HUMAN STUDY: Vitamin B3 ups muscle/bone mass/strength, lowers fat, improves glucose control
The study is epidemiological and it did not distinguish between the various forms of vitamin B3 available through the diet or supplements. However, it was well-controlled and its findings match the known biochemical effects of vitamin B3, which the study authors cite themselves as the likely...- haidut

Obesity linked to mitochondrial dysfunction in GI tract, treatable by fat restriction
I think the claim that obesity can be caused by lower metabolism is not something contentious, even though mainstream medicine will claim that it only happens in clinical hypothyroidism.

Obesity is estrogen-driven; Chronic fasting burns mostly muscle, not fat
I wanted to do a quick post on this, as this topic is one of the most discussed in both medicine and society in general. Namely, whether fasting is a good and healthy approach to weight loss, which is largely determined by whether the weight we lose during fasting is mostly fat or muscle. Even...- haidut

Fat increases estrogen synthesis, even in menopausal females; glucose lowers it
A fascinating study, which provides a number of important findings and insights.

Androgens, glucocorticoids are antagonistic - former inhibit, latter promote fat gain
