McDonald's Facing Lawsuit over Happy Meal Toys, Parental Authority Flies out the Window (BloggingStocks)

Jun 23rd 2010 6:48PM This has to be one of the stupidest lawsuit's I ever heard of. Not that McDonald's food is particularly healthy but still, suing them to take away a kid's little toy, I suppose they could sue doctor's for giving kid's lollipops. That'll teach'em. As regards eating right there is an interesting article here,
http://healthjournalclub.blogspot.com/2010/01/100-year-diet.html< /a>

that makes the case that people should just not eat anything that wasn't a food a 100 years ago. Sure get's rid of all the aspartame, trans-fats, GM foods, etc., that they try and pass off as foods these days.

KFC's 'Double Down' Gamble Pays Off (Slashfood)

May 19th 2010 9:49PM Well that does sound both glutinous and unhealthy, there is a quite interesting series of posts at the Health Journal Club by an MIT scientist who looking at the issue as an outsider comes to the conclusion that we need to be more worried about LOW cholesterol than high. If interested you can read on it here. http://healthjournalclub.blogspot.com/2010/04/statins-pregnancy-sepsis-cancer-heart.html

A Vitamin Cocktail to Live Longer and Healthier (That's Fit Canada)

Mar 28th 2010 7:54PM The evidence for the benefits from vitamin D is nothing short of astonishing and keeps coming in. From helping to ward off cancer to possibly curing the common cold to preventing influenza and other positive findings, the sunshine vitamin has a bright future indeed. When you throw in that because of poor diet and a modern lifestyle which decreases exposure to sunshine average vitamin D levels are likely lower than in the past, it is not a stretch to speculate that very many of the diseases of modern society may be directly related to or partially influenced by a deficiency of this lion of a vitamin. There is a little bit of an intro to the topic here,

and here

if anyone is interested. Also the web abounds with resources on the topic. Oh yes don't forget help with heart diseaes, obesity, asthma and bone health

So get out and enjoy the sun on your face this Spring. Won't even cost your a dime.

The Saga Continues: FDA (Sort of) Cracks Down on Misleading Labels (That's Fit)

Mar 5th 2010 11:14PM Well this is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black. It is now estimated that Vioxx caused some 140,000 heart attacks and 50,000 deaths by heart attack while it was on the market. Was that "fraudulent advertising" by the FDA when they promoted it for treatment of acute pain? If Vioxx were an isolated tragic example one might have some confidence but it is not. Now they are going after a food producer for failing to mention that ice cream has fat? Further, food can both treat and prevent medical conditions it is all over the medical literature who is the FDA to say this may not be spoken of, it is absurd. Let's put it another way, do carrots cure vitamin A deficiency night blindness? does food cure marasmus and Kwashiorkor's disease (i.e. starvation)? Do limes cure scurvy? Does water cure renal insufficiency brought on from dehydration? What do you mean people can't mention foods can treat and prevent diseases, what inanity and infringement of freedom of speech. Stop allowing chemical concoctions on the market that kill as many Americans as died in the Vietnam war and maybe someone will give a hoot about your warnings.
