And on the Running theme, anyone who’s had a joint issue for whatever reason, can attest to how hard it is to get back on your feet.

HALLELUJAH JEEZUS, I CAN STOP NOW!!!

James H O’Keefe and Carl Lavie of Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute and the U. Mo. -Kansas City MedSchool have just pronounced the words every poor suffering bastard running his Nikes to the midsole has been waiting to hear since the 70′s taught them Afros on white men were awesome:

The only thing this proves is that there are differences in the 2 methodologies.

-That and monkeys are not to be trusted.

In fact, I’m sure they conspired to screw the results for the indignity of being kept in restricted conditions so blood samples could be taken regularly.

+And at least 1/2 of them were sneaking cigarette breaks.

So, thanks to the research of Keith Cowing over at SpaceRef, we now know that the claims by Ameriscience that NASA had developed antioxidant softgels for the skin were incorrect.

Keith also goes on to note that the doctor whose alleged quotes were circulated is unpaid, uncontactable, works in the Family Practice & Preventive Medicine departments, and the only thing a person with that name ever published on Astro-Nautery was

In a study of 12 1,200 people, Columbia researchers have come up with at least an association between Dementia/Alzheimer’s and Omega 3 intake. -One that’s been hinted at many times before.

It turns out that people who get more were observed to have lower incidence of the “Doddering Granny” varieties of brain disease.

Ok, so awhile ago I met this doctor, let’s call him, “Mr. Green Jeans”.

I’d write more about it here, but the article is positively exhaustive; though not in the “80-page-Journal-Abstract-Reading” sense of scientific overload.

Lisa spins her phonebook over at New York Magazine not about the brainy specifics, but more about the general presence & consequences of the bio-tech that makes pregnancy a tantalizing-but-iffy possibility for women at/over 50, or even past Menopause. Thankfully,
