Episode notes

I think people should also remember that if you're sleeping, most people are not eating in the middle of the night. So I don't know of a good reason or argument, scientific, that we should be increasing it beyond that. Because we're triggering a lot of catabolic processes that at some point may get out of hand. Cancer is one such thing. It's probably the opinion of the catabolic processes and autophagy is highly expressed in most types of solid tumors.

This week, Paul has Georgi Dinkov back on the podcast for the third time to cover a plethora of topics: the benefits versus risks of carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes, the root causes of diabetes and cancer, and so much more.
