How to lower your blood pressure

This video clip is taken from Podcast #194 – How Fructose Drives Metabolic Disease with Rick Johnson, M.D. Rick Johnson…

“Fructose turns out to have been meant to be this wonderful system for survival, but in our culture with the amount of sugar in foods that we are eating (that either provide sugar or can be turned into fructose), this pathway has become hazardous.” —Rick Johnson

“If we’re still saying the same things we said 30 years ago, it could be a problem because we should have learned how to say it better, more accurately.” —Allan Sniderman

“If I get a result that suddenly doesn’t make sense, to me that’s more exciting. . .if you figure out why it didn’t work and what was wrong, then that’s where most breakthroughs come from.” — Lew Cantley

“Fructose turns out to be used by animals as a mechanism to store fat.” — Rick Johnson

Mendelian randomization and lifetime cardiovascular disease risk.

“The single greatest risk to my longevity is my lower back.” —Peter Attia

“If there is one central, common pathway through which we can understand almost all aspects of the deleterious impact of insufficient sleep, it is…an excessive leaning on the fight or flight branch of the nervous system.” — Matthew Walker
