566. Recent Health Studies

Dr. Martin discusses some recent studies he found interesting. He looks at studies showing a connection between loneliness and cancer, how fructose causes inflammation in the brain, studies on vitamin D and K2… and even a study on how coffee can be a fat buster! There have been a lot of unintended consequences with COVID-19. One of them is the diagnosing of cancer has been delayed for many. Another consequence is loneliness. When we are lonely, our bodies are stressed. When we are stressed, our bodies create cortisol and this can affect our immune system.  Dr. Martin also talks about the dangers of inflammation in our brains, and how high fructose corn syrup is contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidization of the hippocampus; our memory centre of the brain. He cautions those who are metabolically unwell to especially avoid sugar. Tune into today’s podcast to hear more about these interesting studies!
