The fraud unravels - statins cause, not prevent heart disease (CVD)
While the news that the statin fraud is finally being exposed is certainly good, it is sad that it took so many decades to admit to something so biochemically obvious. Namely, since statins interfere with the synthesis of mevalonic acid, as a consequence they also inhibit the synthesis of the...- haidut

LipOdd - Liquid Product With Odd-Chain Saturated Fats (SFA)
More than a decade ago, when I was just beginning my exploration of bioenergetics, one of the first indications that Ray's writings were onto something when it came to SFA vs. PUFA was the fact that while mainstream medicine ruthlessly bashed SFA in general and promoted PUFA, virtually very... -

Cortisol stimulates its own synthesis (peripherally), drives obesity/diabetes/CVD

Raising DHT levels even only in the brain reverses systemic atherosclerosis

Niacinamide may lower blood pressure in humans by raising NAD+

Vitamin D may prevent atrial fibrillation (afib)
Some good news to all the people with this condition.

Low androgens, not low estrogens, linked to heart disease in aging women

Keto diet linked to higher risk of heart disease (CVD) and stroke

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
