EMF radiation (electromagnetic radiation) exposure- Does 5G pose health risks?
Man-made sources of EMF radiation provide continuous low-level radiation. The situation can only get worse.
Vitamin D deficiency- The optimization strategies
With vitamin D deficiency we will suffer from a wide range of health issues even if we don’t have a directly visible bone disease.
Vitamin D deficiency- Risk Factors
There are only two vitamins that are not produced by plants, vitamin D, and the other would-be vitamin B12. Vitamin D deficiency is a real concern.
Vitamin D- More than just your bones
Vitamin D is not a vitamin. It is a prohormone, a steroid with a hormone-like activity that regulates about 3% of the human genome.
Glycogen depletion- How not to exercise
What happens when we exercise or go on a restrictive diet?
Exercise- Why exactly do we need it?
In the health community, exercise has almost a mythical status as one of the best things you can do for yourself except for avoidance of smoking.
Intermittent Fasting vs Calorie Restriction- Is there a difference?
There is a form of diet that is primarily designed for utilizing autophagy called intermittent fasting. To do a full-calorie restriction diet is a hard choice.
Longevity: The Rate of Living Theory
The higher the metabolism, the higher the oxidative damage, and the higher the cell division. Every time cell divide it clips telomere in half and our longevity
Calorie restriction, Autophagy, Longevity, and Muscle loss
We all want a substantial amount of muscle mass and fast metabolism so that we can eat more but autophagy is what is in line with evolutionary biology.
Coffee benefits– Not without the risks
Do we think caffeine is something good for our brain or bad or neutral?
What does the actual caffeine do?
Alcohol health risks- The “French paradox”, “the wine”, and “in moderation”

Acrylamide exposure- Chips, fries, and cancer
Acrylamide is classified as a Group 2A human carcinogen. In 2002 it was discovered in extremely high concentrations in potato chips and French fries.
Lectins- Paradox of the “Plant Paradox”
The paradox of the “Plant Paradox” is that people who eat more lectins (beans and whole grains) have less cancer.
Cooked Meat- The Mutagen in a Bite, Heterocyclic Amine Exposure
Heating of amino acids in the presence of creatine (cooked meat) creates mutagens known as Heterocyclic Amines (HCA).
Diabetes causes and saturated fat- The vegan argument
As the level of fat in the bloodstream rises the ability of the body to clear sugar drops. One of the diabetes causes is our maladaptation to a large fat intake
Diabetes causes and refined carbohydrates- The vegan argument
People believe that refined carbohydrates are associated with insulin spikes and are one of the diabetes causes. They are right. However, they are also wrong.
Lactose intolerance- 65% chance you have it
People of European descent can drink milk and the rest of the globe cannot. There is, however, a lot of substances in milk besides lactose that none of us can tolerate.
Obesity Risk Factors
What are the associated obesity risk factors? For all life on the planet Earth, except for us, food is not a choice.
Minnesota Starvation Experiment: Why dieting makes us fat. The Psychology of Hunger.
One of the first scientific studies on what hunger does to the mind was observed in a study remembered as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment performed by the University of Minnesota back in 1944.
Binge Eating and Hormonal Regulation: Emotional Hunger
Our entire evolution, we were like any other species on this planet, in constant hunger and in search of food. Overeating is an example of maladaptation.
Supernormal Stimuli- Binge Eating Disorder and Appetite Regulation
When we see a hamburger, it is supernormal stimuli. Primal urges affect our behavior forcing us into binge eating disorder.
Binge eating disorder- The psychology of hunger
In nature, there is no refined sugar or fat. Our brain had never been exposed to a combination of the two all at once forcing us into binge eating disorder.
Mediterranean diet- “Wonder” of olive oil
Marketed as a wonder of olive oil, the Mediterranean diet had nothing to do with any oil of any sort except in the measure that it can replace butter and lard.
Adventist Health Study- The vegan argument
Adventist Health Study showed that Seventh-day Adventists do have a measurable lower risk than other Americans for most of the Western diseases.
