Also see: Thumbs Up: Fructose “Orange juice contains naringenin which is effective against melanoma, and guavas contain apigenin, also effective. 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: […]

Omega -3 Fats Lower Endurance

The least stable n-3 fats which accumulate with age and gradually reduce energy production also have their short term effects on endurance. Endurance was much lower in rats fed a high n-3 fat dit, and the effect persisted even after 6 weeks on a standard diet (Ayre and Hulbert, 1997). -Ray Peat, PhD Lipids. 1997 [...]

During the progression of certain degenerative conditions, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, mitochondria are a source of increased free-radical generation and exhibit declines in respiratory function(s). It has therefore been suggested that [...]
