Do they cause Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia?
It would be nice to find a common, fixable cause.

Treating Symptoms
I’m not as shocked that cholesterol-reduction drugs don’t alleviate heart problems as these “scientists” are. There’s plenty of good science out there, but it doesn’t fit the orthodoxy, and encouraging better (not low-fat or low-cholesterol) diets don’t generate revenue for drug companies.
One other point: Nowhere in that article is the fact that taking CoQ10 can alleviate muscle pain from statins discussed. What a bunch of crap.
Running Versus Strength Training
Why doesn’t the mainstream realize that the latter is better? We both need to get started on this.
Vegetarian Diet
I don’t know if this is true, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all: It apparently increases risk of heart disease and cancer.
Our Gut Bacteria
This topic came up in comments at yesterday’s nutrition post, but new research indicates that tampering with them may significantly reduce the risk of stroke.
The Imperial First Lady
The government is threatening to fine schools for not following Michelle’s child-abusive lunch program.
I wonder if someone could file a lawsuit demanding to see the science behind her recommendations? Because there is none.
Lipidophobia

A Feminist Picnic
…falls apart when no one is willing to make samwiches.
Maybe they’ve just realized that people should go paleo.
OK, probably not.
Growing Human Hearts From Stem Cells
The headline on the article is misleading, but this seems like good progress.
Not that (as far as I know) I need a replacement, but faster, please.
Epigenetic Aging
We may be able to turn it off, and reverse it. I’ve always been amused by (in Clarke’s words) the “distinguished elderly [or not so elderly] scientists” who think that the laws of physics require our bodies to deteriorate over time.
Via Glenn, who has some further thoughts.
