Is Aging Unstoppable

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.

Fish oil – Failure by design

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.
