About 15% of ~40,000 people who developed cancer have pathogenic (disease-causing) genome variants (PVs) when their DNA was sequenced.
That's a big proportion of cancer that would set up prevention or very early detection which is completely missed today @AACR @CD_AACR

Does whole-grain intake reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors? And, if so, what parameters, and how much whole-grain intake?
Results from 87 randomized clinical trials.
Yes.
Highest benefit seen at 60-100g/day = 4-6 servings
See Table for each parameter and level of certainty

Per anni è stato associato principalmente al controllo della glicemia, oggi il GLP-1 è al centro di una rivoluzione scientifica che coinvolge obesità, diabete, cuore, reni, fegato, infiammazione e cervello. Ne abbiamo parlato a Health con Paolo Fiorina, Professore di Endocrinologia all’Università degli Studi di Milano, che ha spiegato come il GLP-1 rappresenti oggi uno degli ambiti più promettenti della medicina metabolica.
