Dr Goldman: Keeping the Games Clean!
Posted on May 28, 2009, 1:13 p.m. in
Dr Goldman talks with Dr Eduardo DeRose about the challenges surrounding anti doping in the Beijing Olympics. Dr DeRose has been working with the IOC for nearly 25 years, since the LA Olympics in 1984 and this summer there will be 204 countries involved with the games. The IOC has always come up with way to detect the latest doping techniques, from anabolics to testosterone, but the latest challenge will come in the form of genetic engineering. Studies with animals have shown muscle gains of over 20% and some athletes will be looking to replicate these gains to optimise their performance.

ANTI-AGING TIP OF THE DAY
275. Sustainable Environment Supports Human Health
What’s good for the planet is good for people. Researchers from Arizona State University (Arizona, USA) completed a meta-analysis of 120 peer-reviewed publications on the health effects of plastics and plasticizers in lab animals and humans. This study reiterates the fact that the effects to the environment from plastic waste are acute. In the U.S., the average person produces a half-pound of plastic waste every day, and as such, adverse effects to human health are a potential area for grave concern...
