    Taking Vitamins and Still Feeling Sick?

    Ever go to a restaurant where they refuse to cook your steak medium rare?

    The warning that your meat is not safe unless you cook it until it’s dry and brown is bad advice. It’s not justified by the facts and cooking your food that way can cause arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Many cooking techniques that achieve a high temperature trigger a chemical change called glycation that mimics aging. New studies have linked eating these foods to premature aging and a host of chronic diseases.

    Stop! Reader, beware!

    The Right Way to Snack…

    Dear Reader,

    But most people don’t do it right.
    One of the most important keys is to [...]
