Is it an auto-immune disease?
I think we’re going to discover that many diseases are auto-immune diseases, and that may be the key for dealing with them.

It does seem to be a healthy beverage. It’s too bad that it tastes so awful.
“Research has found that people who drink four or more cups a day are 53 percent less likely to commit suicide.”
If I had to drink four or more cups a day, I’d be much more likely to contemplate suicide (which is something that I never do).
It’s not an unreasonable question.

A federal appeals court has ruled that a takings lawsuit against the CDC on the eviction moratorium during covid can move forward.
Unfortunately, if the landlords win, it will be the taxpayers on the hook for this, not the bureaucrats responsible, so it’s not clear how this will create the proper disincentives.

Some interesting results on strength training. I’m more concerned with strength (and flexibility) than how big my muscles look. Though maybe if I were in the market for women I’d think differently.

I’d take it, absent any safety issues.
Jim Meigs reviews his book:
Anthony Fauci, whose early career did so much to improve human health, leaves behind a tainted legacy. He and his colleagues abused their authority, overreached on lockdowns and vaccine policies, and dissembled about dangerous research that his agency funded. The populist backlash to these excesses is still building. The public’s growing distrust of medical experts—and new skepticism toward all vaccines—is a public-health timebomb.
It is tempting to attribute Fauci’s late-career lapses to some personal moral deficiency. I think that’s the wrong tack. Fauci’s ethical shortcomings weren’t personal so much as institutional; he had been given enormous authority while being almost completely insulated from political oversight. Even the president could not easily fire him. And his centralized control over massive research budgets meant that few scientists were willing to challenge his claims or policies.
Over the decades, Fauci came to see himself as infallible. He represented “science.” Instead of welcoming contrary views, as he did during the AIDS years, the older, more thin-skinned (and more institutionally entrenched) Fauci resented criticism and tried to silence dissent. If not for the persistent pushback from a few bold scientists, journalists, and lawmakers, he might have succeeded in shutting down crucial debates entirely. No federal official should have so much power, with so little accountability, for so long.
Few people have the probity to withstand the temptations of that kind of power.
Yet another study on its supposed benefits.
They lose me right off the bat when they compare it to the “benefits” of the Mediterranean diet. I don’t think there is any value at all in restricting red meat and fat intake.
Anyway, I suspect that even if the correlation is causation, it’s not clear that it will work for everyone. If coffee has no discernible effect on me (which it doesn’t) other than making me brush my teeth more to get rid of the foul aftertaste, then it seems unlikely that I will derive any health benefits from choking the swill down.
