Please be aware that much of this blog (but not all) does not make for particularly happy reading. However its main purpose is to help inform rather than entertain.
If you're feeling a bit down or would rather keep your head in the sand, you might want to go elsewhere.
On the other hand, if you understand the gravity of the current global eco-political-social situation and its implications for the future, or would like to, then please stick around - like never before this planet is in the most dire need of an informed citizenry.

Healthy lifestyle triggers genetic changes
[ftp] Comprehensive lifestyle changes including a better diet and more exercise can lead not only to a better physique, but also to swift and dramatic changes at the genetic level, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
In a small study, the researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy.
The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise such as walking for half an hour a day, and an hour of daily stress management methods such as meditation.
After the three months, the men had changes in activity in about 500 genes -- including 48 that were turned on and 453 genes that were turned off. The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of disease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
