Adding gold vastly increases strength and hardness. I’d still prefer just regrowing the standard body parts, though.
I wonder what aerospace applications it might have?

Skinny Fat People
This is an excellent example of how simplistic too many people’s (including medical professionals) view of diet, dietary fat and obesity remain. The simply notion that you are what you eat is stupid.
Artificial Sweeteners
Seriously, they not only taste bad, but they’re bad for you, and don’t help with weight loss. But they’re big business.
Pleasing The Ladies
New you can use, if you’re a woman — the latest tech in self stimulation.
Pasta
No, “journalists,” it’s not not fattening.
Life Extension
It might be possible to live thirty years longer. I wonder to what degree treating diabetes with metformin will also extend life? I also think that people confuse cause and effect between aging and many of the “diseases of aging.”
I think there’s potential for much more than that. I don’t buy the notion that the body can’t be repaired indefinitely. It violates no laws of physics.

The mystery of the Missing Link has been solved once again!
The Food Tribes In LA
How they ruined my barbecue (he means grilling).
Zika Vaccines
Two of them gearing up for use after success in mice.
Well, that seems like a bit of good news.
“Grooming”

[Friday-morning update]
Thoughts from a (female) gynocologist.
Whole Foods
…isn’t just ripping its customers off, it’s endangering their health.
I rarely shop there. The prices are outrageous, and the benefits vastly overstated. “Organic” is largely a scam. I never pay a premium for it.
