By: Dr. Steven Chaney It’s no secret that Americans eat too much sugar. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 100 calories/day of added sugar for women and 150 for men. And one recent study concluded that 78% of women and 67% of men consume too much sugar every day (J. Nutr, 140: 1832, 2010).  But the real question is which matters more – the type of sugar or the type of food? The answer is both – but let me explain. Let’s start with the type of foods. You’ve probably heard that sugar sweetened beverages are not good for you. Is that correct? The answer is clearly yes. Several studies have shown that people drinking sugar sweetened beverages on a daily basis gain more weight than those who drink them only occasionally (For example, JAMA, 292: 927, 2004; Am J Clin Nutr, 89: 438, 2009). Now let’s look at the type of sugar, but first let me give you a little background. Back in the 60s and 70s, sugar sweetened beverages foods primarily contained sucro...

By: Pamela Riggs at Shaklee Health Wise The first nutrition course I ever took in college changed my life. I was absolutely fascinated to learn what vitamins and minerals were and how important they are for good health. It was also about that time I finally understood what Hippocrates meant when he said, “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. Today, that saying is even more important as nutrition science has come a long way since I took that first nutrition course.  Just think about inflammation, your body’s natural protective response to illness or injury. In fact, a little inflammation under normal circumstances can be a good thing. When you cut yourself, you want your immune system to respond quickly by sending white blood cells to your wound to fight off infection. But a low-grade persistent state of chronic inflammation is not a good thing. In this circumstance, white blood cells inappropriately move into tissues and cause des...

The article below is about the dangers of children eating the laundry detergent "Pods". These pods are colorful, but extremely toxic.

Without healthy joints, common activities such as bending, sitting, and walking would all be challenging. That’s because joints serve as links between bones that provide stability and control body movement. Cartilage is an essential component of joints that provides cushioning between bones and helps absorb shock from physical impact. As we age, this protective cushioning breaks down naturally. Additional factors such as continued physical stress and overexertion can further accelerate the breakdown of cartilage by triggering the release of chemicals that attack cartilage. The result? Joint discomfort and limited mobility. Did You Know? Over 28 million Americans have some form of joint-related issue. And… For every pound you gain you add four additional pounds of pressure on your knees and six additional pounds of pressure on your hips. These additional pounds can put extra strain on your joints. Here are just a few tips: 1. Maintain a healthy wei...

By: Barbara Lagoni A recent study raised serious questions about the safety of osteoporosis drugs: NEW CAUTIONS ABOUT LONG-TERM USE OF BONE DRUGS By TARA PARKER-POPE | May 9, 2012 An X-ray shows a fracture in the femur of a woman who used Fosamax for seven years. In an unusual move that may prompt millions of women to rethink their use of popular bone-building drugs, the Food and Drug Administration published an analysis that suggested caution about long-term use of the drugs, but fell short of issuing specific recommendations. The F.D.A. review, published in The New England Journal of Medicine online on Wednesday, was prompted by a growing debate over how long women should continue using the drugs, known as bisphosphonates, which are sold as generic versions of brands like Fosamax and Boniva, as well as Novartis’s Reclast. The concern is that after years of use, the drugs may in rare cases actually lead to weaker bones in certain women, contributing to “rare...
