  • Raises Interesting Follow-Up Questions

    The result that the number of fat cells is set in adolescence and remains constant through adulthood, by the bodies fixed fat cell replacement rate boggles my mind. I have questions about pushing the limits of this. The summary talks about people who were overweight in adolescence. What about a person who was lean in adolescence? How much ...

  • Problematic Statement from Host and Guest

    Below are some comments from the guests and hosts that seem to be at odds with the scientific literature. Andrew Leuchter: “In those studies where this increase[d] thoughts about suicide and agitation were noted, actually, there were no suicides - that people thought about it but they didn’t act on it.” This is a problematic statement. ...

  • what am i doing here?

    What a great article. I google searched ''is law school hard?'' and got this article! Well, I thank you so much for this, for some reason I feel very confident. Little old Sociology major me, thinking of law school. sounds like a challenge-- a very expensive one, but a lucrative one none the less. Public Health/JD here I come!

  • body parts

    I'm NOT knocking the medical advances. I AM knocking the military's apparent motivation. To believe ANY military body actually puts a value on relieving human suffering, EXCEPT to have enough superiority of cannon fodder, is very naive. ''Today's permanent wound will be tomorrow's bad memory. Blow off our fingers, and we'll grow them back....'' ...

  • Under Pressure

    I'm curious to know if there is any anecdotal evidence that the pressure to breastfeed in some communities can actually lessen the satisfaction a mother gets from sharing this event with her child. I've noticed that in affluent, educated circles, there are a lot of community enforced norms of the ''proper'' way to rear a child. Women or couples ...

  • Sugar-free, too

    I am a guy, and read your article for support of my own sugar free attempt. Thought it was great. I once was a South Beacher - and I do think it a great and healthful diet. However, I fell off the wagon, re-gained the 20 lost pounds, just like all the diet criticizer say you will. But nw, I am trying again to lose weight, and have ientified ...

  • Candidate Requirements

    I think any candidate for a significant office (President, U. S. Senator or Congressman, state Governor) should present two sets of documents, each time he/she files to be a candidate. 1. Edacted copies of the preious 7 years of tax returns, verified by the IRS, and, 2. A complete, reliable, health examination report (to catch health and ...

  • Re: Actually

    Yes, please question ''conventional wisdom'' with regard to this crazy ''science'' which passes off for AIDS research. Why did five Nobel Prize winning scientists bitterly condemn the AIDS establishment within 10 years of Gallo and Heckler's announcement? Why did three congressional hearings declare the US discovery of HIV and patenting of the ...

  • Re: Adherence to prescriptions

    This was one of the best summaries of the issue I have ever read. I would add that pharmaceutical companies are key to solving the problem. I know of a drug used to treat MS, which has adherence rates of 95%, because of the patient support program launched by its manufacturer. Because the drug costs $20,000/year, they can afford to provide ''gold ...
