I haven’t been happy with anything I’ve started to post lately. Here’s my pick of this week’s posts which are all much better than mine:

Nutrition

Ruth at Eating Fabulous wrote about a paper in Cell concerning vitamin K and osteocalcin: the “formation of osteocalcin is dependent on Vitamin K” and “osteocalcin appears play a role in glucose metabolism by regulating the cells that produce insulin in the pancreas and release it into the bloodstream”.

Cancer

Gloria blogged about a new study that indicates tha a diabetes medication might be effective against cancer: “Tumor cells that lack the regulatory gene p53 can be killed by the widely-prescribed diabetes drug Metformin”.

Heart Health

Kendra James wrote this week about “what happens to my heart during sex“. Apparently there are 4 stages our hearts go through: Arousal, Plateau, Orgasm and Resolution.

Women’s Health

Kristen at Lively Women discussed issues concerning breast enhancement surgery while contemplating her friends decision to have it done. What are your thoughts on this surgery?
