MD and I walked all over Prague today, and I can tell you from direct observation that the obesity situation here is a problem. I don’t have at hand the actual statistics on this part of the world, but by my visual statistics it looks about the same as the US. There are overweight kids,…
According to research published in the June 15 issue of Cancer Research sun exposure wards off prostate cancer. Researchers evaluated men for their degree of lifetime sun exposure by using a reflectometer to measure the differences in skin pigmentation between non-sun exposed skin (under the arm) and sun-exposed skin (the forehead) in men with prostate…
A new paper in the online version of The Lancet has shown in a direct fashion that both smoking and obesity decrease lifespan. Researchers evaluated a group of female identical twins to determine the effects of smoking, obesity and serum leptin levels on telomere length. Telomeres are little bits of genetic material that act almost…
I saved last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine to read on the plane. In it there was an article by Clive Thompson on how the growing changeover to high definition (HDTV) is affecting actors, actresses, talking heads, and all the rest who make their living in front of the camera.

I’m happy to report that the flights all went well. In my book a good flight is one that starts at one airport and ends wheels first at another. Continental (at least if this trip was anything to go by) provided top-notch service. Much much better than Delta, Air France or Alitalia–the last three airlines…
After 24 hours of travel we’re finally settled in our hotel in Prague where we have high speed wireless internet service for a mere 720 Czech Koruna per 24 hours, which works out to be about $30 per day. At those prices you need to read these entries two or three times each so that…
Here I sit in the Continental Lounge at LAX waiting for a flight to Cleveland with a connection to Gatwick. There is WiFi throughout the lounge, so I figured I would use this opportunity to blog a little. I’m eager to try Continental on a transcontinental flight. I’ve only flown Continental once before, and that…
Researchers at the University of Minnesota replaced the carbohydrate in their diabetic patients’ diets with protein and tracked the changes in blood sugar. They found that the blood sugar reduction was comparable to that found with anti-diabetic drugs. And, there was no reduction in kidney function. They published their results in Nutrition & Metabolism. The…
I don’t think so. Take a look at this Opinion Dynamics Corp report.
Well, two out of three ain’t bad. I don’t know why I’ve been so fascinated with this trial because up until it really got going I didn’t know Michael Jackson from a bar of soap. I mean I knew who he was, but I knew nothing about him, couldn’t name a single song, never watched…
