""The most potent natural stimulus to growth hormone secretion is fasting. In one study, over a five-day fasting period, growth hormone secretion more than doubled. During fasting, in addition to the usual early-morning spike of growth hormone (pulsatile), there is also regular secretion throughout the day (non-pulsatile). Interestingly, very low-calorie diets are not able to provoke the same growth hormone response"" — Nov 11, 2025 11:55AM

"...Incentives for the decision-maker determine behaviour. This means that we have to recognize self-interested behaviour in others.
There is an old saying:"Never ask the village barber if you need a haircut." We are biased by our incentives as are others including lawyers, accountants, doctors, consultants, salesmen, organizations, the media, etc. What is good for them may not be good for us." — Nov 14, 2025 04:05PM
