Drink A Little Bit. Drink A Little Bit If You Can

 It is an interesting state of affairs when the research on drinking alcohol is so ambiguous that the recommendations are "U-shaped," meaning that they THINK a couple of drinks a day enhances cognition better than no drinks at all and drinking too many.

So pour yourself a strong one (or two) and think about THAT.

"The majority of studies observed a U-shaped relationship between regular alcohol consumption and cognitive function: frequent heavy consumption of alcohol alters brain functions and decreases cognitive performance; regular light and moderate consumption may have a protective impact. In many studies, total abstainers show an inferior cognitive performance than people with moderate or light consumption."

Interesting Psych Findings

Interesting Psych Findings From Quora. I find numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 13, and 15 the most interesting.

#22 and #23 are news to me. As is #15. I find it hard to believe it's that long!

Anti-Aging Gene Therapy

Here is the problem with aging:

When you are younger, you get a disease and it usually goes away. As you get older, you get a disease, then another, and then another, and they accumulate.

“We’re generally in denial that, for most of the diseases that we get these days, the root cause is aging. I don’t know 10-year-olds that get Alzheimer’s disease or heart disease.”

— David Sinclair
