PS: Supplement Your Mind
As the US population continues to age, many researchers have focused their attention towards treating age-related mental decline. There is no magic elixir that will stop time, but a recent discovery by researchers at Princeton University found that new neurons (brain cells) in monkeys could, at least in part, be replaced. Up until this discovery, it was thought that damaged neurons were irreplaceable. The implications of the Princeton findings are quite exciting and researchers believe that such cell replacement is possible in humans as well. The research concluded that, with the right nutrients, such as Phosphatidyl Serine (PS), new cells could easily be formed, reversing brain damage and preserving good cognitive function well into old age.

What’s On Tap?
The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), an environmental action organization, recently conducted an in-depth study into the quality of drinking water across the United States. Reviewing the tap water quality data for 19 major US cities, including Los Angeles, they compiled their findings and made them available to the public in June of 2003. 11 contaminants were labeled to be of "high concern" or "some concern" for the LA area's water supply. Since much of Los Angeles and Orange County drinking water comes from the same two sources, the Colorado River and Northern California, this information should be of note to those living in the Orange County area.
