Episode description

In today's podcast Matt, Steve and Jeff discuss telomeres - which allow cells to divide without losing genes. Without telomeres, chromosome ends could fuse together and corrupt the cell's genetic blueprint, possibly causing malfunction, cancer, or cell death.

Telomeres have long been touted as the whole grail of anti-ageing even immortality - it has been said that if you look after your Telomeres, you can live longer and potentially live disease free.

They also answer FAQ's on the contraceptive device the Mirena, Vitamin A and a type A personality suffering from Amenorrhoea.
