Alzheimer Disease and Antioxidants
At the present time, one out of ten adults have some form of Alzheimer disease. According to Dr. Greengard, Director of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research at the Rockefeller University, that number is expected to strike up to three times as many in the coming decades. Alzheimer's is considered a disease of the elderly and with the average lifespan of the US population rising to 74, a solution to the medical problem is being sought. For Scientists the largest concern is what causes Alzheimer's and how can it be eradicated. For possible victims and their families it is how do we ...

Benefits of Green Tea and Cancer Prevention
Tea and Cancer Prevention Tea drinking is an ancient tradition dating back 5,000 years in China and India. Long regarded in those cultures as an aid to good health, researchers now are studying tea for possible use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of cancers. Investigators are especially interested in the antioxidants-called catechins-found in tea. 1. What are antioxidants? The human body constantly produces unstable molecules called oxidants, also commonly referred to as free radicals. To become stable, oxidants steal electrons from other molecules and, in the ...

Stem Cell Advance Muddles Debate
A Harvard University advance in generating embryonic stem cells may have the unintended consequence of hindering congressional efforts to lift research restrictions imposed by President Bush four years ago, leaders on both sides of the issue said yesterday as details of the discovery traveled through the scientific and political communities. (Washington Post, 23 August 2005)
Researchers discover mechanism for multiplying adult stem cells
Although adult stem cell research isn't fraught with the controversies that surround embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells are extremely difficult to isolate and then to multiply in a lab dish. Now, as reported in the May 6 issue of the journal Cell, researchers in the lab of Whitehead Institute Member Rudolf Jaenisch have discovered a mechanism that might enable scientists to multiply adult stem cells quickly and efficiently.

Senate leader predicts stem cell vote within month (Reuters)
Reuters - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said on Wednesday he hoped to have a vote within a month on the controversial issue of expanding federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Whirled views on stem cell research
Editorial page editor Ken Neal, in Sunday's Tulsa Whirled, displays both ignorance and disingenuousness on the issue of federal funding for stem cell research. Where to begin with this mess? It's difficult to understand President Bush's opposition to embryonic stem-cell research. The president appears to believe that "life" is being destroyed to "save life" if the fertilized human eggs headed for destruction are used for medical research. Ken, if it's a fertilized human egg, it is life -- a distinct human being that will, unless it's destroyed, grow into a potential Tulsa Whirled subscriber. (You're losing those quickly enough as...
NY Times:
As Vote Nears, DeLay Attacks Bill Expanding Stem Cell Research. "'Once people understand the issue,' said the majority leader, Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, 'more than 70 percent are against embryonic stem cell research.'" Now there's a new method for quoting stats: "Once they understand." But the GOP has a conflict; actual poll numbers say 57% of their own party are OK with embryonic stem cell research.

Thomas Jefferson and the Chinese Gong
While Richard Nixon’s diplomatic visit to China may have created a minor thaw in Sino-US relations, he was not the first President to try to get in sync with the Chinese. Thomas Jefferson preceded him by close to two centuries. Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, happened to be (in contrast to the current US President) an intelligent man, amazing inventor and, as DNA tests have shown, most likely a randy advocate of miscegenation. We now may envision that when the Continental Congress celebrated Thanksgiving together, which type of meat – light or dark - Jeffer ...
