Prostate cancer affects everyone, not just men. Whe n a man gets pros t a t e cancer, it cha n ge s his life. And that affects everyone close to him — friends and family, men and women. That’s why on our cover we have shown the faces of many people — fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, physicians, scientists, and others. They are as committed as we are to finding better treat- ments and, eventually, a cure. Family histories and genes may hold the key to solving part of the prostate cancer puzzle. When a man gets prostate cancer, it affects everyone close to him. A man is one-third more likely to get pros t a t e cancer than a woman is to get breast cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, striking 220,000 new men each year. There is one new case every 2 ½ minutes. As baby boomer men reach the target zone for prostate cancer, beginning at age 50, the number of new cases is projected to increase dramatically. By 2015, there will be more than 300,000 new prostate cancer cases each year, a 50% increase. Stua r t Hol d en ,M .

Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • The Truth About Fat: the Latest Update February 24Th 2016 Cathy Mazanec, MPH, RDN, CSSD, LDN
    The Truth about Fat: The Latest Update February 24th 2016 Cathy Mazanec, MPH, RDN, CSSD, LDN I recently attended a Fat Summit hosted by Integrative and Functional Medicine physician, Mark Hyman, MD, Director of the Center for Functional Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Hyman invited some of the most prestigious U.S. researchers to join this online Summit to share their individual research data. This academic bench of researchers and thought leaders was deep, some of whom included: Ronald Krause, MD; Daniel Amen, MD; Jeffrey Bland, PhD; Michael Roizen, MD; Chris Kresser, MS, LAc; Walter Willett, MD; David Perlmutter, MD; Dean Ornish, MD. I was so excited to finally hear the latest update about dietary fats and end the great fat debate once and for all. What a long awaited relief this would be…… This could not have been further from the truth!! Consistent with the pattern I’ve seen over my 37 year career, nutrition research from highly respected scholars often conflicts. The reason for this is each researcher is looking at a different piece of the same puzzle. In this case, the effect of a certain dietary fat on one piece of the puzzle may be very different from the effect that fat has on another piece of the puzzle. Hence, each researcher may have a different viewpoint and recommendation about the dietary fat being studied. So a lot of questions still remain unanswered but some information is very clear. Here's a snippet of the latest research regarding dietary fat and what we need to know ……….
