>In fact, we now have compelling epidemiological evidence that vaping almost doubles risk of cardiac events [1].

Somewhat misleading since more than half of those studied were smoking and vaping. From the study:

Among the 9,352 current and former e-cigarette users, 333 (3.6 percent) had experienced a heart attack at some point, with the highest percentage (6.1 percent) among those who used e-cigarettes daily. In the analysis, a quarter of the 2,259 people who currently used e-cigarettes were former smokers of conventional cigarettes and about 66 percent of current e-cigarette users were also current cigarette smokers.

When apoptosis fails, it's might be because p53 binds to foxo4 and gets stuck in the nucleus which prevents the p53 from getting to the mitochondria. In the experiment p53 in the paper, p53 unbound from foxo4 in the nuclease and bound to foxo4-dri and successfully flowed down the mitochondria so apoptosis could occur.

No, it's about things we can't change: "What we want to get rid of in February is venting about things we can’t change."

It is really sad that instead of discussing the merit of his argument, we are debating the quality of OP's site.

It is ridiculous that I have to police my site for low quality inbound links or risk getting banned (even more so for mom and pop webmasters who are more susceptible to link penalties). Lastly, if you are penalized, try recovering unless you are big brand like Overstock or JCPenney with millions per year in Adwords spend.

Not surprised, but they have 65% share of search in the US, so it's a disturbing trend for high quality sites ranking organically.
