    Biggest Study So Far Shows Aspirin Reduces Any Cancer Risk

    Nothing new, but the evidence from larger and larger trials continues to pile on. Unfortunately, these are all observational studies and focus on prevention and mortality. I don't know of any large trials for treating cancer with aspirin, and the few small ones that exist use very low dosages...

    Methylation Tied To Cancer (again)

    Ray has written about this and I have also posted studies in the past. I have noticed that in the last couple of years the message has been getting stronger - i.e. methylation is a big factor in cancer. Hopefully, the field will move away from the completely genetic explanation of cancer as more...

    Beyond Energy, Matter, Time And Space

    Not sure the title NYT chose has anything to do with the body of the article, but the article itself refers to several topics central to Peat's writings. Maybe mainstream science is about to experience a Renaissance of sorts?? One can only hope. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/22/scien ...

    Nsaid (aspirin) May Prevent Cancer Cachexia (wasting)

    Another study linking chronic inflammation to cancer and its signature muscle wasting condition known as cachexia. Yet another piece of the puzzle in how aspirin prevents and maybe even treats cancer. This study is also interesting b/c it found that that the current medical opinion vilifying fat...

    Cinnamon May Help SIBO

    Cinnamon has been promoted in alternative health circles for helping keep SIBO under control, and it appears there is some truth behind the claims. According to this study, in very low concentrations (easily achievable with food/supplements) cinnamon killed most bacteria associated with food...

    Stress Effects Are Inherited Up To 3 Generations Later

    The study in this case looked at starvation, which is a very common example of chronic stress in Peat-land. http://newsroom.cumc.columbia.edu/blog/ ... inherited/ "...Evidence from human famines and animal studies suggests that starvation can affect the health of descendants of famished...

    The Effects Of EMF On Health - It Directly Harms Metabolism

    I typically do not like posting links to social media sites, but Reddit is having an interesting discussion right now with one of the experts on EMF interactions with biological systems. Reddit userbase happens to be adamantly opposed to the idea that EMF can have detrimental effects, but I...

    Arsenic At Levels Found In Tap Water Causes Lung Cancer

    Methylation Levels Can Predict Breast Cancer Risk

    Related to my post on the BRCA genes and breast cancer risk, this study found out that overmethylation of certain genes associated with stem cell differentiation predicts breast cancer risk across the board and not just for women with faulty BRCA1 gene. In simpler words - Ray Peat seems to be...

    Why Ray Peat May Be Advising Against (strong) Spices

    Ray has written on the topic of de-ennervation and how it negatively affects the tissues where nerves die off or have reduced communication efficiency. He wrote that some spices, especially capsaicin, are known to cause de-ennervation and he tries to avoid those. This recent study seems to...

    "Some" Aggressive Cancers May Be Treatable By NSAID

    I find it odd that the article says "some" cancers even though JAK is upregulated in virtually all cancers. Also, instead of listing some common non-prescription drugs (NSAID) that are known JAK inhibitors they talk about proprietary drugs used for rheumatoid arthritis...

    Copper May Treat Als

    The study of course tries to talk about how they have discovered a "special" (and likely patented) method of copper delivery to the cell, but the main message is that boosting copper levels in the cells increased lifespan of ALS rodents by 26%. Since copper is the crucial compound for cytochrome...

    Self-awareness In Animals

    Ray has written about the similarity in consciousness and even intelligence between animals and man. This is a nice summary of the some of the arguments for that belief. https://philosophy.columbian.gwu.edu/si ... nimals.pdf

    Tongue Has A "sensing" Ability For Sugar

It has been known for a long time that the performance boosting effect is present even without people ingesting the sugar but simply gargling with it and spitting it out. This...

    Vitamin E In Canola, Other Oils Hurts Lungs

    A large new study advances our understanding of vitamin E and ties increasing consumption of supposedly healthy, vitamin E-rich oils -- canola, soybean and corn -- to the rising incidence of lung inflammation and, possibly, asthma. The good news: vitamin E in olive and sunflower oils improves...

    Having A Sense Of Purpose Increases Lifespan

    Not that this is of any surprise to anyone, but Ray has written often about the nervous system and the effects it has on the rest of the body. The nervous system (and by extension our body) is healthiest when metabolism is high AND when it perceives the world as purposeful, including the things...
