29:05 All hormones are at their peak between 8 and 10 am.
29:45 Blood/serum testing is the most accurate.
32:30 Follicle-stimulating hormone FSH helps the egg to mature and stimulates the release of estrogen
and progesterone.

saturated fat for 2 years.
01:38 Reducing saturated fat possibly reduced cardiovascular events.
04:00 Heart attack risk and saturated fat reduction has no clear correlation.
05:30 Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat, carbs, or protein
effects did not differ.
06:15 There may be a prevention of second heart attacks with saturated fat reduction.
07:00 Other cardiovascular events and cancer outcomes effects were very small or unclear.
08:00 Carbohydrates and processed foods are often used to replace saturated fat in the diet. -
