Since a major purpose of artificial sweeteners is to avoid added calories, you are right to wonder how these no-calorie sugar substitutes could increase your potential to gain weight. Let me explain.Artificial sweeteners have been... 10/2/2021 4:00:00 AM

Selfishness is OK
by Roni Weisberg-Ross
About Me View My Posts
Selfishness has a negative connotation in our culture; but it’s not selfishness, it’s a lack of empathy that hurts others. While I am no Ayn Rand acolyte, I do agree with her argument in “The Virtue of Selfishness.” Taking care of oneself is not only reasonable; it is necessary – necessary for survival. But our culture has placed a judgment on taking care of oneself – as if taking care of yourself,... 10/1/2021 8:00:00 AM

Functional Foods: What You Need to Know About “Biotics” and Your Health
by Judith Finlayson
About Me View My Posts
For some reason it’s a flashbulb memory: In 2008, referring to a component of whole grains that encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, I used the word “prebiotic.” My editor wasn’t familiar with the term, and she queried whether I meant “probiotic.” Probiotics are friendly bacteria like the lactobacilli provided by yogurt, which were then gaining traction as healthful substances. How times... 9/22/2021 8:00:00 AM

Why Is Big Pharma Against Natural Food Supplements?
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Although not as profitable as synthetic alternatives, natural food supplements are a profitable commodity. As such, you would think that all the profit-obsessed "Biggies" (Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Brother, etc.) would be embracing these products with all their hearts and souls (if they had a soul). But, alas, if you've been keeping up with the natural food supplements industries, then you know that... 9/19/2021 8:00:00 AM
