“In a separate analysis of seven intervention trials involving people with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c fell by about 0.71 percentage points, total cholesterol by 23 mg/dL, and LDL cholesterol by 22 mg/dL.”

“For people concerned about LDL cholesterol, paper-filtered or instant coffee offers a practical way to retain many coffee polyphenols while reducing diterpene exposure. The machine and container also matter.”

“These transient stressors induce the expression of genes that process inflammatory molecules. In this clip, Tim Ferriss and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss acute versus chronic inflammation and how supplemental antioxidants can negate some of the benefits of exercise.”

“Moreover, taking mega doses (i.e. 400 IU/day) of alpha tocopherol has the unintended side-effect of actually depleting tissue levels of another important form of vitamin E that plays an anti-inflammatory role, known as gamma tocopherol.”

“However, exercising while taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) may blunt the initial rush of acute inflammation and negate some of the long term health effects of exercise.”

“Unlike antibody treatments that target the PCSK9 protein (an important regulator of blood cholesterol levels), which are very expensive, base editing could deliver permanent protection from hypercholesterolemia with just one dose.”

“In a secondary analysis of 72 men, the combined concentration of six PFAS declined by about 8 percent within the oat beta-glucan group over four weeks, while the study did not distinguish the magnitude of change from the control group.”

“The increased production of these genes is sustained over time – typically a period of days – so frequent, consistent consumption of foods and supplements that provide sulforaphane provides optimal exposure.”

“A small randomized trial in trained athletes found that 20 milligrams per day for two weeks increased total antioxidant capacity and glutathione peroxidase and reduced post-training DNA damage versus placebo; it did not test performance or long-term adaptation.”
