The Lactobacillus sporogenes Hoax
Recently, I received yet another sample of a probiotic to try. According to the label, it contained "Lactobacillus sporogenes- a shelf-stable, vegan probiotic that does not require refrigeration."

Farmed Salmon is Very Unhealthy

Measles, Vaccination & Misinformation
My husband sent me a link to this article - he was astute enough to label it "how to use the media to spread fear": http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080821/hl_nm/measles_usa_dc The article is supposedly letting us know that we're in serious danger of a catastrophic measles outbreak now that many are choosing not to vaccinate their children.

Should Parents Limit Video or Computer Games?
It's a common stance that parents should limit the number of hours per day, or per week, that their children are allowed to stay sedentary and "zoned out" playing electronic games.

Kids (And You!) Need LOTS of Animal Fats

Dangers of Vegetarian & Vegan Diets Long-Term
