Emerging science is showing us that a natural protein produced in many mammals, including humans, called tristetraprolin plays a critical role in the development, progression, and possibly treatment of inflammatory conditions such a rheumatoid arthritis, dermatitis, cancer, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. Tristetraprolin, TTP for short, interacts with RNA in complex ways that regulate gene expression and […]

In recent decades the height of children and adults has steadily increased throughout the world. The largest increase in height in recent decades is found in the Netherlands. Dutch men are now 20 cm taller than they were 150 years ago. Interestingly, in the Netherlands the per capita consumption of milk and dairy products is […]

In the 1920s, a Nobel Prize-winning cell biologist named Dr. Otto Warburg made a discovery–that cancer cells produce energy differently than other, healthy cells. Instead of using aerobic respiration like the rest of our cells do, cancer cells use the process of fermentation to produce energy. You’ve probably heard statements like “cancer thrives in an acidic […]
