Have you been misled? Take this quiz to find out!
In a perfect world, the best information on how to stay healthy and prevent disease would be all around us. No matter what health agency or practitioner you consulted, their advice would be truthful and centered on safety and effectiveness, with no influence or bias in any way.

You better do this—your life depends on it
Today is National Chronic Disease Day, and as it typically goes with “national days” like these, one of the objectives is to raise awareness of chronic disease. Well, all I can say is that, as a nation where 7 out of 10 of us have at least one chronic condition, it appears we are very well “aware” of chronic disease. In fact, we’ve become experts and that’s nothing to celebrate. But how did...

This “Wonder Drug” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
There’s an old saying that goes, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Those wise words are especially pertinent to the latest “Holy Grail” of the weight loss world. Semaglutide! Semaglutide is the active ingredient in the diabetes drug Ozempic. It is also an ingredient in Victoza—another diabetes medication, and the weight loss drugs Wegovy and Saxenda. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you undoubtedly know or have seen...

Most people don’t get enough of this—do you?
If I were to tell you that a certain substance could reduce your risk of dying prematurely from any cause, would you be interested in knowing what it was? How about if I also told you that this substance helps older adults remain free of disease, disability and physical limitations well into their golden years? Does that sound good to you? Well, this seemingly magical lifesaving substance is none other than… Fiber! Here’s the...

We’d better wake up before it’s too late!
Brace yourself because I have some very disturbing statistics to share with you today. A JAMA study has shown that children and teens get a whopping 67 percent (two-thirds) of their daily calories from highly processed foods! So is it any wonder they’re overweight, depressed, can’t sit still or concentrate, and over half (54 percent) of them have at least one chronic illness? Adults are no better. As adults we “should” appreciate the importance of...
