You can be deeply content without being married. I'm a big believer in the magnificence of marriage, but I know thousands of single people who are profoundly content and emotionally healthy. Their contentment is much more important to their lives than marriage would be. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren

The secret for protecting teeth from excessive demineralization is to control snacking and sipping, especially in the afternoon hours when saliva is most healing, and use food pairing to minimize demineralization when you choose to sip or nibble. Pure xylitol gum or mints can also help us limit demineralization damage when they are used at the end of every meal, snack, or drink. The flow of alkaline saliva stimulated by eating xylitol will help wash away acids and provide minerals to help heal demineralized enamel. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

Three studies found no weight loss or cardiometabolic benefits on a 16/8 eating pattern (16 hours of fasting, 8 hours to eat). One other study did find that shifting the eating window to early in the day, from 8 am to 2 pm, actually did result in lower 24-hour glucose levels, reduced glucose excursions, and lower insulin levels compared to controls. So perhaps an early-day feeding window could be effective, but in my view 16 hours without food simply isn't long enough to activate autophagy or inhibit chronic mTOR elevation. Another drawback is that you're virtually guaranteed to miss your protein target with this approach. [2023] - Peter Attia
