No, the Poor Don ’ t Always Have to Be With Us
BY KIM BELLARD OK, for you amateur (or professional) epidemiologists among us: what are the leading causes of death in the U.S.?  Let’s see, most of us would probably cite heart disease and cancer.  After that, we might guess smoking, obesity, or, in recent years, COVID.  But a new study has a surprising contender: poverty.    It’s the kind of thing you might expect to find in developing countries, not in the world’s leading economy, the most prosperous country in the world. But amidst all that prosperity, the U.S. has the highest rates of poverty among developed countries, which accounts in no small part ...

The Influence of Chronic Inflammation on the Hallmarks of Aging
Chronic inflammation is a feature of aging, a continual activation of the immune response without any triggering injury or infection. Many different mechanisms contribute to this state of unresolved inflammatory signaling: the accumulation of senescent cells and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP); mitochondrial dysfunction leading to mislocalized mitochondrial DNA that triggers an innate immune reaction; signaling from visceral fat cells in those who are overweight; changes in the gut microbiome and intestinal barrier that allow microbes and microbial metabolites to provoke the immune system; and so on an...

Rationing Health Care
Lately we ' ve touched upon the absurd cost of medical services in the U.S. -- we spend twice as much as the next biggest spender and three or four times as much as others -- and we ' re less healthy for it. There are a few reasons for this, but here I ' m going to touch the third rail.In the United States, in contrast to other nations, if the FDA approves a treatment, insurance has to pay for it. The FDA does not consider cost, but only whether there is evident of clinical benefit that outweighs risks or (non-financial) harms. The definition of benefit and harm, and how to value them, is of course far from obvious, but we...

Psychedelic Science 2023 – Full Conference Review
In June I attended the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. We were told this was the largest psychedelic-related gathering in the history of the planet, attracting about 12,000 attendees and 500 speakers.

The Colorado Convention Center is sizable, and sessions were spread across many different rooms. Even though I didn’t do extra exercise on this trip, I was typically hitting about 1000 calories ...
