A case for and against ketogenic diet
My first AI query of 50 recent articles I collected in NotebookLM The ketogenic diet (KD) is a dietary approach characterized by a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and moderate-protein intake, designed to induce a metabolic state of ketosis where the body utilizes ketone bodies as its primary energy source instead of carbohydrates.Here is a case for and…

Glycine, its relationship to l-serine
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40527450/ Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid obtained from food and synthesized in the body, primarily from l-serine. Glycine deficiency has been reported due to inadequate protein intake, malnutrition, late gestation, diabetes, insulin resistance, and increased exposure to xenobiotics. Because of the close links in glycine and l-serine metabolism mediated by serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT),…

Vitamin A increases risk of cancer; niacin decreases
Associations between vitamins intake and risk of cancer in United States adults: 2003 to 2016 national health and nutrition examination survey Conclusion: Vitamin A intake is positively correlated with the occurrence of tumors, while niacin intake is negatively correlated with the incidence of tumors. Further longitudinal studies are needed to verify these findings.Keywords: NHANES; cancer; niacin; vitamin…
