Sugar inhibits three mitochondrial enzymes—AMP kinase, ACADL and CPT-1, all necessary for neurons to burn energy. No surprise sugar is linked to Alzheimer’s—it’s a chronic dose-dependent neurotoxin.

BREAKING::: The American College of Cardiology has just published a State-of-the-Art Review announcing their new stance on Saturated Fat.

LIMITING SATURATED FAT INTAKE IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE.

Your doctor needs to know...

Heartburn medicines called proton pump inhibitors (e.g. Prilosec, Nexium) are linked to dementia. New study shows they inhibit the enzyme that makes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Authors call for restrictions on use in elderly and dementia patients. https://t.co/czNcR6tpTj

Jordan Ministry of Health recommends limiting/avoiding sugars, simple carbs and starches , lists implementing a ketogenic diet as an option and introduces Intermittent Fasting benefits to help with Covid-19

1/ Wow. Stunning finding out of Boston. Researchers tested 408 homeless people for #SARS_COV_2. 147, or 36%, had the virus. BUT NEARLY ALL WERE ASYMPTOMATIC - only one had a fewer and two had shortness of breath.

Total and LDL cholesterol that was "above the recommended levels" was associated with substantially lower - 30 to 40% lower - mortality.

Study looked at nearly 120K people without CVD or diabetes at baseline, and age 50+

Vitamin D supplementation to prevent acute respiratory tract infections

In vitamin D deficient people, supplementation lowered risk to .30.

Another way to look at it: vitamin D deficiency more than triples risk of respiratory infections.

Only 8.3% of @American_Heart/ Amer. College Cardiology guidelines are "evidence based," as in, supported by multiple trials, a 2019 study says. Means >90% are non evidence-based. Something worth remembering when told to take a pill or cut down on sat fats. https://t.co/6GNIHPDjMc

Wow! Immune cells found to target a cancer-ubiquitous protein called MR1 that recognizes vitamin B2 derivatives. Could lead to pan-cancer immunotherapies & "vaccinations for cancer in all individuals." @NatImmunol https://t.co/fKNAfsmf70 Video🙏@asco #cancer #HealthTech #vaccines

Glucose increasingly implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Glucose comes from sugars, added or not. Also, all grains and even fruit turn to sugar in your blood. https://t.co/eVmyyHZNvH

#Fructose is a molecule best served in small doses. This review outlines the uniquely damaging effects of fructose on the liver, including its ability to cause liver #insulinresistance. And when the liver falls, the rest of the body soon follows. A rule: eat fruit, never drink it

[David Sinclair @davidasinclair]

Stunning paper finds mono-unsaturated fats, such as the ones made in our bodies and found in olive oil, activate the longevity enzyme SIRT1 - and do so exactly the same way resveratrol does. Authors suggest may explain the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet in @BlueZones.

Get your surgery scheduled for a Monday.

Surgeries done on a Friday had a 44% higher death rate, and on a weekend, 82% higher, compared to Monday.

#Autophagy (ATG) is considered a mechanism to help keep cells "young". If you want to activate ATG, you have two choices: keep #insulin low (no #insulinresistance) and/or #exercise. It's neat that exercise keeps ATG going even if insulin is high. https://t.co/y5aMTh6uZV

Coffee induces autophagy in vivo

This may explain coffee's association with better health.

It definitely explains why you don't need to avoid coffee when fasting.

@RDValerie inflammation will cause sympathetic stimulation. visceral fat and poor diet are there.
