MAY 22: THE MAGIC OF MITOCHNDRIA :Summer Reading:
3100 foods to think about this summer: http://www.nutritionj.com/content/9/1/3

Always looking for an excuse to plug my blog (www.inositolpage.blogspot.com), so how about this?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21434479 .Think that is bull? Well, here is something to think about:

And for those who see H pylori as the explanation for everything: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111101130202.htm
Melatonin: still the most interesting hormone downplayed in my formal medical education, a reminder to stay on top of CME: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22391273
And for those who have ever wondered if the words glocal and neuroplasticity could ever make sense in the same sentence: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20957078
As for our last DL talk on cancer, a new word to learn: mitocans http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22329956

Have a great summer and please e-mail us with your ideas for future programming.
