Smoking causes cancer. That may be enough for some people, but for those interested in what happens in between, what follows is one explanation. Upon inhalation of tobacco smoke, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and certain nitrosamines are deposited in body tissue. These are metabolized by cytochrome P450 and other enzymes, forming reactive metabolic intermediates that form… Read More »Explaining Illness The post Explaining Illness first appeared on Biomedical Odyssey.| Biomedical Odyssey
As a first approximation it seems that the purpose of social media is to misrepresent medical information and to promote wellness gurus who basically have no idea what they are talking about. Part of the problem is that medical science is often complex, and the short attention-span format of social media often favors simple clean narratives. So “wellness influencers” dominate while genuine […] The post The Cholesterol Wars Continue first appeared on Science-Based Medicine.| Science-Based Medicine
