Americans can now expect to live about 28,470 days as long as they’re white and male now. If you’re female, you get to live longer; if you’re black, shorter.
The improvement was led by a drop in deaths from heart disease and stroke — two of the nation’s leading killers, according to the National Center for […]
I had a good time in D.A.R.E. I won the essay contest, got a gold medal and my picture in the local paper. I liked seeing Deputy Bausch come in in full gear, brandishing weapons on his belt, wondering how quickly he could take down any one of us at any given moment. […]
In an experiment on pre-schoolers (what a good way to start a blog post), U.S. researchers found out that they liked the same food when it was wrapped in McDonald’s wrappers vs. plain wrapping.
The study shows a couple of things, one being that McDonald’s branding does a spectacular job of linking their product with deliciousness […]
There was a report on MSNBC that one of the states (I don’t know which one off hand; if someone else knows, feel free to post it on our message boards) will soon be banning, if it wasn’t banned already, employers taking the weight of their applicants/employees into consideration for purposes of receiving or maintaining […]
Although overweight/obese people are the majority in our country already (at about two-thirds), a story by MSNBC says that number is going to continue to climb up to 75% in 2015 (when, sadly, our Back To The Future-era hovercars won’t exist).
That Americans are fat isn’t big news. There were some more stunning numbers in this […]
My good friend, cable news, reported this morning that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has released a report stating that antidepressants account for the most prescriptions in the United States today.

I’ll share a personal story with you. Around […]
Today, on Yahoo, I saw an interesting tip for people that want to decrease their appetite - eat more protein in the form of eggs in the morning.
So I clicked through to the article, and found some other tips. Some were okay, but some were so stupid I had to share my rage with […]
Scientists are trying to get pizza to be a health food:
University of Maryland food chemists said on Monday they had found ways to enhance the antioxidant content of whole-grain wheat pizza dough by baking it longer at higher temperatures and giving the dough lots of time to rise.
Sometimes scientists can completely miss the point. I […]
As you probably know, I did not have much Internet access during Winter Break. Now that school is back in session and I have regular access, I want to take this opportunity to highlight some of the interesting proposals and developments that the Milwaukee-area is being approached with.
Many of you already know how passionate I […]
…in mice. Aside from this, the health industry hasn’t cured anything big lately, except American wallet obesity! Zing!
In a discovery that has stunned even those behind it, scientists at a Toronto hospital say they have proof the body’s nervous system helps trigger diabetes, opening the door to a potential near-cure of the disease that affects […]
