Junkman" Steve Milloy Rips National Cancer Institute Red Meat Colon Cancer Study

Commentary from JunkScience.com writer Steve Milloy openly questions a recent study from the National Cancer Institute concluding high consumption of red and processed meat may increase the risk of colon cancer. Milloy cites weak statistics and unreliability of the researchers data as reasons for being skeptical of the new JAMA report. The data for the study was initially collected by 77,000 untrained volunteers who interviewed family and friends about their lifestyle habits. None of this lifestyle data was verified or validated. Exactly what and how much the study subjects ate, smoked, drank, and how much they exercised is really anybodys guess. And forget about reliable information on genetic predisposition to colon cancer, which is thought to be a major risk factor," Milloy states in the column.... (Continue reading)

Pear Cable Makes Some Noise for Car Sound Quality with Revolutionary New Design for Audio Cable

Pear Cable Corporation, a developer of high-fidelity audio cable products, introduces a car audio speaker cable with a radical new design that promises to elevate vehicle sound quality to new heights.

The Comice Speaker Cable is scientifically proven to deliver faster and more accurate sound than any of the existing car audio speaker cable designs on the market today. How is that possible? Adam Blake, co-founder of Pear Cable, explains:

“One of the key design elements to this cable is the 6-conductor configuration. Instead of using the standard 2-conductor design (1 positive and 1 negative), we have broken the conductors into 6 individual wires. Precisely spaced and aligned with the correct geometry, this allows us to get the inductance of the cable way down. Electrical engineering tells us that the lower the inductance of the speaker cable, the more accurate the music signal will be. With most of the competing car audio speaker cables having fully 3 times higher inductance, there is really no comparison.”... (Continue reading)
