		<description><![CDATA[The Super Bowl is a truly American tradition that brings families and friends together for a day of good fun and good food. And good beer. Many of the low-carb diets claim that beer has a high-glycemic index and will make you fat. But that&#8217;s not necessarily true. I&#8217;ll show you why this claim is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you hear that Norway ran out of butter? The news media made fun of the &#8220;diet craze&#8221; that caused the shortage. It seems someone has convinced Norwegians to go on a &#8220;high-fat diet&#8221; and take in fewer carbs and more protein and fat. If that&#8217;s how they eat, I think Norway just moved up [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s a doctor of modern medicine, too &#8211; a dental surgeon. But he believes nature knows best; he practices traditional healing methods as well. As [...]]]></description>

We will either have to repopulate them somewhere or we&#8217;ll only see them in captivity. Gorillas produce maybe five offspring in their lives, [...]]]></description>

But on this trip I&#8217;ve seen by far the most beautiful country of anywhere I&#8217;ve been. It exceeds Peru, Brazil and even Bali. Very rugged [...]]]></description>

Bali is the lushest place I’ve ever been, with plants on top of plants, and flowers and herbs everywhere.

It was a perfect day outside – sunny and not too hot. 

My guide and new friend Westi was sitting with me in a kind of covered shelter with a big brown picnic table area after our tour of his incredible herb garden.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a shame that journalists with no medical knowledge keep trying to scare you about vitamin E. 

First they reported vitamin E caused lung cancer, and now it’s prostate cancer. 

One patient of mine who had prostate cancer, John M., wrote me saying, “Help! I take 600 IU a day. I am in the middle of pouring through the information and am wondering... could it possibly be that the push for this vitamin has lead to prostate cancers? I am perplexed.”

Today I want to help you cut through this mess, and show you what’s really going on with vitamin E, and how you can benefit the most from it. ]]></description>
