Got tattoos? Here’s what you might not know about them.
What I am writing today probably won’t win me any popularity contests, but I’m used to telling people what they don’t want to hear. Presently, about 35 percent of US adults, and nearly half of adults under 40, report having at least one tattoo. If you are among those that have gone under the tattoo needle, there is much more going on behind the scenes in your body’s “artwork” that you might not even...
Does this protect you from deadly cancer?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 60 years (yes, I am that old) it’s that you should always question products marketed for your “health” or to “protect you.” Vegetable oils and margarine are excellent examples here. For the last several decades, saturated fats like butter and red meat have been vilified and said to cause heart disease, while unsaturated vegetable oils and margarine have been marketed as heart healthy.

Ladies: Enough with the Botox already!
I was wondering if it was my imagination at first, but it seems to me that more and more people (particularly women) are taking youthful appearance advice from the likes of Madonna, Cher or Dolly Parton. As in, Botox injections! While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look youthful, when someone gets to the point where their upper lip won’t move when they smile or speak, or their mouth is more trout-like than...

You’re looking younger every day!
I think that the list of things that people dread the most include public speaking, spiders, snakes and AGING! The latter is especially a concern for people in the entertainment industry and many of them have taken the route of the knife to turn back the hands of time… not always with the greatest of results.
