Once in a while a good title comes along and "Turn Off the Fat
Genes" is one of those titles that just have to be written
about. If you are not familiar with Dr. Neal Barnard's work, he

diet for at least a decade now.
I'm amazed, as you might be, that his work is not better known.
There are a number of advantages to using a high carb diet and
as many disadvantages to the low carb/ high protein diets.
There is some great research in...

Argh! Where are my glasses? I put them down . . . to do what?
And when?
As the daughter of an Alzheimer's patient, this inability to
keep up with everyday items, like my glasses and car keys,
drives me absolutely nuts! Absent-mindedness has always plagued
me. Now, it keeps me anxious and guessing. Is this an early sign
of Alzheimer's disease? Could I end up like my father, crippled
with this disease? I decided to stop worrying about it and act!
I searched the latest literature to see what techn...

Were we all born with the same courage, self-assurance,
boldness…there would have been no rule of the jungle, no need of
shelter or refuge under artificial organizations like
government, every individual and place would have been
impregnable, the world would have never been what it is today.
But since Homo sapiens are different from each other in

Smoking" and label column two "Wh...
