Enlarged heart before and after thiamine treatment (B1), big difference after a short time
(1940)

always though that exercise induced enlarged heart was ,partly, due to (exercise-induced) thiamine deficiency

after 9 months of a fat-free diet

“we cannot avoid the conclusion that if true fats are essential for nutrition during growth the minimum necessary must be exceedingly small”

1920

“I think that experiments with vitamins, which can at least do no harm, ought to be performed here in order to ascertain if a deficiency of the latter is not the real primary cause of the disease”

omega 3 is not brain food

'In conclusion, maternal seafood consumption was positively associated with birth size, driven by lean fish intake, while supplementary n-3 intake was negatively associated with infant head circumference.'

This is kindly of a big deal

'In addition, head circumference tended to be 2.3 cm (95% CI: −0.0, 4.6 cm) larger when mothers consumed >3 glasses/d. Maternal milk consumption was not associated with length growth.'

Remember..

Good to see he dropped the fish oil

for exercise, see it as a healthy challenge

testosterone gets stimulated by healthy challenges, feel energized to work out, and increase testosterone

What was considered a high calcium diet in the 1960s, for osteoporosis

'A high calcium intake is achieved by an ample daily supply of milk and 2-4 g. of calcium lactate or gluconate thrice daily.'

'All of these observations are easiest to understand in terms of the suppression of cellular energy. Serotonin, like estrogen, lowers cellular ATP and interferes with oxidative metabolism.'

Surprisingly

'However, in a surprising new twist, the researchers found that low maternal cholesterol levels, which may be related to a woman's genetic makeup, diet or other health factors, also may lead to adverse birth outcomes, including premature birth and low birth weight.'

Cholesterol and head size

'Weight and head circumference were significantly more in the breastfed group at 14 weeks as well as at 6 months (P<0.001)...Breastfed babies have significantly higher TC and LDL-C compared to mixed fed babies in the first 6 months of life'

Following 45.000 men for 12 years

coffee and gout

'past 20 years, an increasing number of epidemiological and experimental studies have demonstrated the positive effects of coffee on chronic liver diseases. Coffee consumption has been inversely associated with the activity of liver enzymes .. including heavy drinkers.'

Remember..

'High BMI at 12 months combined with small head circumference was associated with substantially increased risk of violent offending (OR 4.2, 95% CI 2.6-6.8).'

The only amino acid that has ever been found to be carcinogenic is tryptophan. Its ability to mimic estrogen in promoting the release of prolactin is probably responsible.'
