    In confirmation of Ray's stance against "aerobic" (endurance) exercise, this study showed that a very high percentage of top swimmers have confirmed asthma. The article also goes on to say that the asthma effects is seen on other endurance sports, further confirming Ray's views. What's stunning...

    Domination Is Linked To Chemical In The Brain - Serotonin

    http://www.nytimes.com/1983/09/27/scien ... brain.html Any thoughts on this? This article from 1983 claims that higher social status was associated with higher serotonin levels in the blood. It's amazing how much conflicting research there is. Also, just to provide an example in my life, my...

    Estrogen (and Bpa) Cause Infertility For Several Generations

    I guess everybody is getting a free dose of estrogen and BPA through the water we drink. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/0 ... tists-say/ "...In a study published in the journal Scientific Reports, U.S. Geological Survey researchers found that fish exposed to 17a- ethinylestradiol, also...

    More On The Wrong Theory Of Depression And Serotonin

    It seems like these articles are popping everywhere. I wonder if this trend continues and erodes sales of Prozac et al then what will the pharma industry come up with as next generation drugs. Also, does anybody go to jail for knowingly pushing SSRI drugs responsible for thousands of suicides? I...

    Even 25min Of Running May Be Too Much

    In confirmation of Ray's stance against endurance exercise, this latest study showed that performing as few as 3 weekly sessions of running each of them 25min long is enough to disturb the hormone balance heavily in favor of cortisol and induce a catabolic state...

    Onion And Garlic Combo Is Effective Against MRSA

    I saw this news today and immediately thought of the "thebigpeatowski" garlic treatment for stomach ailments. It looks like despite what most doctor's consider as a very mild bactericidal activity of either garlic or onion on their own, together the combination was very potent and destroyed MRSA...

    Loneliness / Isolation As Harmful As Obesity For Longevity

    A study that ties nicely with the earlier study I posted on "addiction" being caused by the same factors. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 160521.htm

    Electrical Fields, Not Dna, May Shape The Look Of An Organism

    Yet another confirmation of Peat's ideas and a revival of the studies in morphogenetic fields that were all the rage back in the 1920s. It remains to be seen if this will get enough traction to attract funding, but I think it is very promising and very encouraging to see NIH expressing interest...

    Brains Age Less Then Previously Thought

    According to this study most brain aging seems to be related to vascular pathologies and not neuronal death. High estrogen levels are implicated in many vascular pathologies, especially brain. The newest theories on MS are that is caused by leaky brain vessels and not "auto-immune" reactions...

    Gout May Protect From Alzheimers

    Again, as per Ray's writings, it appears uric acid is protective for the brain. It is already well-known that people with gout never develop conditions like MS and Lupus. http://www.science20.com/news_articles/ ... ase-153750 "...Gout appears to have a protective effect for the brain, possibly...

    Caffeine Increases Autophagy

    I think this is a very interesting article: http://www.anti-agingfirewalls.com/2013 ... s-aging-2/ It talks about possible health benefits of caffeine by increasing autophagy. I've heard many good things about autophagy, but not really from Ray Peat. I wonder what you guys think about this. A...

    Most Thyroid Nodules Remain Non-cancerous Even If They Grow

    A change will be made to the current recommendations of irradiating anything that looks like a nodule in your thyroid using X-rays and CT scans "just to make sure". http://www.healthline.com/health-news/m ... s-030315#1 "...Nodule growth is regarded as a possible predictor of malignancy,” said...

    Melanoma Needs Glutamine To Grow And Dies Without It

    In support of Ray's opinion on amino acids like glutamine and arginine fueling cancer growth, this study found that melanoma cancer needs glutamine for its growth and without a steady supply of glutamine the cancer dies. So, glutamine and arginine restriction / depletion seem to be viable...

    Resveratrol Apparently Is Not The Answer To The French "paradox"

    Yet another study, which shows that whatever the longevity benefits of wine and berries are, they are not due to resveratrol. Just thinking how many hundreds of millions went into "researching" and promoting this substance is just mind boggling. http://www.futurity.org/resveratrol-wine-heart/...

    Blocking Glycolysis May Be A Treatment For Lupus

    Yet another disease likely to be metabolic in origin. In an animal model scientists seemingly cured lupus by blocking glycolysis and also mitochondrial metabolism of specific immune system cells. Given that the drug used to block mitochondrial metabolism was metformin, it is yet another reason...

    Yet Again, Brain Inflammation Linked To Depression

    This is the first time I see a scientist propose officially that depression be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. I posted a study showing a human equivalent dosage of 500mg aspirin being a more effective antidepressant (in mice) than Prozac. I think the more important question is if...

    Girls Conceived Through Ivf May Have Impaired Metabolism

    The study was done in mice, but the scientists think this should apply to humans as well. Basically, IVF progeny has a problem metabolizing glucose according to this study. I think the issue is the lack of supportive environment in cases of IVF. The lack of a mother's organism to nourish and...
