In this episode of Beauty and the Surgeon Dr. Martin and I discuss current research (in the health and wellness realm) that we find interesting. Before we delve into the research articles I think it is important to discuss the following:
What is an ‘abstract’? - an abstract is a summary of the research as relayed by the person writing the abstract. This may or may not be a good representation of the actual study or the clinical significance of the findings. Think of the abstract as the CliffsNotes or Reader’s Digest version, it provides a summary but may leave out important details.

A brief note about animal studies - how (if at all) does this research translate to humans? - the brief answer is, sometimes, but the type of study and type of animal play a big role in how that data translates to humans. I bring this up not to get into the ethics of animal research, rather as a reminder that animal studies do not directly translate to humans and that needs to be taken into account when looking at research.
What type of research do we seek out? - I tend toward research around aging and cellular function, specifically as it relates to nutrition, but as Dr. Martin can attest to, I’ll read anything and everything!
