Associations of fats and carbohydrate intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in 18 countries from five continents (PURE): a prospective cohort study - The Lancet

"Interpretation

High carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of total mortality, whereas total fat and individual types of fat were related to lower total mortality. Total fat and types of fat were not associated with cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular disease mortality, whereas saturated fat had an inverse association with stroke. Global dietary guidelines should be reconsidered in light of these findings."

"A group of 39 highly rated male members of the German Chess Federation were enlisted to play more than 3000 15-minute games against computers matched to their skill levels while taking modafinil, methylphenidate, or caffeine. The researchers reported that players taking modafinil and methylphenidate won more games overall, though they pondered their moves longer, causing them to sometimes lose on time."
"The positive association surprised Lieb. “Our hypothesis [had been] that it’s not possible to enhance subjects who are already working at top performance,” he said."

Press-pulse: a novel therapeutic strategy for the metabolic management of cancer | Nutrition & Metabolism | Full Text

https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12986-017-0178-2





"Conclusions

Optimization of dosing, timing, and scheduling of the press-pulse therapeutic strategy will facilitate the eradication of tumor cells with minimal patient toxicity. This therapeutic strategy can be used as a framework for the design of clinical trials for the non-toxic management of most cancers."
