My sister directs my attention to new research that suggests acute cardiovascular exercise can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells. What I found most interesting is that the mechanism through which this takes place appears to be the same one I myself identified here.
Mexico is now the world's most obese nation. This should reiterate the fact that there is no such thing as a "western diet."
Joseph Stiglitz makes a series of frankly awesome points about how free trade agreements are really anything but, before ultimately descending into his more typical leftist angling. Joseph Stiglitz: great economist, nutty politician. (Hat tip goes to Jonathan Finegold Catalan.)
