experts understand the difference between "good" and "bad"
sugars. However, they stopped short of telling us to limit
refined sugar intake, in updated dietary guidelines for 2005.
Could this reluctance to state the obvious be signs that

articles said that 7 of the 13 panel members have financial
interests in the ...

I want to talk about the effect that stress and sleep
deprivation may have on your weight. I spent the last six years
of my life in Los Angeles partaking in the 'Rat Race'. Two
things I discovered: only rats win the rat race and stress can
play havoc on you emotionally, spiritually and physically. This

see "fattening" food inside. Are you really sure they are
"fattening"? What defines a fattening food anyway? Most diet
programs always check on the calorie count, and the ...
