Carbs Can Cause Cancer

The other night, my son Dylan and I were in line at the grocery checkout, and I couldn’t help but notice the woman in front of me.

As she unloaded potato chips, pastries, waffles, and pasta onto the conveyor belt, I wondered if she understood the risks she was taking. If she knew empty carbs were linked to breast cancer would she still buy them?

Forget Counting Calories. Do This Instead

Dear Member, Stop! Reader, beware! I was reading The New York Times recently and came across an article, “Calories Do Count.1 Doctors, public health officials, restaurant chain executives . . . are all jumping on the bandwagon about how much calories matter. “Good old calorie counting is coming back into fashion,” the reporter wrote.
