Five Reasons Why Restrictive Diets Do More Harm Than Good
If you’re anything like the vast majority of the population, you started this year with one of these goals as a top priority: “get in shape”, “lose weight”, “get fit” or “get healthy”.
I get it. For the longest time my Januarys started with a rigid healthy eating plan to get back in shape and lose the holiday bulge.
Having tried almost every diet imaginable, it’s clear that most diets we follow do one of two things, they either restrict calories or restrict food groups. Even so-called it’s not a diet but a lifestyles are still a diet because you cut the amount of food, or food groups (despite th...

A Brief History of Hard and Soft Landings
Alan ReynoldsThis year marks the thirteenth time since 1954 that the Federal Reserve Board ’s policy‐making Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) began gradually ratcheting up the federal funds rate on bank reserves in a series of recurring steps. Eventually, however, the rate increases always stopped and the FOMC began bringing the “fed funds rate” back down.The inevitable series of interest rate reductions most often did not begin until recession had already begun, or too shortly before, so those monetary policy experiments are now looked back on as “hard landings.”Whenever the rate increases stopped in ti...

Over the past 2 years, you’ve probably heard a lot about the spread of SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—and the emergence of variants. The discovery and tracking of these variants is possible thanks to genomic surveillance, a technique that involves sequencing and analyzing the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles from many COVID-19 patients. Genomic surveillance has not only shed light on how SARS-CoV-2 has evolved and spread, but it has also helped public health officials decide when to introduce measures to help protect people.
In December 2021, the N...

E ‑Cigarettes as Harm Reduction for Pregnant Tobacco Smokers
Jeffrey A. SingerLast week U.K. researchers published a study providing more evidence of the harm ‐reduction potential of nicotine containing e‑cigarettes—this time for pregnant women who smoke tobacco.The randomized controlled trial, begun in 2019, included 1,140 participants from 24 UK hospitals. Pregnant women who smoked were placed on either nicotine patches or refillable nicotine e ‑cigarettes to replace tobacco. The researchers found both replacement methods to have an equal safety profile. However, low birth weight was less frequent among the e‑cigarette arm of the study compared to the nicotine pa...

Politicizing Business, From Florida to California
David BoazGovernment subsidies and other aid to private corporations are inefficient. They distort the market process and channel valuable resources to companies chosen by government, not by consumers. They are also subject to political influence. It ’s an old story, government decisionmakers awarding contracts, loans, and grants to companies run by their relatives, friends, donors, or allies. During the Obama administration, a major Obama donor andformer vice president Al Gore profited heavily from “green energy” subsidies. President Trump tried to hold the G7 Summit at his own Florida hotel, allowing him to ra...

Hallucinations are surprisingly common and varied experiences
By Emma Young
Many mentally well people experience hallucinations. An estimated 6 – 15% of us hear, see, feel or even smell things that aren’t real. But there has been little research into what those hallucinations are like — and how they might differ from those experienced by people with psychosis. Now Mascha M.J. Linszen at Utrecht University and her colleagues report the results of a large study of more than 10,000 people aged 14 to 88. The work, published in Schizophrenia, throws up a few surprises among a host of interesting findings.
The team’s online survey was open to anyone aged over 14 who ...

Smart Stent Monitors Hemodynamics
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a smart stent that can monitor hemodynamic parameters. The wireless and battery-free device can transmit the data to the outside of the body, and is powered through a wireless energy transfer system that uses magnetic fields, similar to wireless chargers that are available for many smartphones. The system could be helpful in long-term monitoring and aid patients with cardiovascular issues to avoid repeated angiograms. It can also potentially function as an early warning alarm for issues such as changes in blood pressure.
Stents are invaluable in treating ...
