Alcohol is bipolar. It can be fun and high society, or sleazing and seedy. Probably why we all like it so much–without it I’d never have a girlfriend!

But, a big reason people drink is to relieve stress. You’ve seen it in the movies, the lonely detective pours a scotch after a rough day on the beat.

And, there may be some truth to that. A new study tests the idea that people drink because it eases anxiety, not because we like it.

Hamilton, diabetes clinical services chief at The Methodist Hospital in Houston…

Most of us have faced cooking for one at some time or another.

Problem is, when you work long hours, you may be in no mood to come home and whip up a storm in the kitchen–for one person. But, you probably want to eat well and feel healthy too. It’s a bit of a catch-22!

Like many second-in-commands before her (let’s be honest, the First Wife is REALLY the next in power), current First Lady Michelle Obama has championed causes close to her heart.

Most hyped was her “first garden,” the Whitehouse’s organic backyard garden, and her work encouraging Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables.

And now, Michelle wants to help put an end to the United States’ growing obesity problem.

was researching safflower oil and came across this site and wanted to share what i know about safflower oil.

I too, bought the w.w. magazine with that article about losing weight on that oil. Two yrs. ago, i lost 20 lbs. taking tonalin cla and have since gained back 10 lbs. but that was my fault, i let it slip up on me.

i started with the oil 3 weeks ago, have had no problems at all taking it, no loose stools at all. i also take green tea supp. i can tell i have lost a little in the way my jeans fit in the stomach. i take mine in the morning with breakfast. i have noticed i don’t get hungry for a long time, but i was thinking it was because of the protein i was eating at breakfast (2 eggs cooked in microwave) natural pb and banana. i have always taken fish oil supplements, too.

does anyone think that is to much oil going into my system?
