Science magazine is now selecting prize winning web sites that explain science clearly. The first prize winner is Learn.genetics. An essay that fascinated me explains telomeres in the context of aging and cancer, including the role of free radicals, causing oxidative stress, and glycation, causing wrinkles, both of which occur more slowly as we get antioxidants in our diets. Read about telomeres and aging here.

PERSONAL COMMENT: I am honored that so many people around the world have asked to receive my summaries of the latest peer-reviewed nutrition research. Having studied nutrition for many decades, I recognize that my summaries often reflect my scientific prejudices. Please read the brief article about the likely benefit of vitamin C and E supplements for telomere length and human health to see how heavily my beliefs may influence Nutrition Investigator notes. Going to professional meetings, I recognize my beliefs are debatable by others. You must read the articles at the links and discuss these comments with your health professional before acting on this information, as noted in the site disclaimer. And you are encouraged to ask questions, through the link at Site Author at the top of each page. One goal of these messages is to help you be conscious of what you put in your body. Thank you for the many kind responses and insightful questions I receive in return.
