If you hate those ridiculous drug ads that appear on TV, this is must-see viewing. Enjoy ...

60 Minutes had an excellent segment on this subject. 

Speaking of sugar, take a look at this visual. It's the most-viewed post that I have ever published.

When I ran my first marathon, I trained with the Galloway group. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, guaranteed you will learn something from his presentation.

It's grilling season. Only one word can describe these: Delicious. Thank you Food Network for the simple recipe.

Surprising, but true: More women now die of heart disease than men, yet cardiovascular research has long focused on men. Pioneering doctor C. Noel Bairey Merz shares what we know and don't know about women's heart health -- including the remarkably different symptoms women present during a heart attack (and why they're often missed).  

One of my many websites is: LifeWithoutLipitor.com. I have that website because much of my research has led to the conclusion that we are over-prescribed statins. 

In a recent article, cardiologist, Dr. Eric Topol's briefly and to the point explains:

Evidence-based medicine is a fancy buzz term. You've got people who draw out guidelines from shaky data and tell the world this is the way it's got to be. A great example is statins. The medicine community promotes them like crazy. But for people without previous heart disease only one in a 100 people will benefit in terms of preventing heart disease. And then you have the FDA issuing a warning that taking statins can increase the risk of diabetes, which is at least 1 in 200 for the more potent statins. For people who have heart disease, statins are great. But if all you've had is high cholesterol, what you're doing is taking this 1/100 chance of getting a benefit and offsetting it with 1/200 chance of getting diabetes. What kind of trade off is that? We've got to get more intelligent about the individual's true benefit to risk story.

Here's another good site that explains ... The NNT. NNT stands for Number Needed to Treat.

Food is the most powerful clinical intervention against chronic disease doctors have.  We should be able to write recipes on prescription slips, just like prescription medication.  And every doctor should know how. - Dr. John La Puma
