Link to the article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31965140/ The study looked at 146,011 people from 21 countries. Egg consumption was recorded using food frequency questionaire. They looked a the hazard ratios of those people and found no association with egg consumption and blood lipids, mortality, or major cardiovascular events. TL;DR Eggs aren’t associated with increased health complications (CVD, blood…
Link to the article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31879752/ Intermittent fasting (IF) and Paleolithic (Paleo) have been studied before and found to be effective in controlled studies. The study gave 250 overweight patients the option of Mediterranean, IF, or Paleo diets. Most chose IF. Many patients did not stick to their diet over the course of a year. On average…
Link to the article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32607928/ This was a retrospective study taking place in New York City looking at 6,493 patients positive for COVID-19. They looked at specific vital signs and laboratory values and found low blood pressure, increased heart rate, low oxygen, kidney function, and increased D-dimer had increased hazard ratios. Being female, African-American, and hydroxychloroquine…

Data available is limited and selective…
Link to the article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7302353/ MicroRNA can have suppressive effects on certain biochemical pathways involved in cancer specifically osteosarcoma in regards to this paper. Using bioinformatics techniques, they were able to hone into specific miRNA that can suppress osteosarcoma. TL;DR Increases in certain molecular mechanisms can help suppress bone cancer (osteosarcoma)
