Cancer is number two. That means that you have a 34 percent chance of dying of heart problems, and a 22 percent chance of dying from cancer.  This is despite all advances in medicine, a huge pharmaceutical industry, scientists and the Internet.  Why can’t we beat these two monsters that continue to take our lives?  It remained a puzzle until now.   A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association may be the explanation.  What they found was that people have a 35 percent increased risk of dying from heart disease and cancer because of something we deal with every day.  It was not cholesterol or other fats; it was not smoking or other toxins.   Sugar? No.  Sodas? No. We all know about...

Previous research by Yale scientists explained the phenomenon: kids say that the stuff poured from such boxes tastes better than the same stuff when poured from a cartoon-less box. The same thing happens when kids pick graham crackers, carrots and gummy fruit snacks. Pictures of Shrek, Dora the Explorer, Scooby Doo and their kin make just about anything taste yummier, it seems. Can this observation be leveraged to encourage kids to select healthier foods? Yes, it turns out. But the story isn’t as straightforward as you’d think. To study the impact of licensed media spokescharacters and other nutrition cues on kids’ taste assessment of food...

So it is not really clear from these articles, what the benefit is coming from: whole grains or something else. Do they plan any studies to figure it out what really works?  Not to my knowledge. So, why the popular thought that whole grain, equals healthier? Well, because it does, but not in the form that we usually consume it in. As soon as a grain is destroyed, it’s not actually a whole grain. Take for example in a cereal. When the grain is m...

Not as a hobby. As my job. Part of me agrees, the part that doesn’t want to get into a long and frustrating conversation, where I explain that it’s really not that simple… That the issue is fairly nuanced and complex. Are some people overmedicated in this country? Yes. Absolutely. I devote a few chapters of my book, Beyond Blue, to describing the dangerous phase in my recovery led by a doctor whom I call “Pharma King.” I was taking something like 16 pills a day, enough to drop my head into my cereal bowl every morning for about three months. And I wasn’t at all uncomfortable with how the nurses at the outpatient psych prog...

We eat the same foods at the same times nearly every day. Cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, maybe we change it up for dinner. Look at us, we’re living on the edge! But because humans are so predictable, we’re also pretty lousy at protecting ourselves from the pitfalls of predictability. We tend to choose things like passwords based upon easily-memorized components — the word “password” or some combination of characters that a 4-year old would pick (abc or 123). So as a public service, I have to mention a study released last week of 32 million breached password accounts. You’d like to think that people aren’t really that obvious. And you’d be wrong. If your password is one of the below, please change it...

As of May 13th, 28 people in 15 states have been sickened by the outbreak strain of Salmonella Agona.

However, it seems the type of fiber consumed is important too. A new study concludes that vegetable fiber is a good defence against type 2 diabetes. The study comes courtesy of researchers at the University of Sydney, Australia, who found that adults eating five grams of vegetable fiber daily were 24 percent less likely than other adults to develop the disease. People over the age of seventy enjoyed a thirty-one percent risk reduction.The study tracked the eating habits of more than two thousand people over a ten year period. Wow.

And the appalling effect of all that consumption on the nation's children is evident in record (and rising) levels of childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

My would be Eggs Benedict or a nice big serving of fresh waffles, but since neither is particularly healthy or convenient, I usually stick with cereal and some fruit. And not just any old cereal. It has to have lots of fibre, whole grains and little or no sugar. Sounds boring, right? Maybe, but it's good for my heart, according to this study. Participants were monitored and the results showed that those who ate high fibre, whole grain cereal 7 times a week had the least amount of heart problems -- by 28%.
