This bad advice is still being parroted by health experts
I recently saw an article on Facebook that talked about harmful foods that people should avoid. Of course that caught my attention, and I wanted to see what this doctor saw as “harmful” and why, so I read on. I agreed with the first few items—soda, processed foods and artificial sweeteners. Good going so far! Especially with artificial sweeteners, since I know they are still being pushed by many in the health field as...

Don’t get caught up in this hype!
When it comes to selling, one of the oldest tricks in the book is to create an urgent need or problem, then magically provide (i.e.: sell) the solution to said problem. Note that I used the word create here, because many times the need for a specific product is just not there, so the customer must be convinced (or scared into thinking) they need it.

The liver deserves special mention because of its incredibly wide range and number of functions...
My experiment was an abysmal failure
I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct. And they were. I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms. Know how many...
You can’t live without these--take care of yours
Back in my health insurance days in the early 80s, I used to have a boss (Paul) that smoked cigars pretty much nonstop. As you may recall (if you are as old as me LOL), smoking used to be allowed in public places, including business offices. So we would witness Paul lighting up throughout the day. Besides the stench of what I assumed were cheap cigars, I was very aware of Paul’s breathing, which...
