"and lifestyle intervention". You're supposed to use the drugs to help you get healthy, then stay healthy yourself once you've re-set. Yes, people will probably have to bounce on and off them, but that's not the sa

I agree, which is why most people aren't just taking the drug. They're using the drug to help improve overall health, from better eating, reduced obesity related issues (joints/sleep/metabolism) and are able to start get

Absolutely nonsensical, in what way do the way the vote was given impact the outcome? Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lo

My very basic understanding is you customise the mRNA payload towards the immune system targetting the mutating cells that have caused cancer in a patient (after the cancer material has been surgically removed). This prevents the cancer fro

Also, the logical conclusion of that argument is we should do more about vehicle accidents, not ignore Covid-19!

We do (or did) have modular options. The Chromecast audio was almost perfect in this regard, a $25 dongle that could be added to any amp/speaker setup and do all the 'smart' you needed including multiroom. Google have pulled

I enjoyed the Obesity Code which focuses on fasting and insulin resistance, would work well with other books on diet composition.

One more important aspect: cost. In my country mass transit is bizarrely more expensive than private.

The Manx do pay tax, up to 20% income tax and 17.5% VAT (sales tax). Yes, it's low, but a little place with no need for military is cheap to run. There's plenty of countries with lower rates than that: https://en.wikipe

How do you separate avoidance of tax with competition between taxation venues? The IOM (and other small jurisdictions) cannot compete with larger countries on manufacturing and other big industry, but their small size and low cost of govern

I get the last mile isn't literal but I think many use the lack of transport facilities as an excuse and forget about walking.

£1.50 is about what it costs me here (the grim north) to go around 3 miles. If you only wanted to go one stop, you wouldn't pay £1.50, but if it was free you might take the bus. This is the response from the bus people when I've d

Any example of the Dutch bike experience ignore the most important fact: it's flat! Add hills and bikes are a lot less viable for the masses. Electric bikes help flatten out the landscape, but they're currently too expensive to le
