Well SupportedExcessive lipolysis and broken fat cells, potentially caused by polyunsaturated fatty acid breakdown products like linoleic acid, can lead to insulin resistance.Well SupportedA fasting insulin level below 5 micro IU/mL is considered healthy.Well SupportedSunlight provides benefits beyond vitamin D production, such as endorphins and nitric oxide.Well SupportedThe drug rimonabant, a CB1 receptor antagonist, was effective at reversing obesity and diabetes by affecting the cannabinoid receptor.Well Supported

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.

Fruits and honey do not cause the same negative effects on gut dysbiosis, LPS levels, inflammation, and insulin resistance as refined sugars.

Well SupportedVisceral fat around the organs is particularly harmful and indicates metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and insulin resistance.

Partially SupportedThe CB1 receptor is activated by breakdown products of linoleic acid, which can influence satiety and lead to overeating.

Not SupportedMainstream sunscreens contain ingredients found in human plasma that are potentially carcinogenic and may act as hormone disruptors.

Partially SupportedAndrosterone is a real androgen with approximately 1/7th the energetic activity of testosterone and may function as a pheromone.

Partially SupportedGenital exposure to ultraviolet radiation increases androsterone levels more than chest and back irradiation.

Well SupportedVisceral fat accumulation, rather than subcutaneous fat, is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk.

Partially SupportedA diet high in seed oils and processed sugars, along with alcohol consumption, can increase visceral adipose tissue and cardiovascular risk.

Not SupportedSunscreens with artificial fragrances should not be used as their compounds are absorbed and circulate in the body.

Not SupportedSunscreen contains xenoestrogen compounds that can negatively affect the thyroid.

Well SupportedSunlight exposure provides benefits.

Partially SupportedBreakdown products of linoleic acid can affect the cannabinoid system.

Not SupportedExposure to ultraviolet light improves male hormones, an effect that cannot be replicated with a vitamin D pill.

Partially SupportedMesenteric adipose tissue inflammation is strongly related to metabolic complications of obesity, with adipocyte size and crown-like structures linked to insulin resistance.

Partially SupportedElon Musk's fasting insulin is likely above 10 micro IU/mL, indicating insulin resistance.

Partially SupportedTreating abdominal obesity and excess visceral adipose tissue can improve LDL particle size, insulin levels, glucose tolerance, C-reactive protein, and adiponectin levels.

Partially SupportedInflammatory characteristics of different abdominal adipose tissue depots relate differently to metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Partially SupportedSubclinical inflammation from visceral adipose tissue links obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular complications.

Partially SupportedMesenteric adipose tissue adipocyte size was associated with a 79% higher odds of having metabolic syndrome.

Partially SupportedIncreasing visceral fat area may protect against lipotoxicity by serving as a storage site.

Partially SupportedGrowing and breaking fat cells trigger insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation.

Partially SupportedGynecomastia in obese individuals can occur due to testosterone conversion to estrogens in fat tissue.

Partially SupportedIncreased inflammation and immune cell infiltration into visceral fat occur as people become more viscerally fat.
