...company hired two independent pa-thologists - John Rust of the University of Chicago and Paul Newberne of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - to examine the slides of liver tissues of mice that had eaten the pesticides...
...Said he: "We do not understand how the Government can complain about the delay in submitting two scientifically insignificant, incomplete readings when the authors of those readings have subsequently stated they were meaningless." Dr. Rust, one of the authors, told TIME last week that he found tumors and severe liver damage in the mice tested but no satisfactory proof that the pesticides were a cause of cancer.

But because the body is not easily able to rid itself of the iron added by repeated blood donations, it accumulates to such an extent that by the age of 20 the heart, liver and other organs can be threatened. Looking for a way to remove the excess iron, the Rockefeller scientists turned to bacteria and fungi. In the course of billions of years, these tiny organisms have evolved complex molecules that gather up iron essential for their survival. The researchers developed similar compounds...

Any excess cholesterol is picked up by the heaviest lipoproteins, HDL, which, like garbage trucks, haul it off to the liver for disposal...
