Everyone agrees that it is important to limit the amount of sugar you eat. Sugar can cause a number of health problems, like diabetes, high blood pressure, not to mention excess pounds and fat. So, do you know how much sugar is in your food? Take a look at any food label and you might see:  Corn syrup, Demarra sugar, Dextrose, Free Flowing Brown Sugar, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Honey, Invert Sugar, Jaggery, Lactose, Malt, Maltodextrin, Maltose, Maple Syrup, Molasses, Muscavado, Sugar, Panela, Panocha, Piloncillo, Powdered Sugar, Rice Syrup, Sucrose, Treacle, Turbinado sugar.  All of these are sugar in some form, and all can put pounds on your body.

Some, like Aspartame, are excitotoxins (according to Dr. Russell Blaylock), which cause repeated firing of nerve cells, until th...

The Year of the Rabbit officially begins on February 3rd, 2011 and the elemental energies are again metal and wood, similar to the Tiger year we’re leaving behind. Therefore, some of the unpredictability and conflicts of the Tiger year will carry over to the New Year; however, Rabbit years are usually calm, creative, and positive -- a much-desired change from the volatile Tiger! Rabbit is a peace-seeking symbol, and we can expect that there will most likely be more effort at diplomacy politically. But don’t expect everything to go smoothly, because any accord is always underscored by discord. The focus of this year will orient towards reviving the arts and culture, getting our financial house in order, cultivating intimate relationships, and building family and community. As a result, industries that will likely benefit include entertainment, finance, energy, especially alternative energy, commodities like metals and agricultural products, mining, shipping, transportation, and hotels...

Health test: Score your diet's Mediterranean quotient Joe Rojas-Burke The Oregonian, Portland, Ore. 01-31-11 Jan. 31--The Mediterranean diet is famous for staving off heart disease. But there's growing evidence that the eating pattern -- heavy on vegetables, fruits, olive oil and fish -- offers some protection from a surprisingly broad list of health problems. Among them: Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, weight gain, and perhaps even infertility. To rate how closely your eating habits fit the Mediterranean diet, use the following scale (adapted from the diet score created by Antonia Trichopoulou and colleagues at the University of Athens Medical School, Greece, with U.S. data from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study.) Give yourself 1 point for each yes answer, and 0 for each no. Vegetables: 4 or more servings a day Legumes: 1 or more servings a week Fruit: 3 or more servings a day Nuts and seeds: 1 or ...
