Episode notes
Use A Paper Filter For Coffee
- Use an organic paper filter in drip coffee makers to reduce unwanted compounds from coffee oils.
- Dr. Joel Kahn recommends filtered coffee and reassures habitual drinkers about modest blood pressure effects.
Coffee May Slightly Lower Blood Pressure
- A Mendelian randomization study found habitual coffee drinkers had ~3 mmHg lower systolic and ~2 mmHg lower diastolic blood pressure.
- The finding came from a large Biobank analysis of regular (not decaf) coffee consumption.
Semaglutide Linked To Slower Epigenetic Aging
- A randomized trial reported weekly semaglutide injections slowed epigenetic aging and reversed measured biological age by about 3.1 years.
- The trial was small and conducted in people with HIV, so results may not generalize broadly.
