The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
TNF-alpha and IL six are inflammatory cytokines. These are chemicals that exist in your body, and that are released from cells when there is damage or kind of a systemic stress; when your system is in duress. And in the short-term, they can be beneficial. They can call in signals for wound healing and repair of cells, et cetera, but you don't want TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels to be too high, and you don't want those levels to be up for too long.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
