G'day G'day Folks,

It comes as no surprise to most readers here to find Age Related
Macular Degeneration has similar risk factor to stroke and coronary
events. What might be surprising is just how powerful is the
correlation.

Medscape requires registration but it is free and they appear to be
utterly well behaved with your details. These days it is all to easy
to be swamped with information that doesn't interest one. What I like
about Medscape is that one can select one's field of interest and they
regularly email one a selection that fits one's interests.

Maybe I just like doing the little tests they provide. <grin>
It keeps the brain active and we can all do with that.

Best wishes,

G'day Quentin,

I have now been receiving the diabetes related newsletter from Medcape fo
about a decade, and consider it one of the best sources of information on
diabetes and other diseases and conditions. I have referred newly diagnosed
diabetics to it on many occasions.

The most interesting thing is that many of the dietary recommendations
you have made wrt anti-inflammatory properties, increased levels of
bioflavinoids, etc. are about the only things that *may* slow down the
progress.

obviously if you get then from your diet rather than in pills there
may be added benefits, and not just to your credit card
