Could Intermittent Fasting Reduce Rates of Cancer
What the evidence actually tells us about intermittent fasting, energy restriction, and cancer
This 2016 review examines whether intermittent energy restriction (IER) and intermittent fasting (IF) may reduce cancer risk compared with continuous energy restriction. The authors review evidence from animal studies and limited human trials, focusing on potential mechanisms including insulin sensitivity, inflammation, IGF-I, leptin, cell proliferation, and other pathways associated with cancer development.

The Rise and Fall of Peer Review
Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that's a great thing
This article examines the rise of peer review in scientific publishing and argues that the system has failed to deliver on its promise of making science more reliable. Although peer review became widespread after World War II as research funding and the volume of scientific papers exploded, studies suggest reviewers often miss major errors, fraudulent data, and unsupported conclusions. The process also consumes enormous amounts of researchers’ time while doing little to improve replication or scientific productivity.

Coach Glassman on the power of competition, camaraderie, and shared effort
In this 2003 article, Greg Glassman explains why training as a team can produce something individual workouts cannot. While well-designed group workouts can deliver the same physiological demands as solo training, Coach posits that competition, camaraderie, and accountability amplify effort, motivating athletes to push harder and give more than they might on their own.

Consequences of Dietary Sugar Consumption
A Historical Perspective
This 2019 review traces the dramatic rise in sugar consumption beginning with the Industrial Revolution, when sugar became cheaper and processed foods and sweetened drinks became increasingly available. Rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease rose alongside that consumption, while sugar shortages during periods such as World War I coincided with declines in metabolic disease. The authors review evidence linking excess sugar consumption to insulin resistance, fatty liver, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

Ahead of Alzheimer's: Episode 8
Angela Calman on genetic risk, prevention, and the hidden cost of Alzheimer's
Angela Calman shares how working at 23andMe shaped her perspective on genetic testing before she learned she carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, a variant associated with increased Alzheimer's risk. Rather than viewing the result as a prediction, she saw it as an opportunity to improve her health through diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes. She also reflects on her parents' very different experiences with Alzheimer's, illustrating how early detection and lifelong health habits can influence the course of cognitive decline.

Diabetes and Depression: Which Comes First?
Chris Palmer on the metabolic connection between the disorders
People with diabetes are about twice as likely to develop clinical depression, but the relationship also runs in the opposite direction: Palmer notes that people with depression have roughly a 60% higher risk of subsequently developing diabetes. Rather than viewing this simply as the psychological burden of living with chronic disease, he points to shared biological factors—including inflammation, elevated cortisol, insulin resistance, and impaired glucose regulation—that may help explain why the two conditions so frequently occur together.

Is Red Meat Really a Health Risk?
A Review Finds the Evidence Is Weak and the Risks Are Small
The 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis Red and Processed Meat Consumption and Risk for All-Cause Mortality and Cardiometabolic Outcomes examined 61 reports covering 55 cohorts and more than 4 million people. Higher red and processed meat consumption was associated with slightly greater risk for some outcomes, but the absolute differences were generally very small, and the evidence behind them was rated low or very low certainty. The studies were observational, relied heavily on self-reported food-frequency questionnaires, and could not adequately separate meat consumption from the many other diet and lifestyle differences between people who ate more or less meat.

The First Human Fired by AI
What happens when an AI becomes the boss?
At Andon Market in San Francisco, an AI manager named Luna recently made what may be a historic decision: firing a human employee. But Brady Dale finds the reality considerably less dystopian than the headline suggests. Luna needed prompting from her human operators to review the employee’s repeated lateness, and after deciding termination was appropriate, still recommended that a human conduct the actual firing.
