Does this protect you from deadly cancer?

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.  What a crock. ...

Ladies: Enough with the Botox already!

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...

This is your most vital organ—take care of it or else!

This is your most vital organ—take care of it or else!

  October is National Liver Awareness Month. While I feel pretty confident that we are all “aware” of our livers, I’d be willing to bet that many people don’t know everything that their liver does for them. It’s arguably your most important vital organ!  In addition, unlike your other organs and systems, unfortunately you don’t always get obvious warning signs when something is awry with your liver…so yours may be suffering and you don’t even...

Could this be the reason you can’t lose weight?

Could this be the reason you can’t lose weight?

  Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly three out of four Americans are overweight or obese.  And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on?  Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight?  Well, there are a lot of factors behind the scenes, including processed/fast foods, lack of exercise, and our expanding reliance on medications. But there’s another sneaky, often-missed factor that can...

What the media won’t tell you about sunscreens

What the media won’t tell you about sunscreens

  It has been said that there are two certainties in life—death and taxes. I’ll add one more onto that—the fact that advertising works.  Very well. One motivator in particular that has been shown to work like a charm in the media is FEAR! There’s nothing quite like scaring the beejuzus out of someone, then selling a product as the magic answer to protect them from the dreaded outcome. And when it comes to sunscreens,...
