I am a Men’s Health specialist and a vintage car buff. On more than one early Sunday morning jaunt down the Pacific Coast Highway in an old Ghibli, I have reflected on how similar these two beasts are. 1. When they run, they run hard. Tune that old Italian just right and you are in […]
Believe it or not, science has now claimed to have made “synthetic life.” Life created from non-living substances. J Craig Venter and colleagues, after a decade of work, produced a man-made version of the entire DNA content (genome) of a bacteria (adding in a couple of harmless “watermarks” to track it) and inserted it into […]
A relatively alarming study was published a couple of years ago that suggested that a pregnant woman’s behavior can determine the fertility of her unborn son. Researchers looked at the sperm quality of 387 men and compared the data to the amount of beef their mothers consumed while they were pregnant. They found that the […]
There must be something in the air… or water. Bolivian President Evo Morales has asserted publicly that hormones found in mass-produced foods are “feminizing” men. He was referring to chicken in Bolivia, which he believes is “loaded with feminine hormones.” He further suggested that when men eat chicken “they are diverted from their nature as […]
Had a wonderful evening out with my wife last night at a Caetano Veloso concert at Masonic Hall on Nob Hill in San Francisco. Caetano Veloso is Brazil’s equivalent of Frank Sinatra and is endowed with an absolutely otherworldly voice and reigns from Bahia. He is an historically important figure having led the Bossa Nova […]
How much coffee or tea do you consume every day? Since many of us buy Slurpee-sized cups of coffee in the morning, you should break those down into units of 8-ounce cups. Ask yourself the same for the number of cans of soda, particularly colas that you imbibe. It might be a good idea to […]
How would you react to a doctor who, instead of explaining the entirety of your medical options, simply said “trust me, this is the right choice.” Maybe that style of “care” worked a generation or two back, but today’s patients have access to any piece of medical information that their doctors do. Patients want to […]
Imaging parking your car at home after work and all the nicks and scratches are removed while you sleep, before heading to work the next day. All shiny and new, polished even, while you sleep. Believe it or not, this is normally what happens to your genes and chromosomes on a minute-to-minute basis. DNA mismatch […]
Not all stem cells are alike. News to you? Maybe not, but it has hit researchers pretty hard over the past several weeks. As you may have garnered from prior essays on this blog, stem cells are potentially capable of morphing into many different tissues, such nerves, heart or liver, and are the next wave […]
The couple had been trying to conceive for 5 years unsuccessfully. The tension and anxiety in the relationship was palpable and strained. They had spent well into the 5 digits to have a child with test tube baby technology (IVF) and yet were still not pregnant. His vasectomy reversal had also failed them. And they […]
