Vaginal estrogen is a safe, effective and badly underused therapy for postmenopausal women, and it probably saves lives.
For postmenopausal women—and women with premature estrogen deprivation for other reasons—vaginal estrogen is a safe and highly effective therapy to alleviate the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, prevent recurrent UTIs, and likely to save lives.

Their words
A zero calcium score is reassuring, but it is most reassuring when the rest of the risk profile points in the same direction.

Their words
In other words, the absence of calcium is not the same as the absence of disease—it may simply mean the disease hasn’t reached the stage CAC is designed to detect.

The right cardio prescription depends on whether time or fatigue is capping your training volume, not on a fixed ratio of zones.

A coronary calcium score of zero does not mean the arteries are free of disease, and in a younger adult it is far weaker reassurance than it looks.
In other words, the absence of calcium is not the same as the absence of disease—it may simply mean the disease hasn’t reached the stage CAC is designed to detect.

Population studies can never show that short sleep shortens life, because illness both disturbs sleep and shortens life.
Population-level studies will keep struggling to prove that short sleep shortens life, because they are structurally unable to separate cause from symptom—and the genetic tools meant to overcome this limitation inherit a different fatal flaw.
Does losing sleep mean losing lifespan? Said 11 Jul 2026
Sleep loss degrades body composition, metabolism and mood at once, which is the reason to protect sleep even without a mortality number.
Sleep is a lever on body composition, metabolism, and mood, and deprivation pulls in the wrong direction across nearly every axis at once.
Does losing sleep mean losing lifespan? Said 11 Jul 2026
An occasional bad night's sleep is nothing to worry about; only a sustained pattern of short sleep is worth acting on.
So a rough night here and there is nothing to agonize over.
Does losing sleep mean losing lifespan? Said 11 Jul 2026
A conclusion being biologically reasonable is not the same as its having been proven.
Given what we know about sleep loss, that conclusion makes sense—but being reasonable isn’t the same thing as being proven.
Does losing sleep mean losing lifespan? Said 11 Jul 2026
Metformin is not a general-purpose anti-cancer or anti-ageing drug, and healthy people should not take it as one.
MAST adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that metformin is not a general-purpose anticancer drug.
Metformin and cancer: active surveillance needed Said 4 Jul 2026
Exercise is the most powerful broad-based longevity intervention available today, and a drug that blunts its adaptations is not worth taking for longevity.
we now have multiple trials confirming that metformin interferes with your ability to reap the adaptive benefits of exercise, which is the most powerful broad-based longevity intervention available to us today
Metformin and cancer: active surveillance needed Said 4 Jul 2026
A supplement or drug should be judged on well-defined benefits for well-defined problems in well-defined populations, never on a vague promise of slowing ageing.
That’s a lesson we could all learn about our approach to supplements and even drugs: not to fall for hazy promises that a single molecule will deliver vaguely-defined benefits for all aging persons, but to demand rigorous evidence for well-defined benefits for well-defined problems in well-defined populations.
Metformin and cancer: active surveillance needed Said 4 Jul 2026
The phrase "good cholesterol" should be retired: a high HDL-C number is not a free pass on cardiovascular risk.
High HDL-C is not a free pass.
The trouble with “good cholesterol” Said 27 Jun 2026
Raising HDL cholesterol is not a treatment target, because every drug that raised it failed to reduce cardiovascular events.
These failures are a strong signal that HDL-C is not the variable we should be trying to manipulate.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
