Glenn's post sounds like something my recently-retired-ex-boss was talking about the other day, and he thought there might be something in it but was slightly skeptical (clinician, professor, cancer scientist, very good in-depth knowledge of cellular energy metabolism, so I respect his views on such things).

Fragile Do Not Bend
I can’t work out if that article is real or a spoof. Until recently I would have said definitely spoof, but after reading some people’s genuine beliefs about the turpentine ‘cleanse’, I don’t know what to think any more.

If you’re searching for the perfect gift to give the stylish canine in your life this holiday season, then look no further than the infinity scarf for dogs featured in barefoot-walking manual Goop’s 2017 holiday gift guide. Perfect for the pooch who has everything (food, water, shelter), the $20 infinity scarf by Fabdog is 100-percent acrylic and also 100 percent for dogs. The fuzzy, knit neck blanket ranges in size from extra-small to large, but it’s only available in fire-engine red, so be sure to only use it on breeds whose fur doesn’t clash with that hue. It’s the most festive way to anthropomorphize your pup for the holidays. |

When strategizing our annual personality-driven gift guides, our MO has always been of the more-is-more variety. So in the spirit of overachieving, we've added two new dedicated guides—one for dudes, one for pets—and two new cities to our IRL goop GIFT experience: Miami and Newport Beach, in addition to an updated location for New York. Happy GIFTing!

Every year I rejoice that the German word Gift means poison.

POC Fondo Overshoes (Seaborgium Blue). Seaborgium is element 106, an artificial element with a number of isotopes, all highly unstable. No-one has ever seen a piece of Seaborgium in order to determine its colour, and in the unlikely event of being able to produce enough to do so, it is not expected to, in any way, be blue. wiggle.co.uk |

Ouch. Yes indeed, it's a metal, so it'll be silver/grey, gold or red; can't be blue.

And wearing overshoes with a half-life that short is several terrible ideas at once

We have cobalt blue though, don’t we?

(Admittedly not enough Seaborgium has ever existed to make a pigment of it).
