According to research presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Vienna on May 23rd 2018, 22 percent of people in ...
Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating autoimmune neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord. Autoimmune means that defenses in the body that normally protect us from infections get confused, attacking the person’s own tissues.

Research suggests there are now five times as many “rectangular-shaped” women than those with the classic Marilyn Monroe hourglass shape.

Everywhere I look in my adventures of dietary reality checks, I find Gary Taubes. I thought I would add the epilogue to his book Good Calories, Bad Calories to give you an idea as to why. He gives a glimpse of the corruption in the medical science in a very considering way. In this sick society, ...
