    Strenuous Exercise Can Have The Same Effects As Sepsis

    Ray has mentioned numerous times how even a mild mechanical stress to the intestine can make it release serotonin and endotoxin. He has said that running is the worst of all exercises due to the leaky gut syndrome it causes and the ensuing "low grade sepsis". Well, it looks like he is right once...

    Social Anxiety Linked To High Serotonin, Not Low

    One by one, the arguments in favor of serotonin boosting for specific conditions are running out of steam. This study shows that people with social anxiety and phobia have too much serotonin, not too little. Also, the more serotonin they had the more anxious they felt. I wonder if the same claim...

    Salt Prevents Weight Gain On High Fat Diet

    In yet another confirmation of Ray's ideas, this study shows that mice on a high fat diet did not gain weight when supplemented with the extra amount of 4% salt in their diet. The 4% extra dietary salt is equivalent to about 30g of extra salt for a human per day. Peat said in one of his...

    Humans Generate Vitamin C Via Their Gut Microbes?

    It's been known for years that many B vitamins and also K2 can be generated by the gut microbiome. Now a study shows that vitamin C can also be created "down there". Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria can do it. http://datateca.unad.edu.co/contenidos/401585/Bacteria_as_vitamin_suppliers.pdf

    Overweight diabetes patients outlive slim ones

    In another confirmation of the "obesity paradox", this study found that overweight diabetes patients outlived slim diabetes patients, and had a lower risk of co-morbidities in general. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/ ... Z220150504 "...Patients with type-2 diabetes who are overweight...

    Sugar Is "addictive" Because Is Stops The Stress Response

    In a framework where doing things repeatedly because they benefit you is considered addiction, the conclusion of this study is not really surprising. But the good news is, Peat is right again. Sugar protects the brain from the destructive effects of cortisol. There is a clinical trial in Germany...

    Calcium "receptor" Antagonists May Be The Cure For Asthma

    I was a little disappointed that the study did not look into the link between serotonin and asthma, but recognizing the destructive mechanism of calcium excitotoxicity is still a step in the right direction. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/ ... rough.html "... Asthma could be cured...

    Babies Feel Pain Just Like Adults

    Ray is often critical of the tendency of modern science to consider living organisms in a hierarchy of "consciousness", with organisms lower in the hierarchy considered to be "less than fully alive" and certainly not able to experience the full gamut of what humans are capable of. Here is a...

    Cachexia Caused By Insulin Resistance

    The study was done with cancer but it probably applies to other conditions involving tissue wasting. Inability to burn sugar is what caused fat and muscle tissue to waste. This also matches Ray's views on why restricting glucose in cancer patients is pointless - i.e. the body will accelerate the...

    The Randle Effect In Action (human Study)

    This was a human study and it directly confirms Peat's views on what causes insulin resistance - elevated fatty acids, through the Randle effect, block oxidation of sugar. It would have been really helpful if the study looked at what happened after restoration of "normal" diet - i.e. how long...

    Vitamin A As A Powerful Treatment For Cancer

    The use of vitamin a for leukemia-type cancers is nothing new and has been considered first-line therapy for decades. However, this study found out that activated vitamin A (all-trans-retinoic-acid, ATRA) blocks multiple vital cancer development pathways (in many cancer types) and also...

    Safety And Efficacy Of Statins Deliberately Exaggerated

    Being fat in middle age protects against dementia and AD

    Another study that matches Ray's statements that it is less harmful to be overweight (and even obese) than to be in the "healthy" spectrum of the BMI that is currently being promoted as the main prevention for all diseases. One feature of obese and overweight people is that they retain much more...

    Dutch People Gained 20cm Of Height In Just 150 Years

    Maybe another confirmation of Peat ideas and epigenetics over genetics. Dutch people used to be among the shortest as recently as 150 years ago. Now, they are the tallest (on average). While the study makes the standard claim that a combination of genetics and environment probably caused this...

    Low-sugar substitutes linked to the epidemic of IBD / IBS

    The studies cited in this post match well with the "recent" news that dietary emulsifiers may be behind the dramatic increase of bowel diseases in the last 15 years. These studies not add things like maltodextrin and other low-sugar sweeteners to the mix of stuff to avoid. I think maltodextrin...
