Can’t sleep at night? Pepsi to the rescue!

Can’t sleep at night? Pepsi to the rescue!

  Well, now I’ve officially seen it all. To apparently compensate for slumping soda sales, PepsiCo (maker of Pepsi Cola, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.) has come up with an idea for a drink to help consumers de-stress and unwind before they go to bed.  It’s a functional water beverage called “Driftwell” that contains 200 mg of L-theanine (a non-essential amino acid) and 10 percent of the RDA for magnesium.  The drink comes in 7.5...

Don’t believe the lie—statins are NOT safe!

  Anyone in the advertising world will tell you that sex sells. Just check out a Victoria’s Secret ad to see this for yourself—those overpriced bras don’t sell themselves; you know.  But you know what else sells just as effectively. Fear. And that’s a choice tactic used by the pharmaceutical industry to sell medications. There’s nothing like fear to compel you to throw hesitance and gut instincts to the wind and arrive in the land...

Are you a likely target for cancer?  How to tell

Are you a likely target for cancer? How to tell

  A very dear friend of mine from college was just diagnosed with cancer. We had been keeping in touch over the last 10 years or so, thanks to social media.  I had noticed that several of her Facebook posts were recipes for rich desserts and other sweets…and I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been troubled about that for some time.  I knew she was overweight and had been warned that her blood glucose levels...

Brenda came to me reporting a medical history that included acid reflux, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and depression. She stated her current medications were the following: Nexium (for acid reflux) Amlodipine (for hypertension) Wellbutrin (for depression) Atorvastatin (for cholesterol) Brenda also mentioned that she felt...

A COVID-19 risk factor you can avoid

A COVID-19 risk factor you can avoid

  One of the biggest factors that has emerged that exponentially increases someone’s risk of complications from COVID-19 is the presence of diabetes. It should be no surprise.  Diabetes impairs your body’s functioning from head to toe, and has a very long resume of the health problems it causes or worsens.  COVID-19 is just another checkmark on the list. But the glimmer of hope here is that in many cases of diabetes are very PREVENTABLE! ...

Become a less attractive home for COVID-19 (and other sickness)

Become a less attractive home for COVID-19 (and other sickness)

  I think it’s safe to say that most of us don’t want to catch a bacterial or viral infection…and many people are understandably concerned about what would happen if they got sick (especially in the wake of the COVID-19 situation). But the interesting thing about bacteria and viruses is that not everyone is “fair game” to get sick. Some people seem to catch everything that’s going around, while others almost never get sick—even when...
