...wants but is also the only way to simultaneously harness these two great forces of human nature. If capitalism does not produce results fast enough or if segments of the population seem to be left out, it is because of limits imposed on freedom by governments or by lack of competition. Rather than fixing capitalism, we should spread it. I'm grateful for all the good work the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has done in my country, Chile.

Iron plays a very important part in the reactions in our cells that produce damaging free radicals, which glom onto cell membranes and DNA, and may translate into aging the cell. In fact, in our diets, red meat is the main source of iron, and lack of iron is probably one major reason that being vegetarian is healthy for you.

They are welcome," said one shopkeeper - a reassuring voice in a cloud of tension on the street...
...lack of definitive results is a major problem, says Dr. John Amory, who has spearheaded much of the male contraceptive research at the University of Washington. He says the science needs to progress before researchers can blame Big Pharma for dragging its heels. Amory's most recent treatment, a daily testosterone gel combined with a quarterly injection, showed a 90% success rate in trials, but, he says, "if we had a compound that was 99% effective, then the drug companies would be on board, the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] would be on board, and consumers would embrace...
