Yum! I want researchers to say: "No, no -- we were wrong about grains! Eat more pasta!" As it is now, I've given up grains almost entirely. :cry: But I need to start getting more creative about substitutions. According to my dietary criteria (which are a bit unusual), root veggies are OK. ...

(Continued from thread in Support.) I agree with all the sentiments expressed, which might seem odd, since they're partially mutually contradictory :) ). Skibike, I'm with you here -- I've said it many times already, I'm here to live this life with quality not quantity. -- but I think quantity is re...

I'm still logging 3 miles daily, but not competitively. I go at a pace that feels good. Intuitively, I know this is better for me. I've also decided to go easy, and also because of an intuition of sorts. But I'd love to get some solid scientific answers. I mostly trust my intuition, but not entirel...

I finally left the house yesterday (to do something other than be inserted into an MRI tube). The occasion was a dinner party with six close friends. All are typical Scandinavian drinkers. I'd decided several weeks ago that the balance of evidence pointed towards complete abstention from alcohol as ...

Thanks Julie! Have you, or has anyone, read the full paper? The abstract doesn't contain a "methods" section, so we don't whether the diets were isocaloric. This means -- I am not going to stop making this point, sorry! :) -- that we can't tell from the abstract whether it was dietary cons...

I've become such a CR Society / Michael Rae fan that on any topic related to aging, supplements, or diet, I first check the CR Society archives, putting in the subject matter as a search term, and author Michael Rae: http://arc.crsociety.org/search.php One post I get is: http://arc.crsociety.org/rea...

some confounding observations http://www.alzforum.org/new/detail.asp?id=3477 There are a lot of confounding factors here. For me, the take home message is: "With so much conflicting data, this paper suggests the field does not have a final answer," [Zlokovic] concluded. But this area of r...
