Does he have any peer reviewed articles/research? Have any others in the field...

    Prostate Problems: Peatian Views?

    A friend of mine just found he has a very enlarged prostate. His doctor said it was "as big as a baseball." Prostate hasn't been on my Peat radar very much because I haven't had that problem myself. And I don't remember seeing much on prostate problems here on this board. I know Peat would...

    Melatonin

    Considering Peat considers melatonin a stress hormone, does he recommend waking up every few hours to turn on a light or leaving a light on while you sleep? It seems to make sense to limit melatonin production, but also seems like it would prevent proper sleep. Strangely enough, since I cleaned...

    I'm rereading Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything" and he has a chapter on cells. He brings a pretty broad perspective to his writing. I thought a couple quips might be of interest. My $.02 for the day.
