Item 2: A recent analysis of primate genomes finds that shared viral inclusions reduce overall cancer risk by stabilizing the genome.

Skeptical Quote of the Week "In effect, we're all guinea pigs for the dietary supplement industry. The vast majority of these supplements don't deliver on their promises."
