What are the implications of this? Is med advantage a positive cost saving strategy for end of life? Or is it significantly more difficult to get the care people need and therefore people are not actually accessing the care they are entitled to?

This is interesting, but mTor promotes all kinds of growth, including neuroplasticity and immune cell proliferation. You’d expect this to be a general effect, so omega 6 may also have beneficial effects on these other pathways via mTor eh?

Preclinical data says yes. Clinical studies haven’t been designed for this though. For example, few participants in any clinical study actually had much inflammation, so hard to tell if it drops. Still there was some signal. We need studies designed to test these effects in particular.

Very interesting! Thanks for the info. Do they really give it up or do they just tend to start vaping or start use nicotine pouches or something like that?
Either likely reduces risk, but just wondering if it really gets people to stop using nicotine, or just to stop combusting it?

What are the chances that lowering nicotine just makes people smoke more cigarettes to achieve the same effect? The nicotine isn’t the dangerous part. It’s the smoking.
