I am an Indian-American. The advantage of a hyphenated identity is that you can see two sides of an issue, by changing your perspective rather easily. You get used to “seeing double” in everything, be it a question of dating or marriage, education or job, or even the most modern phenomenon of [...]]]></description>

While it&#8217;s true that many drugs help people live longer and better lives, myriad others may hurt you in other ways that you don&#8217;t know about. Pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturers have to increase sales and profits, as all businesses must, and they do so in part by developing drugs to treat disease and [...]]]></description>

As a medicinal chemist, I’m often asked, &#8220;How can I live to be a 100 years old?&#8221; My answer is simple, &#8220;Learn to control blood sugar and insulin.&#8221;
