I occasionally happen across expert blogs and columns by other doctors who are called on for their expertise. Recently one such physician surprisingly skipped the whole fish oil and prostate cancer nonsense and dug up another negative study” Fish oil No Good for Heart Disease” from way back in the Spring. Now in this guy’s […]

Arguments continue among the best and brightest scientists concerning the question: Is aging unstoppable. If you think about it that question has already been answered in a functional way. There are several mammalian cell lines that have been made “immortal” simply by turning on telomerase and expressing it at a higher level than normal. Most surprising is

I have to tell you, I am appalled at the recent issues with the NCI study and its supposed link to fish oil and advanced prostate cancer. I have already ridiculed the authors, but in case it was not clear, let me restate it in the clearest way possible: I think the authors, particularly the

While I am not 100% sure if this was a deliberate snipe at me I didn’t care because it played right into my hands. I destroyed the arguments that were advanced in favor of “natural triglyceride fish oil” also known

A few months ago I wrote a blog/newsletter entitled “Don’t Swallow It!” It was lamenting the lack of a BS detector on the internet and how easily factoids can spread misinformation. Today’s little gem fits right in with that theme. The latest round of “Fish oil No Good for Heart Disease” studies was published this

A couple of questions have been nagging at those of us who study telomeres and telomerase closely. The first is – what is the correlation, if any, between tissue types?
