Might not necessarily be better, just different to satisfy the claim "BPA free".


What I don't get is how they are marketing their honey around containing higher amounts of something which has putatively negative qualities?

> Methylglyoxal, a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound, is inevitably formed as a by-product of glycolysis. Methylglyoxal is a major cell-permeant precursor of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are associated with several pathologies including diabetes, aging and neurodegenerative diseases. In normal situations, cells are protected against methylglyoxal toxicity by different mechanisms and in particular the glyoxalase system, which represents the most important pathway for the detoxification of methylglyoxal. While the neurotoxic effects of methylglyoxal and AGEs are well characterized, our understanding the glyoxalase system in the brain is more scattered

If anyone here is giving, don't forget to check if your employer provides a matching fund. Many large companies do, so you can effectively double your donation.


> The goal is to slow down the process of aging in order to allow humans to live longer.

I think he'd say living longer for remaining disease-free would just be a happy side-effect.

That said, there many companies working on aging biology now: http://agingbiotech.info/companies/

One distinction is that ventoy is straight open source software. easy2boot is free (no cost), but appears to be a mix of open source and closed source software.


They do.

Can be used it to interact with the execution of the current program. It is simple as appending further code with a label and jumping to it using goto. I first noticed it in 2007 started using it in production.


The latest news on the compound is from April 2019: https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-04/nb-nba041019...

If anyone is interested in a talk by one of the authors (Kevin Strange), he goes into the history of the compound here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aAr5pKW9Dw
