Last time I visited my doctor, he was telling me that they don’t eat meat one day per week. He thought I could give that a try. One day per week, I make a brisket, and would not be joining his cult.
HHS has my back, and my doctor is on the wrong side of history.
JAMA: Coffee and Tea Intake, Dementia Risk, and Cognitive Function
Findings In this prospective cohort study of 131 821 individuals from 2 cohorts with up to 43 years of follow-up, 11 033 dementia cases were documented. Higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Decaffeinated coffee intake was not significantly associated with dementia risk.
Drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee resulted in half as many people getting dementia. You can read the entire study, or stop being a pussy and have a cuppa joe.
Interesting research about how pet ownership improves brain health. Okay, the research is actually really boring and the graphs are terrible, but the results are interesting.
Having a dog can make your brain perform like it’s 15 years younger. Cats do as well, but fish and birds don’t help at all.
New federal guidelines insist that we should “Eat real food.” I could not agree more.
A couple of months ago, I stopped at a beverage store to pick up some beer for a social event. I was in a hurry, and picked up non-alcoholic beer by mistake. Fortunately, there was a recovering alcoholic in the group, so it didn’t go to waste, but that stuff should come with an obvious warning label.
I am a recent convert to the coffee club. I keep it simple, but understand why the more sophisticated might grind their own beans or use a more exotic brewing method. I don’t understand the point of decaffeinated coffee. That’s like having chocolate without cocoa.
UPI: Study: Long-term use of CBD supplements lowers aggression in dogs
Dogs given food supplements containing hemp-derived cannabidiol, or CBD, over a span of several years show reduced levels of aggression, according to a veterinary study published Friday.
Sparky supports all food supplements. He doesn’t care what’s inside. Marijuana, beef byproducts, pulverized raccoons, it’s all good.
I don’t blame him, Sparky lives in the moment.
I made a batch of cocktail meatballs yesterday. Since it’s Thanksgiving, I gave Sparky a meatball this morning after his morning toilet. He isn’t even done licking the juice off of his snout, when he is wondering what I’ve done for him lately.

WSJ: Old Age Will Be Different in the Robotic Age
Machines could soon help elders get out of bed, bathe them, even provide them with emotional support.
I always figured this problem would be solved by the Japanese inventing competent Elder-bots, the Chinese making cheap knock-offs and an American start-up company offering free robots that tended to the feeble as it harvested confidential medical information to defraud Medicaid. That won’t happen.
Efforts to remove fluoride from drinking water make steady progress amid mainstream headwinds
A growing movement to remove fluoride from public drinking water is gaining steam, fueled by modern research and safety concerns.
Everybody has teeth and billions of dollars goes to medical research. It shouldn’t be difficult to get an answer on fluoride and clearly explain the results.
