Dalrymple: What Will Happen if I Consume Too Much Calcium?
It is tempting for people to suppose that if a little of something is good for them, then a lot of it must be better. Unfortunately this is not always or even usually the case; and I first realized that … Continue reading
Dalrymple: The Worldwide Evolution of Life Expectancy
My father’s life expectancy at birth was 48 years. He survived to be 83, and he was by several years younger at his death than his brothers and sister at their deaths. He and they lived through what has been … Continue reading
Dalrymple: How Doctors Turn Their Patients into Drug Addicts
When I was a young doctor, which is now a long time ago, patients who were close to death were often denied drugs like morphine for fear of turning them into addicts during their last weeks of earthly existence. This … Continue reading

As everyone knows, Mother Nature not only knows best but means us no harm: and therefore, the less we mess around with her and her products, the better. Although many people may have remarked, more in sorrow than in anger, … Continue reading
