Also See: Fat Tissue and Aging – Increased Estrogen Estrogen Levels Increase with Age A recent study (Toth, et al., 2000) shows that, at least in women, estrogen is closely associated with the general loss of fat-free tissue with aging. This shows a close association between the generalized atrophy of aging and the amount of [...]

Also see: Master List – Ray Peat, PhD Interviews In this video, Dr. Ray Peat discusses his alternative views on carbon dioxide as it relates to Biology. In his view, the health of the organism is governed by the stability and coherent functioning of its cells and tissues. Carbon dioxide, through a variety of biochemical [...]
I think far too little attention is being given to the effects of abnormal and stressful growth conditions on the plants’ natural defense systems. Plants normally synthesize some toxins and inhibitors of digestive enzymes to discourage attacks by bacteria, fungi, insects, and other predators. When a plant is injured or otherwise stressed, it produces more [...]

Also see: Autoimmunity and Intestinal Flora Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine can be caused by hypothyroidism (Lauritano, et al., 2007), and the substances produced by these bacteria can damage the lining of the small intestine, causing the loss of lactase enzymes (Walshe, et al., 1990). -Ray Peat, PhD from “Milk in context: allergies, ecology, [...]
