The ROS Hypothesis of Obesity
A reassessment of insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance
The ROS hypothesis of obesity posits that excessive insulin sensitivity—driven by high intake of polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid—is a primary cause of fat gain, not insulin resistance as traditionally believed. This theory argues that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in signaling cells to limit insulin’s effects and prevent excessive nutrient storage. Polyunsaturated fats reduce ROS generation, weakening this signal and promoting fat accumulation, while saturated fats generate more ROS and help regulate insulin signaling. As such, the modern shift toward polyunsaturated fats may have inadvertently fueled the obesity epidemic. Dietary strategies to counter this include reducing linoleic acid, increasing saturated fat intake, or adopting low-carb or ketogenic diets to minimize insulin signaling altogether.

The Lifting Shoulder
Should the shoulder remain fixed or should it elevate, moving toward the ear, during an overhead lift?
"To answer the question regarding the shoulder’s role in overhead lifting, we want to look to the methods and techniques of athletes who lift or support substantial loads overhead in the normal course of their sport; evaluate those methods against any observed, trusted and acknowledged principles of human performance; and conduct local experimentation, where it is ethical and sensible to do so. We evaluate methods experientially, theoretically and clinically, but each step has an empirical nature. Even our theories have utility only insofar as they are consistent with observation."

Aimed specifically at childhood chronic diseases, Thursday's report takes on diet, environmental chemicals, inactivity, and overmedication.
"The American food system is safe but could be healthier. Most American children’s diets are dominated by ultra-processed foods (UPFs) high in added sugars, chemical additives, and saturated fats, while lacking sufficient intakes of fruits and vegetables. This modern diet has been linked to a range of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. The excessive consumption of UPFs has led to a depletion of essential micronutrients and dietary fiber, while

Objectively the Best Exercise for the Aging You
What barbell exercise is the most important for the aged?
Lon Kilgore PhD argues that age-related strength loss—especially in sedentary individuals—is a major contributor to frailty, loss of independence, and even premature mortality. Drawing from data in fourteen research studies, he shows that leg strength declines earlier and more steeply than strength in other regions, making lower-body training especially critical. Despite the common misconception that back pain or knee pain should discourage exercise, Kilgore emphasizes that targeted movement can actually reduce discomfort and preserve function when done with appropriate care.
