Super Bowl & NBA All-Star Game Health Tie-ins

Stem Cells aren't normally the type of topic that's discussed during NBA All-Star weekend but they made an appearance in Phoenix when 'natural stem cell enhancers' called StemSPORT were doled out in gift bags for the National Basketball Association of Retired Players.

According to the press release, these stem cell enhancers are supposed to "increase the release and circulation of Adult Stem Cells by some 25%... For very active and sports focused people, Stem Cells are the raw materials to repair micro-tears and micro-injuries created during training."

In related news, Dikembe Mutombo is now seeking a new 10-year contract.

Meanwhile, apparently the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers wasn't necessarily the result of their stellar defense or Ben Roethlisberger's game-winning drive but rather their use of fish oils. The Steelers were at the forefront of a two-year study that looked at the use of Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid found in fish oil and it's impact on reducing cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors.


Just imagine how much longer it would have taken James Harrison to catch his breath after that 100-yd interception if he didn't have all that fish oil in his system.
