Proc Soc Exp Biol Med. 1986 Dec;183(3):299-310. Relationship between dietary fiber and cancer: metabolic, physiologic, and cellular mechanisms. Jacobs LR. The relationships between fiber consumption and human cancer rates have been examined, together with an analysis of the effects of individual dietary fibers on the experimental induction of large bowel cancer. The human epidemiology indicates [...]

Ann Nutr Aliment. 1975;29(4):305-12. [Effects of administering diets with starch or sucrose basis on certain parameters of calcium metabolism in the young, growing rat]. [Article in French] Artus M. The important role of many carbohydrates on calcium metabolism has been demonstrated by FOURNIER and DUPUIS. Starch, however, neither influences the absorption nor the retention of [...]
In adults, prostaglandins are known to be involved in many of the harmful effects of inflammation. They are formed from the polyunsaturated fats, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, which we are unable to synthesize ourselves, so the adult’s exposure to the prostaglandins is influenced by diet. -Ray Peat, PhD Adv Shock Res. 1981;6:83-91. Implications for [...]
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY AND OCCUPATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY Volume 57, Number 1, 45-48, DOI: 10.1007/BF00691236 Induced metabolic alkalosis and its effects on 400-m racing time Jo Goldfinch, Lars Mc Naughton and Peter Davies Six trained male athletes who competed regularly in 400 metre races, were studied under control, alkalotic (NaHCO3) and placebo (CaCO3) conditions to [...]
Source Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fat. (Photo by Splat Worldwide) While the exact role AGEs play in aging is still unclear, it seems that reducing their accumulation in the body is a useful goal. And if for no other reason, how about being superficial: liver spots, for example, are a visible sign of AGEs in [...]
The choice of foods which have less unsaturated fat tends to reinforce the achievements of evolution. -Ray Peat, PhD The discoveries listed in the studies below were made by the same researcher (George Burr) who discovered the “essential fatty acids.” With a different perspective, we can conclude that the “EFA” lower the metabolic rate of [...]
A crucial enzyme in the mitochondrion is cytochrome oxidase, which reacts directly with oxygen, completing (or beginning) the process of chemical respiration. It is this enzyme (which is most sensitive to cyanide) which appears to be a “choke point” for energy production in various situations. Learning how to preserve and promote the activity of this [...]
Alcohol and Alcoholism (2000) 35 (5): 417-423. THE EFFECTS OF MODERATE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ON FEMALE HORMONE LEVELS AND REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION Studies that have investigated the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on the level of oestrogens and progesterone in both pre- and post-menopausal women are reviewed. It is concluded that several lines of evidence point to [...]
