Such a good news for the holidays! Wonderful food ranking of the 100 most nutritious foods, published in PloS journal. Notice the eighth best place- pork fat: “… 8. PORK FAT 632kcal, $0.95, per 100g A good source of B vitamins and minerals. Pork fat is more unsaturated and healthier than lamb or beef fat…” And for my Bulgarian and other Balkan friends, even better, the seventh best food is the cheapest, time-filling pumpkin seeds, we grew up with. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The next step for our Forever Healthy Berlin meetup…
We are a community collaborating on how to implement our early stage rejuvenation treatments.
The world has started the transition from an era where we were utterly helpless about our aging process to one where aging is under full medical control, and age-related diseases are a thing of the dark past.

BEIJING, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) — A Chinese research group has identified a gene variant that plays a key role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease in Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in China.
The study was recently published by the National Science Review, an English journal affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills and the ability to carry out simple tasks. The disease affects about 48 million people worldwide, and the number is expected to increase with the aging population. There is no effective cure.
But in the grander context of human history, 2018 was an extraordinarily positive year. In fact, every year has been getting progressively better.
Before we dive into some of the highlights of human progress from 2018, let’s make one thing clear. There is no doubt that there are many overwhelming global challenges facing our species. From climate change to growing wealth inequality, we are far from living in a utopia.

On the second balmy day of the year in New York, Neil Harbisson, a Catalan artist, musician, and self-professed “cyborg,” walked into a café in the Nolita district of Manhattan. The actor Gabriel Byrne was sitting at a table in the corner. Harbisson approached. “May I do a sound portrait of you? It will just take one minute. For nine years, I’ve been listening to colors,” he explained.
Byrne eyed his questioner from under raised eyebrows. On a slight frame, the 30-year-old Harbisson wore a white T-shirt, deep-pink jeans and black-and-white showman’s brogues. His face was angular, with an aquiline nose and a chin smudged with grown-out stubble. A small plastic oval floated in front of his forehead, attached to the end of a flexible stem that reached around from the back of his head and over a sandy pageboy mop, like the light on the head of an angler fish. This “eyeborg,” as Harbisson calls it, converts light into audible sound, with a pitch that varies according to the color of the light.
