The sulfur microbial diet and cancer risk
The sulfur microbial diet is associated with increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer precursors Background & Aims:Diet may contribute to the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) before age 50 (early-onset CRC). Microbial metabolism of dietary sulfur produces hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gastrointestinal carcinogen that cannot be easily measured at scale. As a result, evidence…
dietary supplements and athletic performance review
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37462346/ Caffeine supplementation in doses between 3 and 6 mg/kg of body mass may improve jump height and sprint ability, particularly in female players, but individual response to caffeine must be considered. Creatine may improve sprint, agility, and in female players, jump performance. Protein supplementation can improve sprint and jump performance between matches, especially if…
Potassium and the Potassium/Sodium Ratio: Electrolytes Matter
Potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are two of the most important electrolytes in the body, playing a crucial role in nerve function, muscle contractions, heart health, and fluid balance. However, the balance between these two minerals—the potassium-to-sodium ratio (K/Na ratio)—is just as important as their individual levels. 1. The Importance of PotassiumA. Functions of Potassium…
