Nutrition Facts or Fat Lies?
If you haven't heard of Adult Onset Diabetes, it's because this disease no longer attacks just adults. The reason it used to be "adult onset" was because lifestyle issues are what would bring it on. Of course the pharma-backed medical establishment is going to insist this is a typical "disease" best treated by "drugs" even though there is mounting evidence such as this article to indicate it's lifestyle that creates the situation, not just genetics.
There's a phenomenal series at the Washington Post that covers the complex topic of Childhood Obesity, including who's to blame and what steps to take in order to fight this condition.
Three days of the week, I wake up at 5am to train, then head to my chiropractor's office. Chiropractic has come a long way since the days when they were considered by many to be "just back crackers." I still see people roll their eyes when the topic is discussed, but the fact is just as some people are stuck in the past with regard to carbohydrates and still think it's as simple as "simple vs. complex" (it's not - read about Human Petroleum) chiropractic has a growing body of science to support it's notion that the brain is what controls the body and it's important to keep the pathways to the body open. The National Institute of Health is going to conduct a study on how one chiropractor's treatment helps patients with jaw disorders — hopefully this will help shed more light and expand everyone's awareness of how beneficial this practice can be.
I've been preaching the benefits of healthy fats (specifically fish oil) for years ... a new study suggests fish oil is good for people with insulin resistance.
It looks like as consumers we need to continue to defend our rights because we continue to be bombarded with lies, lies, lies. While companies are taking great strides to provide healthier choices and disclose important information, there is still work to be done. Take, for example, this investigation which revealed that the so-called "nutrition facts" that are published by several restaurants turn out to be, well, can we say "liberal embellishments"?
As for staying fit ... I'm continuing my journey. Today I trained hard in the evening and so far am up to date with my workouts this week, which I continue to chronical in my training journal.
Warmly,

There's nothing you can do about them liers, it's easy income ripping people who easily believe everything that's written on the internet.
Although luckily we do have a soluiton. That is google'ing up different pages to see what other people are saying about the program you'r interested in.
E.g. I just made a blog comparing two products in the same area.
