Newmark's Door

Sorry, but the conclusion for now is simply genetics.

"What’s rust got to do with it? Very little."

And it's not that adults are stupid. They're just following what was for years medical advice.

If only it were true. (Can we please teach some basic statistics to nutrition researchers?)

Once again, chronic inflammation seems to explain an important health outcome.

Interesting point: "We demand limits on spending even as we hold that life and health are priceless".

UPDATE: Link added now.

Sure hope this pans out.

I'm all in favor of "personalized medicine" because--guess what, big surprise--people are different.

One anecdote is not any kind of good ground for public policy. But if the anecdote is representative of a much, much larger class of folks--as I believe this one is--it is something that should definitely be included in the discussion.

For all its well-documented inefficiencies, the American healthcare system is second to none. And the pharmaceutical industry is an essential part of it. My son and my daughter still have their parents because of Big Pharma. I have a wife because of Big Pharma. And millions of others are alive because a scientist, paid well out of the revenue generated by a company’s previously issued medicines, discovered a new miracle medicine that could save or prolong a life.

Let's hope finding this gets lots of confirmation.
