  • The Gluten Syndrome

    It's hard to change isn't it, particularly when one does not fully understand why. This article reflects the social confusion that results from a ''party'' that has gone many decades too long. We've had too much fun with sugar and processed food, chemicals, etc. Now we are so toxic and messed up that we can't digest ''real'' food and it has ...

  • Personal responsibility, people?

    This article was among the bigger loads of hogwash I've ever read. Genetics plays ''more'' of a role in obesity than behavior and diet? Bull. Travel some. Go to Asia. Maybe the Mediterranean. People are thin there. There simply aren't chubby children scarfing down Happy Meals everywhere you look (like there are here). But Asian and ...

  • Regarding the Wall-E article...

    ''Wall-E tells us that if we don't change the way we live, we'll all get really fat and destroy the world.'' You'll find no bigger supporter of the first amendment than me.

He'd love for us to get up together at 4 or 5 A.M.!!! I didn't know that time came twice a day. He says the standard, ''Just go to bed earlier,'' but for me, to go to bed ...

  • Can a night Owl become a morning person? I did!

    Oh yes. The infamous title of ''night owl''. I have been dubbed a night owl for as far back as I could remember. I have never liked getting up early in the morning, nor have I ever enjoyed getting less than eight hours of sleep in one evening. After having my son, I had tried and tried to become a morning lover but I had failed miserably. I've ...

  • Raises Interesting Follow-Up Questions

    The result that the number of fat cells is set in adolescence and remains constant through adulthood, by the bodies fixed fat cell replacement rate boggles my mind. I have questions about pushing the limits of this. The summary talks about people who were overweight in adolescence. What about a person who was lean in adolescence? How much ...
