Reading yet another Alzheimer treatment discovery on Digg, I wondered and crawled the RSS just for fun. A Google Reader search shows that so far, as cited on Digg, there have been:

• 13 different cures for Cancer
• 5 different cures for Alzheimer
• 6 different cures for AIDS
• 4 different cures for Diabetes

Granted, those are only the ones as of January 2007, and I didn't search very deeply - limited myself to popular items and only did a search on treatment|cure. But every time I open up Google reader, I got more chances to find another Digg item about marijuana or cannabis curing AIDS than Engadget blogging about Apple getting sued.
