Breast cancer—what you should really be “aware” of
I was in a pharmacy buying a birthday card recently, and the cashier asked me if I would like to donate an extra dollar over my bill for breast cancer research. She looked almost offended when I said no. But I said no with confidence because I know where that dollar will go, and it has absolutely nothing to do with anything helpful regarding breast cancer.

Impossible burger—quite possibly harmful
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably remember me saying this at one point or another about processed foods: The farther you venture away from Nature with what you eat, the less nutritious (and quite likely more harmful) it is to your body.

Is your job jeopardizing your health?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, office and administrative support jobs make up the single largest occupational group in the US. And although most office employees think of their jobs as a way to earn a living and a step on their career path, what many don’t realize is that office jobs may also jeopardize your health!

Got high blood pressure? This is worse than salt!
An interesting phenomenon occurs once a statement is repeated over and over and over again. It’s believed to be true, even when that’s not necessarily the case! Take cigarettes, for example. For years the tobacco industry paid enough people off to repeatedly deny that smoking causes lung cancer. Until the evidence was undeniable, that is. Well, another example of this in action is the contention that salt causes high blood pressure. Because that’s not entirely...
