Did you think about Thursday’s Memo? Especially if you’ve gotten into heated discussions about health on social media? I feel bad for anyone who was a victim of bots and trolls. I generally get the aftermath of a discussion—people who read what I write about vaccinations or artificial sweeteners or some health issue and think […]
Have you heard any of these about vaccinations on social media or the Internet? “Big Pharma only wants vaccine profits.” “Natural immunity is better.” “Vaccines cause autism.” If you’ve read those articles, they seem to be full of truth about vaccinations, don’t they? Did you ever get into a conversation with someone who posted these […]
Vaccinations for infants and children always inspire debate. Sometimes, fierce debate. Today I’m going to look at a study that examined whether it’s safe for pregnant women to get the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination or if it increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in their babies. Researchers examined the records […]
Have you decided whether the extra years you may get by eating too many or too few carbohydrates are worth the effort? How about if you don’t have to make that choice at all? What if you could eat more or fewer carbs and not have to worry about it? Here are the other significant […]
Yesterday I talked about a Lancet study that says too many carbs are bad and can kill you—but so can too few carbs. The logical question to ask is: what timeline are we talking about? Is it 10 years or 20 years or more? Based on the results of the study, let’s compare the extremes […]
That’s exactly what I thought when I looked at my health news feed pictured above. Carbohydrates will kill you—maybe. Too many are bad. Too few are bad. It’s all referencing the same study published in Lancet Public Health. What the heck is going on? You’ve heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? […]
Every joint in your body has a joint capsule and within the capsule is a liquid called synovial fluid. It’s made by the inner lining of the capsule and provides nutrients to the joint cartilage and other structures. It also provides cushioning to the joint. Even when we stand, the fluid in the knee joint […]
Let’s continue with the theme of the simplest solution often being the correct one. Migraines are a devastating form of headache. While most causes are unknown, people have identified triggers from chocolate to sounds to odors and more. My pretend daughter Jamie suffers from them on a regular basis. As I researched how to deal […]
One of the basic tenets of health and disease that I’ve learned is this: often the simplest solution is the correct one. Think of it this way. Whether we want to be the healthiest we can be or we have something that afflicts us, we think in terms of elaborate solutions. Instead, think of building […]
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is this: “Should I take probiotics when I take antibiotics? I don’t want to negate the benefits of the antibiotics.” Based on the summary of the Cochrane Review, I think there’s enough evidence to say that you should take probiotics any time you have to be […]
