Rant – Straight Talk
I’m currently tapping out a review of IDS BetaNOX – it’s another NO-booster, and a pretty effective one, too. I received a couple of sample packets in my last supp order and used one for yesterday’s workout…it’s been a while since I’ve used an NO supp, so the effects were quite noticeable. I rather liked it. But my attitude did a 180 when I looked at the label. The very first ingredient was a...
False Dichotomies
The Boston Globe ran a reasonably decent article on anti-aging supplements last week, called “Time in a Bottle.” There were, of course, the usual caveats about supplements being unregulated, and the usual experts making harrumphing noises about how consumers should be skeptical, etc. etc., but the author, Kay Lazar, gave the subject a more even-handed treatment than many mainstream writers do.

I just read about one functional food in the making, however, that looks like an...
Questioning Claims, Part I: Some Personal History
I think I was 22 or 23, when my husband brought home a used book that changed my life. The book was “Science: Good, Bad and Bogus” by Martin Gardner. A few people might recognize the name…he wrote the well-known “Mathematical Games” column that ran in Scientific American for 25 years. Gardner wrote a lot more than that, however: he was also a prolific science writer who specialized in exposing...
