After Dr. Oz called raspberry ketones a miracle fat
burner, bottles of the supplement have been flying off the shelves. As we
previously reported, raspberry ketones have been linked with weight loss in
laboratory mice. The effect on humans is not so certain.
The Virgin Diet
Green Tea – Cancer Fighter
Green tea gets a lot of positive press. It is a delicious
beverage, a fad diet and a staple in many households. A recent research study
has shown that women who drink green tea have a measurably lower risk of
cancer. What’s not to like about that?
The Science of Black Friday
The huge sales on the day after Thanksgiving are a
tradition that seems to overshadow the holiday itself for many people. Staying
up all night, standing in lines, fighting through throngs of crazed shoppers;
these are all intrinsic parts of the Black Friday experience. Why do we put
ourselves through this torture? Scientists may have some answers.
The Hormone Diet
Dr. Oz is at it again. He recently hosted Dr. Natasha Turner,
who discussed the impact of hormones on belly fat. Dr. Turner has written several
books on the subject, and she shared some of her insights on how adjusting our
hormone levels can safely and easily melt away that nasty belly fat.
Dr. Oz 3-Day Detox Cleanse
We are in a constant hurry. We want instant rice, 7
minute abs and overnight success. It is no wonder that we crave quick-hitting
solutions to our weight issues. Dr. Oz
has a new 3 day detox, or cleanse, that promises to get us on the path to losing
that spare tire around our middle.
Praise for Diet Soda
It is rare to find anyone in the health community saying
something nice about soda. Even diet soda has a bad reputation with the health-conscious.
But given the massive amount of soda consumed every year, doesn't it make sense
to encourage people to drink diet soda?
This Is Your Brain Multitasking
Do you think you study better when music is playing? Are you a
great multi-tasker? Or do you shut out all external distractions and focus in on the matter at hand, ignoring everything around you? New research on brain activity
and our response to distractions might surprise you.
Multivitamins and Cancer
A previous article discussed the surprising research that
tied supplement use to increased mortality in older women. Science rarely
follows a straight line, so it shouldn't be too surprising the new research
shows that multivitamins may help to prevent cancer in men. Here are the
details.
Psychopaths and CEOs
Many times a business leader is said to have a “killer
instinct.” But does he really? Does climbing to the top of that slippery pole really
take ruthlessness and a cold-blooded urge to win? After generations of
muttering and whispers, some scientific research has shown that you don’t need
to be Jack the Ripper to run a billion-dollar enterprise, but you will
share much of his personality.
