Is it time to stop worrying about them?
I think so. I still measure it, but I don’t really care about total. Since I went partially paleo, my ratio’s good, and my triglycerides are almost unmeasurable. I’m sure as hell not going to take statins to get it down.
More thoughts on young blood, from Derek Lowe.
It used to be that Canadians headed south of the border to get quality care. Now Californians are doing it.
A New Yorker reporter gives it a try.
I haven’t read the whole thing yet.
[A while later]
OK, I did read it. I was amused to learn that he was hawking it at my own local Whole Foods. One concern I have is his use of seed oils. Canola has too much omega 6 for my health. I’d use olive instead, though it costs more. If you don’t use virgin, though, it doesn’t have to cost that much.
…that could make you smarter?
Heck, I’d be happy with the anti-aging part myself. Though I have a commenter or two that could stand to be smarter.
Apparently, carb reduction can help with GERDS.
Have they really found a cure?
…the developments at Penn point, tantalizingly, to something more, something that would rank among the great milestones in the history of mankind: a true cure. Of 25 children and 5 adults with Emily’s disease, ALL, 27 had a complete remission, in which cancer becomes undetectable.“
It’s a stunning breakthrough,” says Sally Church, of drug development advisor Icarus Consultants. Says Crystal Mackall, who is developing similar treatments at the National Cancer Institute: “It really is a revolution. This is going to open the door for all sorts of cell-based and gene therapy for all kinds of disease because it’s going to demonstrate that it’s economically viable.”
Also:
“I’ve told the team that resources are not an issue. Speed is the issue,” says Novartis Chief Executive Joseph Jimenez, 54. “I want to hear what it takes to run this phase III trial and to get this to market. You’re talking about patients who are about to die. The pain of having to turn patients away is such that we are going as fast as we can and not letting resources get in the way.”
Yes. Faster please.
The notion that the ACA will reduce it is Obama’s biggest lie?
I don’t know. It’s got a lot of stiff competition.
I’ve been taking an 81 mg dose for heart-attack/stroke prevention, but maybe I shouldn’t be.
And how did they come up with 81 for the dosage? Why not a round number?
Now that we know that saturated fat is actually the best kind for us, it would make a world of sense for them to go back to cooking them in tallow. It would be healthier, it was what made them taste great in the old days, and it would save them money given how it would just be a bi-product of the beef that they already mass produce.
