Reducing / delaying risk of dementias:
Homocysteine blood levels.
Elevated blood levels of homocysteine — a type of amino acid produced
by your body — may increase your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease
and vascular dementia. When working properly, your body breaks down
homocysteine using vitamins B-6, B-12 and folic acid (B-9). If this isn't
happening properly, it may be because you don't metabolize these
vitamins well, or you don't have enough of them in your diet. Blood
tests can determine whether you have elevated homocysteine levels.
Lower
your homocysteine levels. Early research has shown that high doses of
three B vitamins — B-9 folic acid, B-6 and B-12 — help lower
homocysteine levels and appear to slow the progression of Alzheimer's
disease.

Godfather of Hindu Nationalism: Thackeray
Bal Thackeray,
right-wing nationalist of the Shiv Sena party and champion of Hindutva
(Hindu facism) recently died. Mumbai's native people, ethnic Marathi
(original inhabitants of Mumbai's state of Maharashtra) turned out in
force to mourn the death of the 86-year old admirer of Hitler's theories
of ethnic cleansing.

Boys & Girls Are Growing UP Too Fast
Boys and girls in the
USA are hitting puberty almost 2 years younger than they did in the
1970s! Obesity and estrogen-mimicking chemicals are two of the main
causes. Though long-term medical effects are of concern, perhaps even
more significant is the fact that the brain still matures at the same
old rate and life experience accumulates only so fast. This means that
pre-teens are feeling impulses and urges earlier and enduring the
consequences of risky behaviors longer.
