SUBJ: Sex exercises
SUBtitle: DHEA, NAD, and Rapamycin supplements may be hazardous
SHORT NOTES: DHEA is converted to testosterone which enhances prostate tumor progression; Umami, monosodium glutamate, fructose (in sodas and high fructose corn syrup), and salt induce hunger, obesity and metabolic syndrome; Sex exercises; Maintain activities of daily living as long as you can; NAD supplements likely to boost cancer rate; Rapamycin increases osteoarthritis.
LONG NOTES:
From Science: Deep brain stimulation done precisely may alleviate Parkinson’s motor disability, 8 Oct pg 153
Gut bacteria enable prostate cancer growth 8 Oct pg 154. DHEA is converted to testosterone which enhances prostate tumor progression.
8 Oct pg 166, How taste might drive obesity, Umami, monosodium glutamate, fructose (in sodas and high fructose corn syrup), and salt induce hunger, obesity and metabolic syndrome in mice. There are similar pathways in humans.

Disability to Death: At 10 years before death, 93% of the elderly were free from any Activities of Daily Living (ADL) disabilities, and only 4% reported more than three ADL disabilities. At 6 years before death, an average of 10% of the participants had more than three ADL disabilities, and at one year before death, moderate to severe disability increased to 38%.

NAD supplements likely to boost cancer rate. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cancer-research-points-to-key-unknowns-about-popular-antiaging-supplements/
Rapamycin increases osteoarthritis. https://arthritis-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13075-021-02637-1 This is the first study to show that Rap induced increase in plasma glucose was associated with greater OA severity. Further, articular cartilage mTORC1 inhibition and bodyweight reduction by dietary Rap and Rap+Met did not appear to protect against primary OA during the prevailing hyperglycemia.
