Jupiter Falling

A few years ago, there was much excitement surrounding something called the 'Jupiter Study', which looked at the use of statin drugs as a preventative treatment for heart disease.

It's becoming clear now that Jupiter is a textbook case study of poor science and massive conflict of interest.

Are Telomeres The Key?

At the end of each DNA strand in every cell in your body, there's a little cap. It's called a 'telomere', and each time the cell divides, the telomere gets shorter. Eventually, there's no teleomere left and the two strands of DNA begin to unravel.

Preserving and lengthening that telomere might just be the key to longer life.

HRT Study Flawed

Many of my patients have heard news reports over the last few years about risks identified in a very large study of HRT called "WHI". The identified risks are so serious that women were urged to rush to their doctors who told them to discontinue their treatment immediately.

The problem is the WHI study is deeply flawed, and the resulting hysteria may be very much misguided.
