Weekend Link Love – Edition 123
Hope everyone had a merry Christmas. Is it a tradition in your family for someone to recite “Twas the Night Before Christmas?” Let’s just hope that someone wasn’t Werner Herzog. And now, on to something related to health…

This post covers the accuracy and legitimacy of test numbers (blood tests, BF% tests, Rorschach tests. Okay, not Rorschach tests, but everything else).

I like the footsticker idea. There is a similar product for dog pads to keep them from slipping on certain surfaces.
Enjoyed your interview at the Whole Nine. It was also great to find out about the Evolutionary health seminar at UCLA which you’ll be attending.
Great info, and I’m thinking about going there since I’m in the healthcare field and am interested in bridging my talents more towards this science.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the link for more uses for Coconut flour!! Yeah for Primal substitutes to our food loves.
I meant to say “to our old food loves”

Hey Mark,
Your blog is fantastic and inspirational. I know I can count on you for relevant science articles and great paleo recipes.
Loved your Whole 9 interview as well.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I’d seen some of that guy’s other “Werner” readings (Madeline, Where’s Waldo, etc.) but I just wish I’d seen this one before Christmas!
And the inclusion of Krampus was the cherry on top!
That Epic meal was…EPIC! Fun to watch and it made me even more committed to stay away from disgusting fatty foods this holiday season.
