Physical & Cognitive Exercise Are Similarly Effective DNA Protectors & Antioxidant Boosters in Elderly Men & Women

Written by | published on

Brain builders and muscle builders are similarly effective DNA protectors in the elderly. As a SuppVersity reader you won't be surprised to hear that Bernhard Franzke and his colleagues from the University of Vienna were able to confirm that resistance training can improve the resistance of human DNA to H2O2 damage in institutionalised elderly. What may be news to you, though, is that very similar effects can be achieved by cognitive training in form of coordinative or cognitive tasks that were performed only two times per week by the 105 institutionalised elderly women and men (aged 65–98 years) the scientists recruited from five different senior residences in the area of Vienna (Franzke. 2014). DNA damage is obviously important, maintaining optimal lean mass levels is important, too Tri- or Multi-Set Training for Body Recomp.? Alternating Squat & Blood Pressure - Productive?

Rodent Study: GMO Soybean Oil is Pro-Inflammatory & Induces DNA Damage! Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the Rescue!

GMO Soybean oil? Better for cars only. I am pretty sure there will be rebuttals to the results of this study... although, it's published in the OpenSource journal Nutrients and was conducted by scientists from Saudi Arabia and the UK who probably don't have the media-connections the scientists who conducted the GMO-corn study back in the day had. Against that background it's unlikely that non- SuppVersity -readers will even hear about the paper El-Kholy et al. published in the June edition of Nutrients (El-Kohly. 2014) -- Well, that is - unless you spread the word, obviously ;-) You better take creatine than ecdysteroids if you want to build muscle Foods, not Macros Count!

Here it is: Scientific evidence caffeine is the among the healthiest addictions known to man. It has been a while since the last official "Coffee Lovin'"-article at the SuppVersity was published. Luckily, scientists all over the world appear to be similarly hooked to the brownish cult drink as millions of coffee concessionaires all around the world - including those who live in Vienna, the city, where the data I am about to present in today's SuppVersity article originated from. If you take a look at the study design, you will see that we are dealing with a five-months study with three four-week washout periods, a crossover and two different types of coffee that was tested on two groups.

Sucralose, Carcinogen or Sweet Relief? Part III: DNA Breaks + Drug & Hormone Interactions | Sucralose, White Death?

Written by | published on

Fearmongering fake, or true biohazard. This is the life-or-death- question this last installment of the sucralose trilogy will have to answer. It's time for the third and last installment of the SuppVersity sucralose review trilogy. Looking back at the list of issues in the first installment of this series, it appears as if the one thing that was still left to discuss are the mutagenic, pro-carcinogenic and tissue damaging effects of sucralose and its potentially endocrine disrupting metabolic / thermic byproducts. It goes without saying that the previously discussed and largely rebutted effects on blood glucose management, body weight gain and even the balance of your gut microbiome would be hardly significant, if today's analysis confirms that the use of Splenda© & Co was linked to direct mutagenic, carcinogenic or general toxic effects. Put your hazard suits on, folks! It's obvious that I got carried away by my imagination, when I wrote this subheading, b...

Does the Usefulness of Vitamin E Supplementation Depend on Your Activity Level? Profound Decreases in Baseline and Peak Exercise Induced DNA Damage Would Suggest So

Written by | published on

If you are an athlete, let's say a competitive rower who trains 3+h per day, it appears as if 400IU of vitamin E would be nothing, but beneficial. If you are a couch potato, though, even that may hamper the small hormetic response you get from taking the stairs once a week ;-) I don't know if you do remember, but it is actually not all too long ago that vitamin E was what vitamin D is known: The highly celebrated non-pharmacological savior of the ailing human race. Cancer? Heart disease? Diabetes? Alpha-tocopherol, which proved to be the most potent anti-oxidant in the tocopherol family, would solve all your problems and with its ability to "scavenge" the bad "free radicals" (sounds like a story from the Brother's Grimm, doesn't it?) it would also prolong your life expectancy. After all, those mischievous reactive oxygen species were the primary drivers of the aging process... well, today we know better. Supplemental vitamin E alone does neither ...
