The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D. by Michael Eades Comments 33 A little over ten years ago, I wrote a review for Dr. William Davis’s bestselling book Wheat Belly. I started that review with a description of the changes in health that came about when early man switched from a hunter-gatherer diet to an agricultural-grain-based diet. The changes were not for the better. Comments 21 For those who can remember that far back, I started this series of book reviews of my favorite 52 books of 2020 way back in January. Comments 22 You should know the story from the last post I wrote about why I’m posting these 13 books instead of the whole list of 52. Comments 84 I read a lot of books in 2020, and most of them were pretty good. What follows is my second favorite Christmas story of all time. Comments 4 In case you’re just dropping in after not being on the site for a while, you’ll notice a different look. Comments 40 Comments 174 As I suggested in my last post, you should watch the embedded video to study up for this post. Comments 141
caloriegate Beware the Fausts of Neuroscience Theatre of dreams: The results of an fMRI scan (Wellcome Collection) "I rejoice to concur with the common reader; for by the common sense of readers, uncorrupted by scientific prejudices, after all the refinements of subtility and the dogmatism of learning, must be finally decided all claim to honours." Dr Johnson didn't say "scientific" (he said "literary"), and the word "poetical" came before "honours", yet his message still applies. As a minister for science I was acutely aware of this. I arrived with my own prejudices. One example. As we contemplate the utopian claims of some branches of scientific inquiry today, the damage he and a generation of sympathisers and fellow travellers (including Joseph Needham, and to a lesser extent C.P. All this comes to mind as I try to keep abreast of neuroscience. A new and precocious discipline, functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI, is a mere two decades old. So, another millennium, another blissful dawn. Paranoid?
Gary Taubes Gary Taubes is the American author of Nobel Dreams (1987), Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion (1993), and Good Calories, Bad Calories (2007), titled The Diet Delusion (2008) in the UK and Australia.[1] His book Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It was released in December 2010. In December 2010, Taubes launched a blog at GaryTaubes.com to promote the book's release and to respond to critics. His main hypothesis is that carbohydrates stimulate the secretion of insulin, which causes the body to store fat.[2] Biography[edit] Scientific controversies[edit] Taubes' books have all dealt with scientific controversies. Nobel Dreams takes a critical look at the politics and experimental techniques behind the Nobel Prize-winning work of physicist Carlo Rubbia. In Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion, he chronicles the short-lived media frenzy surrounding the Pons–Fleischmann cold fusion experiments of 1989.

Fat Head - Blog site for the comedy-documentary Fat Head Diet Doctor - Real food for your health Leaders of controversial neutrino experiment step down - physics-math - 30 March 2012 Read more: "Neutrinos: Complete guide to the ghostly particle" The supposedly super-speedy neutrinos may have slowed, but they haven't stopped creating turmoil in the physics world. Two leaders of the OPERA experiment behind the controversial result stepped down this week. Spokesperson Antonio Ereditato of the University of Bern in Switzerland turned in his resignation on 29 March, and physics coordinator Dario Autiero of the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Lyon, France, resigned on 30 March. Both cited tensions within the collaboration as the reason for their departures. In September, the OPERA collaboration reported that they had measured neutrinos making the 730-kilometre trip from CERN in Switzerland to the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy 60 nanoseconds faster than if they had been travelling at light speed. The result, however, seems to be down to experimental error. Two camps "We received a lot of criticism" about announcing the result, says Stanco. Too distracting
Article : L’agriculture : arme de destruction ? Et si ne consommer que du végétal était un acte de destruction massive pour la planète ? Et si la consommation excessive de végétaux nuisait à notre santé ? Lierre Keith qui a été végétalienne durant 20 ans. Petite agricultrice et féministe, elle pose un constat alarmant sur l’état d’une planète qui se perd à travers une mono culture agricole intensive. De plus, selon l’auteure du « Mythe végétarien », l’alimentation basée uniquement sur le végétal pourrait bien avoir ses limites sur la bonne santé. Vous parlez d'une forme d'hypocrisie au sein du végétarisme. Lierre Keith : Les plantes sont aussi vivantes que des animaux. Vous dites que la consommation de plantes a induit l’industrie agricole à développer des monocultures de masse. Lierre Keith : Les gens doivent comprendre ce qu’est l'agriculture. Et pour notre santé ? Lierre Keith : En matière de santé, notre civilisation marque le début du militarisme, de l'esclavage, et d’une faim institutionnalisée. Lierre Keith : Oui.
