POPSPolar Bears are not dying out, say scientists in book on popular 'scare stories' Interesting list of scare stories. The most contentious stories concern global warming, CO2 levels and artic animals dying out as a result. Some others are: ‘The Gulf Stream is not under threat’, I never heard about this one. ‘Organic food is no better for you’, claims that since plant nutrients comes from the air there really is no such thing as ‘organic food. ‘We do not know what causes heart disease’, cholesterol levels are not a factor in heart disease. Many of these ‘debunked’ stories require more research and this clip does not provide any links. So have fun with it.

POPSMaking fat disappear; or how to augment? "the study borrows strategies from synthetic biology, a field that has for the most part focused on engineering new functions into bacteria and other lower organisms. The study suggests that the same concepts could be applied to mammals: just as we create bacteria that produce biofuels, we could introduce new abilities into the bodies of humans and other animals." A new path in the road of augmenting the specification of a said specie.

POPSWhy is health care so expensive in the USA? We need to allocate health care and do what is the most efficient for the whole population. We should leave off the extraordinary end of life care and the other things that cost a lot but do not improve our quality of life. If someone wants this extraordinary treatment, they can buy a private supplemental insurance, as is done in Europe.

POPS Dear Barack: Does Your Chrysler 300C Get 35.5 MPG? ...The Obama administration claims the new measures will save 1.8 billion barrels of oil over seven years. But that claim assumes new-car buying habits continue unabated and that people will want to buy expensive, tiny cars. If people instead elect to purchase bigger, cheaper used vehicles, there will be no reduction in consumption; those used vehicles are the same "guzzlers" we're driving today. The fuel economy gains we might have seen with reasonable mileage targets for new vehicles won't be realized if fewer new vehicles are sold. Worse, the auto industry will continue to shrink because of the decrease in new-vehicle sales.

POPSRecession Is Bad for Health AAFP President Ted Epperly, MD, tells WebMD that angst has become pervasive “and so many people are trying to save,” which can be dangerous. “We’ve seen bad outcomes. I have personal knowledge of a 45-year-old male with underlying heart disease that he knew about was also diabetic. Because he lost his health insurance when he lost his job, he stopped taking his diabetes medicine, it got out of control, he had a and he died. “We know of another gentleman with bipolar disease who stopped taking his antipsychotic to save money. He became manic, lost his job, his house, and then his family.”

POPSThe epidemiology of overweight and obesity: public health crisis or moral panic? Yet despite all of the moral connotations ascribed to weight gain, we have little idea exactly why people weigh somewhat more now than they did a generation ago…. So what if the so-called ‘obesity epidemic’ is largely an illusion? What if higher than average weight turns out to have neither much medical nor moral significance? The answer to these questions, all of which we believe are strongly suggested by the epidemiological literature, go far beyond the issues of body mass and health. The current scientific evidence should prompt health professionals and policy makers to consider whether it makes sense to treat body weight as a barometer of public health. It should also make us pause to consider how propagating the idea of an ‘obesity epidemic’ furthers the political and economic interests of certain groups, while doing immense damage to those whom it blames and stigmatizes.
