Drugs, money and your heart
I was really excited to see a recent headline that said heart doctors should discuss herbal medicines with their patients. The recommendation came from a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.1
I thought this was a real breakthrough. I thought it meant cardiologists had finally seen the light…
Boy, was I wrong…
The article said doctors should learn about herbal medicines so they could STOP their patients from using them.
You see, supplement use is at an all-time high. About 70% of Americans take them.
That’s a lot of people. And Big Pharma would love to capture that market. So they have a re...

Ohio Resource Libraries: Tour Day 2
I’ll bet you wondered what happened to the posts for the second and third day of our journey! Well, the charger for my laptop was mislaid at the airport (likely O’Hare) and my laptop became an expensive paperweight for the remainder of the trip. My plans to use the computer at the hotel were dashed when we stayed at a decidedly dodgy Hawthorn Inn and Suites near Toledo, which didn’t have such luxuries.
On the second day of our journey across Ohio, we got up at the crack of dawn (not Linda’s favorite time of day) to visit Northeast Ohio Medical University in Rootstown, Ohio. There, we met with Tom ...

Elon Musk ’s Moon Mission Is Exciting, Audacious … and Iffy
Elon Musk has been known to keep only few books on the shelf behind his desk at the SpaceX factory floor in Hawthorne, Calif. Most of them are basic books on rocket design. The remaining one is Einstein, the biography of the great physicist, by former TIME editor Walter Isaacson. There’s an odd push-pull in a man like Musk, who is humble enough to own a space launch company and yet still keep his how-to-build-a-rocket-ship books on display, and ambitious enough to make it clear who his role model appears to be.
It was that ambitious dimension of Musk that was on fullest display this week when he announced that late n...

The apple maggot fly -- how an altered sense of smell could drive the formation of new species
(National Centre for Biological Sciences) Scientists from the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bangalore have gained insights into how evolution can be affected by a change in how an organism senses smells. Using apple flies as models, these scientists have shown that a switch in the wiring of two channels in the brain -- one coding for detection of hawthorn fruit smells, and one for apple, can potentially drive the formation of new species.

The Scoop On Finding A Healthy Plant-Based Protein Powder
Conclusion
After completing this study, and factoring in the above, of all the plant based proteins I have tried, I would personally choose Nutiva's Plant Protein Superfood 30 Shake in either vanilla or chocolate as my top choice. For me it is obvious since Nutiva is actually certified organic, is at a great affordable price, low in sugars (and not stevia) and has a great taste.
Serving suggestion: Add 2 tablespoons of Hempseeds to your shake for an extra 8g of Protein and 1.7g Omega-3.Consider the addition of 1 tablespoon of Nutiva Coconut Manna (ie coconut butter) and water to eliminate the need for buying cartons of al...

Elon Musk: SpaceX Launch Explosion Is 'Most Difficult' Failure In 14 Years
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept 9 - SpaceX founder and chief Elon Musk said on Friday he was unsure why one of the company’s Falcon rockets burst into flames on its Florida launch pad last week, destroying both the rocket and an Israeli communications satellite it was due to lift into orbit.
“Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years,” Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who is also the chief executive of Telsa Motors, wrote on Twitter.
