma cells from escaping immune surveillance and another antibody (CTLA-4) which enhance the ability of immune cells to kill cancer cells.”
