Seventy-five to eighty percent of all chemistry evaporates within six to eight months unless their relationship is significantly undergirded by deeper and more durable compatibility. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren

If you can trade successfully for at least three consecutive months in a demo account, and if you are doing everything correctly, then feel free to progress to live trading. Your first live account should be a “micro” account, one that allows you to trade live, but at the same time allows for little risk. It’s difficult (but not impossible) to get hurt when you’re trading EUR/USD for 10 cents per pip. If you continue to trade well in your micro account, move up to a “mini” account, one where EUR/USD has a value of $1 per pip. [2010] - Ed Ponsi

Each time gold has rallied, rare coins have risen much faster. [2008] - Shayne McGuire

A toothpaste’s ideal ingredients would be nonabrasive silica, enough sodium fluoride to strengthen teeth, and no glycerin. In the late 1950s, the original Crest formulation passed randomized clinical trials and showed it could stop cavities before they start. It has been my toothpaste of choice for three decades. If you have gum recession, be sure to avoid any toothpaste that contains glycerin, salt, peroxide, coconut oil, or baking soda, since these can upset biofilm health by dissolving its foundational proteins. If you have a dry mouth or sensitivity, my advice is to avoid all the pastes advertised for sensitive teeth. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The term cancer chemoprevention was introduced by the NIH in 1976 to denote foods, supplements, or drugs that may block progression of cancer. One of the most promising chemopreventive drugs is the old diabetes drug metformin. Studies have demonstrated that in type 2 diabetics, metformin may potentially reduce the risk of cancer by as much as 21 percent to 57 percent. Specifically, long-term metformin use in women with type 2 diabetes was associated with a more than 50 percent reduction in breast cancer risk. Metformin works by reducing glucose to the growing cancer without the pro-growth effects of the insulin/IGF-1/PI3K pathway. It also activates AMPK, an important nutrient sensor and growth pathway, which rapidly inhibits cellular protein synthesis and growth. Some research has indicated that this beneficial anticancer effect might extend to nondiabetics as well. [2020] - Jason Fung
