You can be classified as higher than average risk if you have a family history of cancer, no genetic testing needed. In any case, the price of testing is dropping fast because sequencing is becoming so cheap.

From the WebMD coumadin drug interactions section:

Sort of. The DHSEA mentioned earlier limits their enforcement power on many supplements. They’re treated more like food than drugs. As long as they don’t make a specific health claim, they don’t have to prove anything, like “supports healthy joints” vs. “relieves joint pain”. Anything claiming the latter would need to…

I think people treat herbal supplements like food, but they’re not. They’re barely regulated pharmacologically active substances that can have serious side effects on their own, and worse when combined with other pharmaceuticals. Taking St John’s Wort with most antidepressants can cause serotonin syndrome, which can…

It has less to do with size as much as Pluto was one of a kind for a while. Ceres was considered a planet when it was first discovered because we thought it was the only thing between Mars and Jupiter. Then we started finding more objects, and decided Ceres wasn’t a planet, but the largest of a new class of objects.…

I really hope people are better than that. I had a colleague lose a family member suddenly and after she got back from the funeral and sent out an email asking for people not to bring it up. Some people thought it was brusque, but I thought it was great. I could understand how she didn’t want to have the I don’t want…

Someone actually asked you if you loved your your father because you weren’t emotional enough? I’m sorry they did that, it’s completely unacceptable. I’ve had people insinuate that about me, but never had it actually spoken. Mostly by people who believe that there is one method to grieve and if you deviate from it…

I’m sorry you have go through this, illness takes it’s toll on everyone involved.

It applies to climate change and vaccines.

I think they have trouble with the concept that autism disorders a fall on a spectrum. On one end you have people whose autism symptoms are severe and debilitating while others experience extremely mild symptoms and need extensive testing to even diagnose it. They ignore the latter and use the former as poster…

I don’t think that ad is safe for any living thing with more brain capacity than a sea sponge.

Mention something linked to developing cancer, even tenuously so, and suddenly everyone and their dog has a degree in toxicology.

If anyone honestly believes this, they overestimate their own importance and underestimate the toll those jobs take on people. Who has the time or energy for that shit?

People believe memory is a faithful recording of events, but it’s extremely fallible and tied to emotion and it’s actually shockingly easy to implant false memories (interesting article here:http://www.theguardian.com/science/2003/d…). And when they’re confronted with conflicting information they assume they’re right…

I completely agree, but there aren’t many places that do that. Until then, I will tip generously.

Several well known restaurants have done just that and I fully support it. However in most states the tipped wage is below even the minimum wage, with the expectation that tips will make up for the difference. Most business owners have gotten used to that model and may not like the burden shifted back to them.

You’re right, I have no idea what level of service the letter writer received, but that he didn’t use it as justifying a low tip I’m inclined to believe it wasn’t bad.

Genetic variation is not race, but some genetic variations cluster together. Certain ethnic groups may have higher rates of genetic mutations simply because they’re not marrying outside the ethnic group, or there’s a founder effect. But there is a lot more variation and nuance within populations than the social…

“Stiffing him by taking the 20 percent off is exactly what he deserved.”

That’s what I thought as well. During the interrogation on the train it sounded like each side thought the other was hunting and killing any newly emerged Inhumans. Didn’t Coulson make a comment about suddenly being honest in that conversation?
