About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

You who rally about names supporting a "theoretical nutrition" label! Awesome!
:) I kid of course.
I believe it would be possible to do what you suggest - and my fervent reading of scifi books from the 50's makes me hope it will be possible _soon_. I also fear the path to get there will be through failed products and an industry bent on exacting a fee, potentially outweighing any benefits.
In the end, when looking at the systems of animals (us included), there are so many existing unknowns that I have a hard time believing that our current understanding should allow us to even experiment with people in this area.
The generation before us accepted on faith the promise of science based food and we have grown up with them in our lives - I wonder that it was premature given that even now we publish studies contradicting the effects of wine...(or coffee, or fat, etc..) Not an alarmist, just a person who wonders aloud. :)
