		<description><![CDATA[According to a survey done by researchers from Yale University, 6 out of 4,311 (0.1%) diners at fast food restaurants looked at the nutritional information provided by the restaurants.  I&#8217;ll bet if they knew the large fries had 570 calories, they&#8217;d think again about their food choices. Oh well, ignorance is bliss (until the coronary event).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in July I posted about two &#8220;foods&#8221; that should be illegal &#8211; high fructose corn syrup and French fries. Wow! Here&#8217;s a follow up. Just watch this YouTube video of Dr. Robert Lustig discussing what he calls the &#8220;Coca-Cola Conspiracy.&#8221; Without being overly dramatic, this is frightening. My thanks to Dr. Mercola for posting this video to his website and, thus, bringing it to my attention. The research shows that high fructose corn syrup is far more dangerous than ordinary table sugar and either causes or contributes significantly to a number of health related problems. You don&#8217;t even want to know how much of this stuff the average American consumes annually. Just watch the video.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debate goes on as to whether coffee wears a white or black hat. Is it actually good for you, or is it to be avoided? The jury is still out, but here are some of the potential benefits and risks of coffee consumption: Possible Benefits of Coffee Consumption: • For men at least, coffee helps prevent gallstones and gallbladder disease • It has been reported to increase alertness, postpones muscle fatigue and enhance endurance • Studies suggest that coffee may improve short-term recall • There is some evidence that coffee could reduce the risk of cirrhosis of the liver among heavy drinkers of alcohol • At least one study found that coffee has more antioxidant activity than red wine, green or black tea, or orange juice, which indicates that it might protect against free radical damage to tissues Possible Risks of Coffee Consumption: • Coffee consumption can Increase blood pressure, so may be ill advised for people who are at risk for high blood pressure • Coffee can keep you awake at night (surprise!) and can also increase anxiety and irritability • Coffee has been reported to worsen PMS symptoms for some women • Some health experts are concerned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know it&#8217;s heresy, and the fat food restaurant association will probably bring me up on charges, but there are two &#8220;foods&#8221; that humans and animals should not consume.  They are: Sodas, including diet sodas. French fries. I sincerely believe that these &#8220;foods&#8221; are so dangerous that they should be outlawed.  I won&#8217;t try to persuade you with all the facts here.  You can research the nutritional consequences of sodas and fries easily enough, but without doing any research just consider what these two &#8220;foods&#8221; are. First, they are not really foods.  Sodas are, at their core, flavored sugar water, and they deliver shocking amounts of processed sugar with each swallow.  And what about fries?  Can you say &#8220;saturated fats&#8221; and &#8220;calories&#8221; with precious little nutritional value? Yep, when you wolf down that burger with a super-sized side of fries and wash it down with the Big Sipper full of sugar water, you just sent your system to defcon 1 &#8211; we are under attack.   Your organs  are running for cover and wondering why the mouth is trying to kill them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you imagine spending four years in undergraduate school and two or three more years to get a Ph.D. and then when your proud dad (who supported you all those years) asks, &#8220;What are you working on son?&#8221; Your answer &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m conducting a study to see if you should eat food that you&#8217;ve dropped on the ground.&#8221; Now this is an Sheriff Andy Taylor moment if there ever was one. Andy could have told you in a heartbeat that you shouldn&#8217;t eat food that&#8217;s been on the ground. He wouldn&#8217;t need a Ph.D., and he wouldn&#8217;t have to conduct a long, controlled, double-blind, study. In fact, Andy wouldn&#8217;t have to study this one at all.  In Mayberry, the answer to this question would be considered &#8220;obvious.&#8221; Now I realize that a lot of people seem to believe that if you drop food on the floor and pick it up quick enough, it&#8217;s ok to eat, or at least that&#8217;s what their actions imply (Why am I thinking about Animal House?). Come on &#8211; you&#8217;ve seen other people drop food, pick it up, and eat it &#8211; not that &#8220;you&#8221; would ever do such a thing. Anyway, back to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We love our French fries, don&#8217;t we. Perhaps our love wouldn&#8217;t be so strong if we stopped to analyze what the nutritional consequences of downing an order of fries are. One large order (6 ounces) of French fries from your favorite fast-food restaurant gives you about 570 calories, roughly half of which are from fat! And don&#8217;t forget, we seldom have just the fries. They are a side order. If your meal also includes a burger like a Big Mac® (540 calories and 26 grams of fat) or a Whopper® (670 calories and 39 grams of fat), then before you know it you are doing some serious nutritional damage. Just more food for thought from CenteredHealth.Net.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is not what we want to hear, but emerging evidence shows a link between cell phone usage and benign and malignant tumors of the salivary gland. A recent report on the American Journal of Epidemiology published findings from Israel. Researchers compared the lifetime cell phone use of 1,300 adults with 500 adults who were newly diagnosed with benign or malignant tumors of the salivary gland. The results showed a 50% greater risk for such a tumor in heavy cell phone users who held the cell phone on the side of their heads where the tumors developed. Researchers in Sweden have also recently found a doubling of risk for a tumor of the auditory nerve and potentially deadly brain tumor after 10 years of heavy cell phone use. On the other side of the coin, the wireless communications industry claims there is no definitive evidence that cell phones pose a health risk. I can remember when the same thing was being said about tobacco. While it is true that the studies to date are not conclusive, it seems that caution is warranted. Here are some tips you may consider to help reduce your risk of health problems from cell phone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you heard someone say, “After you hit 40, it’s downhill all the way?” Really? Is that true? A Nun in her 70s completed the Ironman Triathlon last year for about her 10th consecutive time! In case you don’t know, that’s a 2.4 mile open water swim in the ocean, followed by a 112 mile bicycle ride through the Kona lava fields, followed by a full marathon (26.2 mile run). So drop the “age” excuse. It doesn’t fly. I’ve known people in their 60s, 70s, even 80s, who still hike mountain trails … play tennis … look fantastic. There is no rule that says you will be less fit after you turn 40. All it takes is a little more attention to keeping fit. Sure, the body ages — but when you take some care of it, it ages well. You can actually have more energy and be in better shape than you were in your younger years. There’s no reason to give up on your fitness after a certain age. With a little proper care, your later years can truly be your “golden years.” To your good health, Lee]]></description>
