Milk can seem quite appealing as you douse your cereal in the innocent enough looking liquid.However, beneath that... 11/26/2021 5:00:00 AM

by Karl Lawrence There’s been a lot of discussion on the war on drugs over my lifetime. In 1971, President Nixon actually declared the “war on drugs.” In the 1980s President Reagan took it up a notch, with an unprecedented expansion of resources to “save America.” Considered a public health crisis of epidemic proportions, in 1992 President Clinton pushed for treatment funding.You’d think drugs are the leading cause... 11/20/2021 9:00:00 AM
by Fred Fletcher Although neither government health agencies nor food manufacturers will tell you, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a very unhealthy food additive.

In fact, you will be hard-pressed to not find it in most foods consumed by people both in developed and developing countries.Why Is MSG Used So Extensively?Simply put, MSG makes... 11/20/2021 9:00:00 AM

by Fred Fletcher A far-reaching, ongoing development or movement in healthcare has been the stripping away of authority and control from doctors. Once thought of as the ultimate authorities in healthcare settings, doctors today don't have as much power as they had in the past.In fact, it's fair to say that the following 10 factors or forces can be as influential (if not more so) than a doctor's judgment/jurisdiction... 11/19/2021 9:00:00 AM
by Kathrine Brown A great go-to menu is enjoyable for the mind and satisfying for the body. The idea of creating a go-to menu stems from research that says we make over 200 food-related choices per day, yet the average person estimates this number to be just 15. This huge disparity suggests there’s a lot of unconscious choices interfering with our weight loss efforts.This is especially true when we’re stressed, tired,... 11/18/2021 12:53:03 PM

by Jason Venckus The first avocado may have been eaten by a Mayan Princess and was considered "The Fruit of Royalty." You've heard it time and time again, "Avocados are a superfood!" And you do not have to be a member of a royal family to eat them. Even fast food restaurants like Subway have jumped on board (Yes, sorry. Subway is a fast food restaurant).
