No matter what your body type, losing muscle weight is nothing to be happy about. Read more...

Dear New York Post: Vegetarians, People With Food Allergies Aren’t “Picky Eaters” | Hanna Brooks Olsen | 12-14-2011 | BlissTree | The tone and content of this New York Post article does nothing to further the discussion surrounding an important issue around this time of year, when people are breaking bread (whether gluten-free or otherwise) with people of different backgrounds and lifestyles. Condemning everyone who can’t eat everything is closed-minded and disrespectful–not to mention terribly rude hostess behavior. New York Post, I’ll remember not to RSVP to your dinner parties.

Where Healing Begins | Wendy Strgar | December 7, 2011 | CARE2 | Healing is the good that happens slowly over time. Helen Keller accurately described this when she said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” Overcoming, strengthening and re-centering are the gifts in any crisis we face. It is the stuff of life that literally makes us what we are. Returning to our lives after a frightening diagnosis or a terrifying accident with the courage to heal is perhaps the single greatest force of love in life. Read more...

BRODER | December 7, 2011 | NYTimes DURBAN, South Africa — China, the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitter, has once again emerged as the biggest puzzle at international climate change talks, sending ambiguous signals about the role it intends to play in future negotiations.

Feds crack down on homeopathic weight loss remedy | 12-06-2011 WASHINGTON (AP)"These products are marketed with incredible claims and people think that if they're losing weight, HCG must be working," said Elizabeth Miller, of FDA's division for non-prescription drugs and health fraud, in a statement.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Needed weight loss can be accomplished by simply eating correctly. Balance is the key here. As time permits, I will post more articles regarding proven weight loss formulas that simply include a solid nutritional plan known to work.

Bottom line: A little rice, apples or grapes in our diet will give us health benefits, so don't worry.
Ojo Caliente Hot Springs of NM have arsenic water, as well as iron, soda, lithium, etc. Soaking in a hot arsenic water bath offers tremendous benefits to older people with diagnosed chronic health issues and is very benficial. Yet I would not recommend drinking this water.
