America's obesity epidemic isn't improving because the information about how to reverse it didn't lead to motivation. The government can jiggle the food pyramid, but that won't matter as long as Americans haven't stepped on to the pyramid in the first place.

The innate immune system is an essential host defense mechanism designed for early detection and containment of a wide array of pathogens. Multiple cell types and tissues participate in the ensuing inflammatory response that leads to the activation of anti-microbial defenses and the recruitment of circulating inflammatory cells.
Scientists now boast that they can predict who will live to be 100 with astounding accuracy using on a complex review of genetic markers for healthy aging. A team of Boston University researchers devised the genetic formula for longevity based on a detailed study of the DNA of centenarians. Their research, published in PLoS ONE, focused on identifying common genetic variations thought to be …

Researchers may soon be able to predict how long a person will live based on their genetics. This could result from the discovery by a University of Glasgow team in Scotland showing that telomere length on the ends of DNA in their genes in early-life predicts life spans.

DNA may be used to predict lifespan: Study
According to new research by scientists at the University of Glasgow published in the January issue in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, a good indicator of an individual's life expectancy can be obtained from early in life using the length of specialized pieces of DNA called telomeres, which occur at the ends of the chromosomes that contain our genetic code. Telomeres …
