Bulletproof Staff — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 16:00:23 +0000

Do you know what’s in your oil bottle? Not all oil products are created equal. When you buy something that says “MCT” on it, it’s not always just from coconuts. Palm oil is often in there too, which nutritionally isn’t a huge deal… except that the palm oil industry has been destroying the world’s rainforests […]

Dave Asprey — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:00:24 +0000

Just about any coffee can stop dry eyes in two ways: 1. Bad coffee tastes bad and has toxins in it, which makes you sad, which makes you cry. Problem solved! 2. The caffeine in coffee acts on certain chemical receptors in your brain, which facilitates the release of tears. Both of these observations are […]

Dave Asprey — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:00:19 +0000

Statins are one of the most used drugs in the history of human existence. In 2008, $12.4 billion dollars worth of Lipitor was sold.
