Wolf has been Cried So Very Many Times When it Comes to Anti-Aging Therapies
If you look at the media coverage of work on senolytic therapies, treatments that can clear out senescent cells and thus remove the contribution of these cells to the aging process, it is usually the case that there isn't much to distinguish it from the coverage of any random claim of progress towards anti-aging effects from either within or outside the scientific community: supplements, vitamins, diets, pharmaceuticals, and so forth. None of these other items work in the sense of repairing some of the cell and tissue damage that causes aging. The few that do slow aging do so marginally and in many cases unreliably. The ou...

Chocolate-Mint Ice Cream
Store-bought no-added-sugar ice cream is a landmine of sorbitol, maltitol, and other unhealthy sweeteners that not only act much like sugar but also provoke loose stools.
Here’s a way to make your own thick, rich ice cream without problem sweeteners and without having to endure gas and diarrhea.
If you have a dairy sensitivity in some form or you are among the people whose weight loss is stalled or prevented by dairy products (due to the insulin-provoking action of the whey fraction of protein in dairy products), replace the whipping cream with canned coconut milk. The additional custard step using egg yolks ensures a cr...

Jerry Garcia and Heroin Examined in Grateful Dead Documentary
“[Jerry was] a complicated, creatively talented and unconventional person…he had an equal proclivity for transcendence and self-destruction.”
Amir Bar-Lev’s rockumentary, Long Strange Trip, about the Grateful Dead, is aptly named for what is arguably the band’s most famous lyric: What a long, strange trip it’s been. The film takes you on a four-hour ride (much like the band’s live shows) but this is not just another indulgent music doc.
Executive-produced by Martin Scorsese, the film digs deeply into the bizarre phenomenon that surrounded “The Dead” for decades—obsessive fans, called Deadhe...

In Education, Democracy Is the Threat
When people hear “democracy,” they tend to get warm, fuzzy feelings. As the Century Foundation’s Richard Kahlenbergwrites in an article that, among other things, portrays private school choice as a threat to democracy, “public education…was also meant to instill a love of liberal democracy: a respect for the separation of powers, for a free press and free religious exercise, and for the rights of political minorities.” The fundamental, ironic problem is that both democracy and democratically controlled publi c schooling are inherently at odds with the individual rights, and even separation of powers, that Kahle...

Can hair straighteners stop your hair from being naturally curly? Episode 160
Can hair straighteners stop your hair from being naturally curly?
Sarah asks…Can straightening your hair for a long time change it from being very curly to being naturally straight?
That’s like saying bleaching your brown hair for a long time will make you naturally blonde. It doesn’t work that way because you’re only treating the hair that’s already grown out of the scalp. The chemistry and biology that determines if your hair is curly or straight happens BELOW the scalp.
Yes, there are two main factors that control hair shape. One is the shape of the follicle. We’ve used this analogy before but you can ...

Summer Fruit Cake
Labor Day weekend at the cottage with good friends. A bittersweet end to summer.
Lake swimming, hiking, biking, reading, stargazing.
Shunpiking* to discover gorgeous vistas, plump red sumac berries ripe for the picking (and drying for spice – I”ll post on that later) and the best garage sale ever.
Making Irene’s summer fruit cake to bring to an outdoor dinner party on an evening cool enough to end inside around a burning wood stove. (Thanks Rick for leaving the stove door open so we could see the fire.)

Unity Farm Journal - Third Week of July 2016
It’s the peak of summer with 90 degree temperatures and humidity that pushes the heat index to 100F. We’re also in a drought, so we’ve had to aggressively water the orchard, berries and hoop house. When we built all our agricultural areas we installed drip irrigation or microsprinklers as appropriate for the type of plant. Around the farm we have 64 irrigation zones.The cucumbers, peppers, blueberries, and basil are all ready to harvest and we’ll be bringing them to the Tilly and Salvy’s farmstand this weekend. Our blueberries are divided into 3 separate zones ...
