I just have to go back to my own life 10 years ago and remember that I wished so much for my life to be the way it is now. 💚

Scientist says, annotate your code because six months is plenty of time to forget your own logic.

On a more fun note:

🖤 20% of scientists have tattoos

🌙 68% prefer to work late at night

🎸 45% play a musical instrument or sing

📺 2% say they were drawn to the filed because of TV shows

☕️ 43% prefer coffee (vs 23% tea)

🎶 64% listen to music while in the lab

Note that this study made rigorous adjustments for confounding factors like BMI, smoking, exercise, and socioeconomic status. And used repeat dietary measures to minimize errors.

However, focused exclusively on women, predominantly of European ancestry

No direct data on calcium supplements, though other studies support their protective role

Whole grains, breakfast cereals, fruits, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamin C, folate also inversely associated with CRC risk, but these associations were weaker/ partly explained by confounding lifestyle factors

Protective factors:
Calcium: 17% ⬇️ risk per 300 mg/day increase
Dairy products: 14% ⬇️ risk per 200 g/day increase.

Calcium’s role likely due to binding bile acids and free fatty acids in the colon, reducing their carcinogenic potential

Dairy products protective largely due to calcium content
