A diet consisting of milk, orange juice, guavas, cheese, and some eggs, liver, and oysters, with aspirin would be protective against the spread of the tumor.” -Ray Peat, PhD Free Radic Res. 2013 Oct;47(10):793-803. doi: […]

One of the essential protective functions that decline with aging is the liver’s ability to detoxify chemicals, by combining them by glucuronic acid, making them water soluble so that they can be excreted in the urine. The liver (and also the instestines and stomach) efficiently process DHA by glucuronidation. -Ray Peat, PhD Drug Metab Dispos. [...]

Growth hormone clearly causes edema, and this is probably involved in the pathological processes that it can produce. -Ray Peat, PhD J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1991 Apr;72(4):768-72.

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 [...]
