    Despite 10% Drop In Caloric Intake, Childhood Obesity On The Rise In The USA

    This new study is generating a lot of "controversy" as they like to call it in mainstream media.

    Scientists Still Have It Wrong On Obesity?

    This latest article from Guardian suggests that after 1980s, when many switched to a low-fat diet, the obesity epidemic took off. The article puts the blame on Sugar, but maybe that hypothesis is wrong too. Could it be PUFA instead? The sugar conspiracy | Ian Leslie

    The Anti-cortisol Effects Of Niacinamide

    This is yet another confirmation of my suspicion that sedative substances lower cortisol levels. Niacinamide is officially recognized as a GABA-A agonist, but apparently this is not the major reason behind its effect on cortisol. The enzyme that de-activates cortisol - 11b-HSD2 - is apparently...

    Low-dose Glycine As A Treatment For Menopause, Osteoporosis, Obesity

    This study is a great find IMO but unfortunately it uses the elevations in blood levels of estrogen as a reason to label glycine as estrogenic, which is wrong. Just like progesterone, glycine can trigger release of estrogen from tissues/cells and this elevates the blood levels while lowering it...
