As you may know already, I wrote a book on telomeres back in 2010 called the [eafl id=”2395″ name=”The Immortality Edge” text=”The Immortality Edge”]. While this was a ‘telomere centric’ book, it did focus on all kinds of things to help keep those biologic time clocks ticking. In spite of criticism, I maintained (and still …
I get a lot of emails from people who don’t like to eat fish and others who are concerned about mercury in fish. I can understand both. When I was a kid, the fish we got here in Pennsylvania was anything but fresh and it did not leave a pleasant experience in my memory. In the …
