Diabetics have been shown to have higher rates of cancer metastasis than non-diabetics. This 2019 study investigates the promotion of tumor cell mobility by collagen matrix glycation as a possible mechanism for the increase.

Effective coaching requires efficient communication. This communication is greatly aided by coach and athlete sharing a terminology for both human movement and body parts. We’ve developed an exceedingly simple lesson in anatomy and physiology that we believe has improved our ability to accurately and precisely motivate desired behaviors and enhanced our athletes’ understanding of both movement and posture.

On June 20, 2019, CrossFit, Inc. filed a renewed motion for terminating sanctions against the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) in the Southern District Court of California.

To continue to attack the growing health burden by investing almost exclusively in strategies that target secondary and tertiary treatment of chronic disease states (i.e. pharmaceutical interventions) is extremely short sighted: primary defence mechanisms (i.e. exercise/diet and lifestyle interventions) will decrease disease prevalence by preventing these conditions in the first place!”

"Cholesterol and its derivatives are important constituents of cell membranes, and precursors of other steroid compounds. But it has been associated with increased risks of heart and blood vessel diseases. The warnings against cholesterol were so intense that they created a new medical diagnosis: ‘You have high cholesterol!’ It now turns out that it was indeed one great big hoax. In due course, Big Pharma extracted some $2 trillion from consumers in the name of ‘cholesterol-lowering treatment.'"
