TITLE: Popular brain supplement linked to shorter lifespan in men

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260904000330.htm

A large study involving more than 270,000 people has linked higher blood levels of the amino acid tyrosine to a shorter lifespan in men. Using both observational data and genetic analysis, researchers found that elevated tyrosine could potentially reduce male life expectancy by nearly a year, while no significant effect appeared in women. Tyrosine is found naturally in protein-rich foods and is also sold as a supplement for boosting focus and mental performance, making the finding especially intriguing.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

   Wherein, then, is your grievance? You are not ejected from the city [life] by any unjust judge or tyrant, but by the selfsame Nature which brought you into it; just as when an actor is dismissed by the manager who engaged him.
   “But I have played no more than three of the five acts.” Just so; in your drama of life, three acts are all the play. Its point of completeness is determined by him who formerly sanctioned your creation, and today sanctions your dissolution. Neither of those decisions lay within yourself.
   Pass on your way, then, with a smiling face, under the smile of him who bids you go.
 
[τί οὖν δεινόν, εἰ τῆς πόλεως ἀποπέμπει σε οὐ τύραννος οὐδὲ δικαστὴς ἄδικος, ἀλλ̓ ἡ φύσις ἡ εἰσαγαγοῦσα, οἷον εἰ κωμῳδὸν ἀπολύοι τῆς σκηνῆς ὁ παραλαβὼν στρατηγός;—ἀλλ̓ οὐκ εἶπον τὰ πέντε μέρη, ἀλλὰ τὰ τρία.—καλῶς εἶπας: ἐν μέντοι τῷ βίῳ τὰ τρία ὅλον τὸ δρᾶμά ἐστι. τὸ γὰρ τέλειον ἐκεῖνος ὁρίζει ὁ τότε μὲν τῆς συγκρίσεως. νῦν δὲ τῆς διαλύσεως αἴτιος: σὺ δὲ ἀναίτιος ἀμφοτέρων. ἄπιθι οὖν ἵλεως: καὶ γὰρ ὁ ἀπολύων ἵλεως.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 36 (12.36) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

What happens to all the man-made #satellites in #Earth's #orbit, of which approximately 15,000 are active, while the #lifespan of a satellite is usually only a few years? L. Revell et al. (2026) express concern in their #Conversation #article that the #throwawaymentality is causing so many decommissioned satellites to finally land in the #outeratmosphere that their #fragments and burnt #dust are #exacerbating #climatechange and #ozonedepletion.

A quotation from Robert Penn Warren

You live through time, that little piece of time that is yours, but that piece of time is not only your own life, it is the summing-up of all the other lives that are simultaneous with yours. It is, in other words, History, and what you are is an expression of History, and you do not live your life, but somehow, your life lives you, and you are, therefore, only what History does to you.

Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989) American poet, novelist, literary critic
Band of Angels, ch. 6 (1955)

Why do #women outlive #men? A study of 1,176 species points to an answer.
Body of evidence suggests women's #longevity may derive, from having double X #chromosomes, a redundancy that protects them against harmful mutations. The most sweeping analysis to date of #lifespan differences between males and females in more than 1,000 #mammal and #bird species.
“From a #human standpoint, it’s really remarkable that women live longer across almost every country in the world”
