Baby's Right to Life
Now, this story is just sad and deserves your full attention. This baby has stopped breathing three times already. To keep the doctors from letting her die, the parents have had to go to court. On the other hand, the doctors feel she will not survive infancy, so what is the point of putting her...

CHICAGO Officials say a Chicago woman was able to con police and firefighters into donating to a diabetes walk-a-thon that she never intended to enter. More at http://www.wqad.com/Global/story.asp?S=2343442. I've often wondered how often something like that takes place. Anyone can pick up a form for...

Low-Carb Food Labels
This almost sounds like a personal grudge to me: The federal government is putting Canadian food producers on a strict carbohydrate labelling diet that could knock a number of new product lines off grocery store shelves next year. Health Canada says there's no scientific evidence to support low-carb...

Egg Safety
Coming from a rural environment, I can't recall once thinking about egg safety in any way other than not breaking an egg until is was time to fry it. It seemed so simple then. You order chicks, they live in a box under the bed until they are big enough and the weather is warm enough for them to go...

Crohn's Disease
I was in my early 20's the first time I knew someone with Crohn's disease, or so I thought. Later, I found out I had grown up with someone who had it. She was in her early 30's before she was diagnosed. In the meantime, I have of at least a couple of interventions, accusing her of having an eating...

Side Effects of Atkins
I found this kind of interesting, but never experienced any of the side effects while on a low carb diet. At six months, Atkins dieters lost as much body fat as those on low-calorie, low-fat diets. And in the short term they lost more weight and some had better cholesterol improvement. But after a...
