By Krista Conger Some breast cancers return decades later. Now, researchers at Stanford, joined by collaborators at several other institutions, have subcategorized tumors to predict recurrence, guide treatment decisions and improve drug development. Molecular data obtained from breast cancer cells can be used to predict which patients are at a high risk for recurrence even...
Author’s Note: This is Part II of my egg series. To read Part I, click here. In 2015 the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued new Dietary Guidelines. Reflecting current research, they dropped the 1960s-era blanket advisory to limit dietary cholesterol to 300 mg per day or less. The 2015-2020 guidelines reflected current science that shows...
By Louis Bourgeois This series is my best attempt to bring into perspective a lifetime of study, observation, and experience. It has been my life’s work, now some 45 years since clear guidance at the age of 21 propelled me on a journey of personal development and eventual awakening. Self realization is one term used...
It was early in the morning, barely light out, as the lapping sounds of a rising tide grew more demanding. The ocean’s water was beginning to flow into some backwater areas near the end of the beach. I kept walking, threading my way among the sinew like mangrove roots that reached up to snarl my...
By Adam Marcus Homeopathy may not cure disease, but it continues to give journal editors fits, particularly at the hands of a group in Russia that has managed to publish a slew of papers on the spurious practice. The architect of the effort appears to be one Oleg Epstein, whose company, OOO NPF Materia Medica...
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), in the U.S. it’s been more than 80 years since Congress last updated the federal law designed to ensure that personal care products are safe. Although other countries have stringent regulations about what goes into that tube or plastic bottle, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t...

Recently, a reader asked me to peel back the latest nutrition advice on eggs. In particular, he requested some clarity on conflicting advice for people with diabetes. Are eggs OK to eat again? Or is the advice different for people with diabetes? About this time, another reader sent me a press release from Northwestern University,...
A successful photographer must be adept at the skills of observation. I watch all types of people in all ways necessary for my purposes. And, I’m good at doing it without detection when I choose to execute that skill set. As I wander aimlessly around various settings, feigning distraction with other thoughts, I’m actually carefully...
It was a great day in Cuenca. As usual, I woke up alert, the sun was shining and continued until mid-afternoon (although there would be rain later from the clouds that formed to the east). I met with my tour guide friend, Juan, to arrange the details of a trip to the Galapagos in June...
By Lisa Rapaport Workouts that mix up a variety of intense exercises with brief recovery periods in between may help people lose more weight than chugging along at a steady pace on a treadmill or exercise bike, a research review suggests.
