I would speculate that when placebos appear to work, it is primarily because they don't do anything, besides possibly providing some increased hope to the patient, allowing the body to work without the "side" effects of drugs. The human b

The kids "somewhere in between" "strive to become popular and have all sorts of angst"? That's a pretty big claim for ALL the kids who are neither nerds nor popular. I speculate that a great deal of those kids don't obsess about highschool

True, it seems half the California male highschoolers go for the homosexual look of wearing girls' pants these days. Some influence of "emo" music bands, perhaps. Not sure how trendy baggy pants are any more. Of course, my claimed observa

I've heard this about European countries, such as Italy and Spain, many times over the years. If it is indeed true in general, I wonder why. Better family structure leading to less insecurity among kids, so they don't take out as many of t

Given that most people would care if even a stranger were assaulted and pushed to the ground, perhaps the clerk reasonably assumed you didn't care because it was a Catholic figure who was the target. In that case, he would be right in assu

Why would the fact that we like things that taste sweet indicate that they were hard to find? Our bodies run on sugar; sources of sugar, such as fruits and starches were not hard to find. Availability and use of fruit in our diet long ago i

2000+ calories of fruits and vegetables alone will supply more than enough of one's daily sodium needs. We need sodium. We don't need rock salt. CRON-O-Meter (Linux/Win/Mac) and similar software/sites (e.g. fitday.com) will demonstrate thi

A natural form of MSG is found in one popular variety of edible seaweed: kombu. Interestingly, some canned beans, e.g. Eden Organic (unsalted), come with kombu in the can. All the debate over things like artificial/alternatives sweeteners a

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, like Vitamins A, E, and K. It does accumulate in the fat tissue. An excess of Vitamin D is not simply disposed of in the urine, like Vitamin C or the B-complex. Interestingly, although it is now evident

Mostly good points. I think some comments are necessary on a few though: Agave nectar and stevia as sugar substitutes are also not without controversy. I find it easiest to get my sugar from whole, ripe, and fresh fruit. Once sufficient

In 2005, the below paper was published showing life extension in mice allegedly due to methionine restriction. So the instant article would make it appear that at least some scientists think they are closer to showing a similar mechanism at

People interested in caloric restriction, optimal nutrition (CRON), should find the latest research reported on in this article very interesting. This article reports that a diet low in the amino acid menthionine is hypothesized to be the k

Besides diet and sleep, a specific possible factor may be a low or deficient level of Vitamin D. If you suspect yours may be low, e.g. from not enough sun, consider getting your 25-hydroxy levels of Vit D checked. Supplementing with aroun

"and everyone else looking and acting exactly like me." Is this ever really the case? It seems thrown out there so much, but I've never observed a case of people all acting the same. Especially in a school.

And unlike smoking, driving has practical benefits, i.e. getting from point A to point B, enabling one to have a job, social outings, vacations, etc... Smoking has no real benefits. It has a short term plus of making one "feel good"; but n
