100 Year old Lobster!

In jurisdictions like Maine, harvesters are required by law to throw back both undersized and oversized lobsters.  The large lobsters are more fertile and help sustain the population.  Also, the meat is tougher.

For everyone else wondering: No the lobster is not dead, he's just old as hell and when you're old moving is hard but he is alive. His eyes legs and even antennae move in this video he is alive.

fun fact: when lobsters get this old they don’t die of “old age” like humans do, their telomeres don’t wear down like humans so they can’t age to death. instead they get so massive (like this distinguished gentleman) that when they molt out of their shell it gets progressively more and more difficult, until they die in the process. that’s why he said he probably has only a couple years left, he’s reaching the limit of manageable size

Microsoft Announce Majorana 2 Quantum Chip

I still believe that Quantum Computing is not very practical.  It reportedly has limited use cases and it is very difficult and expensive to implement.

However, I suppose that it is possible that if they keep working at it, the technology could eventually be very powerful, but I think that it is going to be a long wait.

Cancer Mystery Solved: Scientists Discover How Melanoma Becomes “Immortal”

Every time a healthy cell divides, its telomeres become slightly shorter. Scientists often compare telomeres to the plastic tips on shoelaces because they help protect chromosomes from fraying or breaking apart.

Eventually, telomeres shrink to a critical length, triggering a process called replicative senescence. At that point, the cell can no longer divide. This natural limit acts as one of the body’s important defenses against cancer.

Tumors must bypass that barrier to survive.

Many cancers accomplish this by reactivating telomerase, an enzyme that rebuilds telomeres and extends a cell’s lifespan. In melanoma, mutations in the TERT gene, which produces telomerase, are especially common. About 75% of melanoma tumors carry these mutations.

But there was a puzzle researchers could not explain.

How Much Protein Do You Really Need?

From the article I calculate that I should eat 5.67 ounces of protein per day.  I don't nornally read food labels for the protein content, but now I am curious.

The Most Impressive Anti-Aging Supplement



I'm not saying that anyone should buy this, but I decided to order this product...


As always, I would like to see more research.

Google AI says the following...

GlyNAC (a combination of Glycine and N-acetylcysteine) is highly beneficial as a strategy for healthy aging, specifically by boosting natural glutathione levels.
Research indicates that as people age, their ability to synthesize glutathione—the body's "master antioxidant"—declines. GlyNAC provides the necessary precursors to restore these levels, which in turn recharges cellular "batteries" (mitochondria) and combats oxidative stress.
Key Health Benefits
Clinical trials and research studies highlight several specific areas of improvement:
  • Brain Health & Cognition: Supplementation has been shown to reverse age-associated cognitive decline and support overall brain health in both human and animal models.
  • Physical Strength & Mobility: Older adults taking GlyNAC experienced significant improvements in muscle strengthgait speed, and exercise capacity.
  • Metabolic Health: Studies found GlyNAC reduces insulin resistance and improves mitochondrial fuel oxidation, which is particularly beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes or metabolic dysfunction.
  • Cellular Protection: It reduces chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and genomic damage (DNA damage), which are key hallmarks of aging.
  • Specific Conditions: Benefits have also been observed in patients with HIV, where it helped correct premature aging defects and improved quality of life.
Comparison: GlyNAC vs. Glutathione
While one might assume taking glutathione directly is better, researchers often prefer GlyNAC because:
  • Bioavailability: Oral glutathione is often broken down in the stomach before it can be used.
  • Synthesis: GlyNAC provides the specific building blocks (glycine and cysteine) needed for cells to produce their own glutathione according to demand.
