Lonely? Well you shouldn’t be, because you have trillions of friends with you all the time. Sure, they’re kind of small, but they’re always with you, wherever you go. In fact, they’re such good friends that you have more of them than cells in your body! You have hundreds of trillions of micro-organisms in your body, while you have only a measly ten trillion cells.

The High Fructose Corn Syrup Conspiracy
A decade ago OLESTRA, was approved by the FDA as a natural soy product with a disclaimer on the back of the packages warning that many people had many health problems included anal leakage, now the disclaimer has been REMOVED, so much about trusting what we read on the labels.
Now, once again, we are reassured that there is nothing wrong with eating High Fructose Corn Syrup, as long as we eat it in moderation. Who are they kidding? Eating in moderation when corn syrup is in EVERYTHING WE EAT AND it's legal to sell us hamburgers with three beef patties, three slices of cheese, bacon AND fries and a liter of Coke, all saturated with HFCS?
Watch this informative and honest TV advertisement and choose for your self - you still have the ability to choose for your self, right? Watch video

How to Lower Your Cholesterol With Better Eating
By Kate Stinchfield
About one in two American adults has borderline or high cholesterol levels, which increase one's risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease.
Statins, medications that lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, are now among the most prescribed drugs in the country (and the world). But medication is only part of the solution: To keep cholesterol under control, maintaining a healthy weight and diet is just as important as taking a daily pill.
The guidelines for treating high cholesterol from the National Cholesterol Education Program recommend that patients try to lower their cholesterol through Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC), which include exercise and a healthy diet, before starting a statin. Read more

Eating healthy when dining out is getting easier...
By Stacey Colins
In the dining room's soft amber glow, dozens of patrons peruse the menu at Rock Creek restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland. From a health standpoint, making a smart choice is easy.
Watch your portion size and inquire about the nutritional content of your meal when you eat out.
Whether it's the slow-cooked salmon with sesame seeds, warm bok choy salad, and miso mustard dressing or the jumbo lump crab cakes with celeriac-apple slaw and lemon-caper aioli, each meal contains 600 or fewer calories -- nearly half the amount found in a typical restaurant entree.
