Yogurt: Not Just for Wimmin Anymore
Remember this? [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMRDLCR8vAE] Poor Sarah Haskins. Little did she know that yogurt is now officially Man Food: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1foVGaooUFQ] I guess that – as long as it has nothing to do with dieting or tender tummies – it’s ok....
Neil deGrasse Tyson on UFOs
Ok… it’s safe to say that UFOs have little to do with the subjects of weight loss, exercise, nutrition or supplements. Nonetheless, I have two reasons for posting this video: 1. I thought it was amusing. 2. Dr. Tyson makes an important point about the nature of anecdotal evidence, and why scientists find it less than compelling.

Woman Hospitalized After ODing on 5-Hour Energy

Case in point: The 22-year-old woman who arrived at an emergency room complaining of upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and a slight fever, according to the June 22 edition of the Journal of Medical Case Reports.

Yeah, I’ve continued to get the weekly newsletter, although most of the time, I just click “Delete” without actually looking at the contents… just been too busy. Today was almost no exception… but a headline caught my eye just ahead of my usual click on the big red “X.” It read:...
“The Milk Revolution”
“The Milk Revolution” is a blog started by a 4th grade class in Edmonton, Canada. Inspired by Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution,” the kids’ goal is to reduce the consumption of flavored milk in their school by 60%. They even have their own, “Moo TV” YouTube channel: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsU-E57vea0] Cute. And, tbh, this is probably the best way to reduce flavored milk...
