The Metabolism of Tumors in the Body
Otto Warburg’s 1926 paper that introduced the 'Warburg Effect`
His paper explored how tumor cells obtain energy and whether they can be killed by depriving them of glucose and oxygen. His findings laid the groundwork for understanding cancer metabolism and are foundational to what became known as the ‘Warburg effect’—the observation that cancer cells preferentially generate energy by fermenting glucose into lactic acid, even in the presence of oxygen. Unlike normal cells, which rely primarily on aerobic respiration, this metabolic shift supports rapid growth and survival in the often low-oxygen environments of tumors.

Metabolic Flexibility to Get Healthier
Webinar with Mike T. Nelson
This webinar with Dr. Mike T. Nelson dives deep into metabolic flexibility, the body’s ability to efficiently switch between burning fats and carbohydrates based on activity, diet, and fasting states. He explains that this adaptability is crucial for metabolic health, athletic performance, and longevity. Impaired flexibility is linked to conditions like metabolic syndrome, while improving it can enhance energy efficiency and recovery. Fuel use depends on exercise intensity: fats dominate during low-intensity activity, while carbohydrates are key during high-effort sessions. Strategic training, intermittent fasting, and tailored nutrition can shift the body’s “crossover point” to optimize fuel use.

The 4S Study In Some More Detail
Why it matters that placebo-controlled trials can never be repeated
Malcolm Kendrick examines the landmark 4S (Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study), pointing out a highly unusual delay in survival benefit—no advantage for nearly 18 months followed by a sudden divergence—that contrasts sharply with the immediate benefits observed in virtually all other statin trials. He highlights that because placebo-controlled trials can’t ethically be repeated, this anomaly—potentially compounded by industry involvement—remains unchallenged, raising serious concerns about the study’s reliability and its foundational role in statin use.

Are We All Addicted to Sugar?
Dr. Nicole Avena argues that while sugar isn’t officially classified as an addictive substance, it behaves like one by hijacking the brain’s dopamine reward system—similar to drugs or alcohol.
From early childhood, we’re conditioned to crave sweetness, and as we grow, repeated exposure builds tolerance, leading us to need more sugar to feel the same pleasure. This cycle is reinforced by the food industry, which profits from our dependence on sugar-rich products. Over time, excessive sugar intake can harm
