The body is not that simple.
It sure would be nice if we’d do some actual science when it came to health care and nutrition.

Roberts And ObamaCare
Damon Root’s take on why he’ll probably knock it down this time.
[Update late morning]
“Save us John Roberts, you’re our only hope.”
Athletes
Should they be eating fat, or carbs?
Carb loading was always a crock.
The ObamaCare Fallback Plan
Of course they’re lying about not having one. Everything they do with regard to health care has been a lie. And of course, all this talk of chaos if SCOTUS rules against the administration is just an attempt to influence their decision.
Stem-Cell Treatments
They could cure many diseases, if Washington would let them. I think the FDA probably causes more deaths than it prevents.
Coffee
Yes, it really does seem to be good for you. I don’t consider myself an “addict,” though. I can take it or leave it. I don’t like it that much, and it has no discernible effect on me. I drink it only for health reasons.
But this isn’t really true:
The bad news? Frappuccinos and lattes are not included. You have to drink it black, because added sugar, cream, and milk can pack on the calories.
The experts aren’t very “expert” if they continue to push the calorie myth. The sugar is bad because, well, sugar is bad. Cream and milk are fine though (though I do drink mine black). I do add some sea salt in the filter to take the bite out of the bitterness.
When The Government Tells You What To Eat
It’s time to actually do some science before the government makes more disastrous recommendations. I’m still hearing stupid comments from doctors, like the one on Fox News, about how we should still watch our saturated fat and cholesterol. Why do people think that doctors are nutrition experts?
Oliver Sacks
His thoughts on being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
ObamaCare
Why libertarians hate it.
Much of the health-care system was a huge infringement on liberty even before it passed. This just made it worse.
GMO Spider Venom
…may be the next viagra?
Fortunately, I currently have no need for such a thing.
