Carnitina, colina, cáncer, y colesterol: la conexión OTMA

Ampliando la temática de mi próxima participación en “El Show del Dr. Oz”, un nuevo artículo hito en el New England Journal of Medicine muestra que la colina en huevos, carne de ave, lácteos, y carne de pez produce el mismo OTMA tóxico que la carnitina en la carne roja, lo que puede ayudar a explicar la protección que proporciona una dieta basada en plantas ante enfermedades cardíacas y cáncer de próstata.

Cancer-Proofing Mutation

Congenital IGF-1 deficiency can lead to Laron Syndrome (a type of dwarfism); but with such low growth hormone levels, those with the condition have dramatically lower cancer rates. This raises the question of whether one can achieve the best of both worlds—by ensuring adequate IGF-1 levels during childhood, while then suppressing excess growth promotion in adulthood.

Preventing Kidney Failure Through Diet

Given how vascular our kidneys are, it should comes as no surprise that animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol are associated with declining kidney function (microalbuminurea—loss of protein in the urine), which can be an early warning sign not only for kidney failure, but also for heart disease and a shortened lifespan.
