Justin Moore, MD, has thoughts.

June 9, 2017 better living through hyperlinks: alcohol and your hippocampus, eating late is bad for you, and stop it with the hCG

June 7, 2017

Even moderate alcohol consumption is associated with atrophy of the hippocampus, the part of your brain that consolidates short-term memories into long-term memories.

More evidence that eating (instead of sleeping) late in the day is bad for you.

Small, small study, and data not available in a peer-reviewed publication yet, but "After controlling for sleep duration, the laboratory study involving healthy volunteers found that compared to eating during the daytime, prolonged eating that began at noon and went as late as 11 p.m. was associated with weight gain, increases in insulin and cholesterol levels, and impaired fat metabolism." My previous warnings about data presented only at conferences applies here, but considering the apparent care put into the study, and its funder (NIH), this'll probably end up published. 

For God's sake, stop taking hCG for weight loss.

It's been shown time and time again not to work, and it's expensive and weird. Stop it.
