Who says science can’t serve up some holiday cheer? As 2009 draws to a close, I’d like to share some of the studies I failed to mention during this passing year, and pay tribute to some outstandingly ridiculous achievements in food, health and safet…

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, celebrate fall, and enjoy the bounty of nature and the company of family and friends.
I love this holiday because it’s so important to take a break from focusing on all the problems in our world and in our liv…

I have been lazy lately about writing in my blog... be back soon :)
Thanks for the recipe once again!
Susana:
Looks wonderful!
So sweet of you to post the photo!
Whole wheat always better.
I made this recipe using whole wheat flour and brown sugar instead... everything is dark at home! :)
I was in a hurry so didn't have too much patient for the "roses" to raise but ended up being delicious! See photo :)
Thanks!
There are many compelling reasons to exercise. Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the incidence of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. It improves mental health, fosters strong muscles and strong bones. It also makes most parti…
If the photo of this golden, brown delicacy wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, let me describe the smell: It’s the essence of childhood dreams, the aroma of pleasure itself. At least for me.
Clearly I’m digressing this week from veggie and whole…

Is there such a thing as an unhealthy neighborhood?

Excellent post doctor. Thanks for providing more insight into the situation. There is more to this story however and namely the ingredient cited as one of culprits in What Is Really Making You Fat - High Fructose Corn Syrup This link points out that…
Coca-Cola’s CEO Muhtar Kent recently wrote a much viewed op-ed in the Wall Street Journal titled “Coke Didn't Make America Fat,” in which he claims Americans need more exercise, not another tax, and should “enjoy the simple pleasures of a Coca-Cola.…
Medical science has no cure for the common cold; symptomatic relief is the best we can offer as we wait for our body to overcome the viral illness.
Although the common cold is generally a mild disease and poses no real threat to overall healthy p…
You're absolutely correct! Healthy foods always seem more expensive while junk foods are cheap. It's no wonder why we have such an alarming increase in the number of people who are obese. Another problem is these kids have too many junk food choices…

Our health report card for 2009: Are we making progress?
As 2009 winds down and the season for gratitude is upon us, this is a great time to reflect on our progress and contemplate the road ahead. This year especially, with the ongoing debate over public-policy directions for the U.S. health-care system, the collective state of our health deserves our attention.

Recipes for a healthy and happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, celebrate fall, and enjoy the bounty of nature and the company of family and friends.

As a vegetarian cook I follow the traditional Thanksgiving meal quite loosely. The palette of my presentation will definitely abide… Continue

Are we exercising less or eating more?
There are many compelling reasons to exercise. Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce the incidence of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. It improves mental health, fosters strong muscles and strong bones. It also makes most participants happier and improves our looks.
Physical activity also burns calories. In the past few decades exercise has therefore become one arm of the two pronged approach to combat overweight and obesity. Exercise is the calories expended in the equati… Continue

Oh yeah, we're also pretty bad at a lot of other things, hmmm, like making the bed, keeping the house clean, and about a zillion other things.......:) Just joking.
Nice post. I'm a guy, we don't know how to wrap. That's why we pay the people at the Department stores to do it.....:)

There are lots of ecofriendly gift wrap options out there if you’re feeling the traditional, paper wrapping thing. If you want to branch out a bit, though, you might try wrapping some gifts this year using the trad…
