In 2000, researchers in Japan found that high consumption of green tea delayed the average age of cancer onset by 7.3 years and reduced breast cancer recurrence. Green tea extract supplements were shown to reduce the incidence of colorectal adenomas by over 50 percent in small pilot studies. In prostate cancer, green tea extracts block the progression of high-grade precancerous lesions. These studies are promising but highly preliminary, but green tea is one of the few chemopreventive tools that is a low-cost, natural food with no negative side effects. [2020] - Jason Fung

The time between sleep onset and REM onset is termed REM latency. Measuring RREM latency during a sleep can be useful. A shortened REM latency can be seen in patients who are sleep deprived, suffer from clinical depression, or who have narcolepsy. A prolonged latency is often seen in individuals who consume alcohol or other REM-suppressing medications. [2017] - W. Chris Winter

Once a full position has matured, and there are indications of a possible waning of trend momentum, parts of the position may be closed in succession.  [2009] - James Chen

Now we have a tool to help us understand our own individual carbohydrate tolerance and how we respond to specific foods. This is called continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM. Typically, my healthy patients need to use CGM only for a month or two before they begin to understand what foods are spiking their glucose (and insulin) and how to adjust their eating pattern to obtain a more stable glucose curve. Fructose doesn't get measured by CGM, but because fructose is almost always consumed in combination with glucose, fructose-heavy foods will still likely cause blood-glucose spikes. [2023] - Peter Attia
