    Stress increases weight gain by slowing down metabolism

    Another confirmation of Peat's quote on the front page about stress-metabolism connection. Some other interesting "findings" as well - i.e. saturated fat is..gasp..not bad for us! It is stress that ruins us. http://guardianlv.com/2014/07/stress-in ... -suggests/ "...The women who recorded...

    Glycine Increases Aspirin Absorption

    Glycine is known to protect the gastric mucosa against any potential irritation by aspirin and other known irritants like alcohol and phosphoric acid. According to this study, glycine increases aspirin absorption 3-fold and as such people having issues with high doses aspirin can reduce their...

    Aspirin Is An Anti-depressant As Effective As Pharma Drugs

    According to this study, aspirin in human equivalent doses of 250mg-500mg (maybe even higher given the administration was intraperrinoteal) is as affective as pharmacological antidepressants. Effects of aspirin on immobile behavior and endocrine and immune changes in the forced swimming test...

    Autistic Children Have Increased Incidence Of Asthma

    Another study implicating serotonin in the development of autism. The causative role of serotonin in asthma is well known and is one of the reasons why drugs like tianeptine are so effective for asthma. The fact that asthma and autism are more likely to co-occur makes the serotonin-autism...

    NO Causes Parkinson (PD)

    The study used a common PD rodent model, and was bases on the assumption that NO causes PD. So, another point for Ray. The scientists also used Ceylon cinnamon (as opposed to the cheap and toxic ground cinnamon) to reverse the disease progression. The dosage was equivalent to about 500mg-600mg...

    Anti-histamines may be therapeutic in cancer

    This study is all the rage this week on a number of health forums. Peatarians should not find it surprising, but it gives even more credibility to Ray's recommendations and especially for cyproheptadine, which is both anti-histamine and anti-cholinergic. Theanine is also a strong anti-histamine...

    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...

    Estrogen is the cause of breast cancer

    Both good and sad news here. The good news is that Ray has been proven correct again, and the bad ones is that many women permanently disfigure themselves by cutting their breasts off due to medicine's ignorance. It quickly becomes clear (to anyone with some time to research the topic) that...

    Aspirin cuts pancreatic cancer risk

    "In a five-year study, published online in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, researchers compared aspirin use in 362 pancreatic cancer patients with 690 randomly chosen controls. Participants were asked about past and present regular use of aspirin, defined as at least once a week...

    Glycine - A "novel" Antiinflammatory Agent

    The study is a good review on the many good properties of glycine, but specifically its use for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions. One of the new things that I learned from this study is that glycine acts as a calcium blocking agent, so it should be good for a variety of conditions...

    Glycine is anticatabolic

    The study was done in a cancer model, but it should apply to any situation characterised by a catabolic muscle state - i.e. overtraining, starvaton, shock, estrogen-dominance, etc. In addition, in this study glycine also inhibited tumor growth while citirulline (which is a metabolite of...

    100 Yr-old Metabolism Drug Reverses Autism Symptoms

    ...in rats for 5 weeks. http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-me ... ptoms-mice I've long thought that autism and other brain states were symptoms of a larger metabolic issue. This study suggests that perhaps it is. I'd love to here Ray's thoughts on it.

    Potential Treatment For Autism

    The latest study confirming autism as a metabolic/mitochondrial dysfunction. It also suggests potential therapy - purinergic receptor antagonists. I am not sure Peat will be in favor of that drug given his ideas on the benefits of the purines, but as long as the theory behind autism moves away...

    Estrogen May Be The Main Driver Of Western World Obesity

    The fancier name these days is xenoestrogens, and they are everywhere around us as I posted in another thread. The message seems to be getting stronger in mainstream media that simply overeating is probably not the main cause of obesity. Most of the xenoestrogens bind to both the thyroid...

    High Protein Intake Increases Muscle Mass Even W/o Training

    We know that Ray recommends 80g+ of protein a day and says that ~120g should be enough even for the most active individuals. This study looked at what happens when you increase protein intake even more. There were 2 groups. The "normal" intake group consumed ~120g of protein a day and the high...

    Higher Muscle Mass Extends Life Expectancy

    People with more muscle mass also have higher metabolism. Even though the study did not make the connection between muscle mass and metabolism, it strengthens Ray's point that resistance exercise (only the concentric portion) is very protective. http://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-934 ...

    Fasting / Dieting Leads To Obesity

    In direct contradiction to outfits like Weight Watchers, Warrior Diet, etc this study shows that chronic dieting and calorie restriction leads to obesity. Most of these "expert" protocols talk about "leptin sensitization". As the study points out, elevated leptin is actually one of the major...

    Even protein distribution in meals is healthier than a bolus

    This may sound rather obvious, but until at least 2010 the consensus "expert" opinion was that protein was protein no matter how and when you consume it. In fact, some "nutritionists" were advocating eating most of the protein at night. A high dose of protein will drastically lower blood sugar...

    Improving mitochondrial function may treat PTSD

    The study actually does not say that directly, but I am making the prediction based on other information I have learned over the years, and I am posting the studies that back it up. Here is the study that talks about blood pressure drugs in the categories ACE and ARB help PTSD...
