I find that Morgan Spurlock’s series 30 Days to be really fascinating and a definate eye opener. In the first of this series, Mogan Spurlock worked as a coal miner for 30 days to see if you would develop black lung. If you have never heard of black lung before, you should know that it’s a condition that affects coal miners. It would seem that America still has coal mines unlike Britain who has Margaret Thatcher to blame for that (!).
You have a much more likely chance of developing black lung if you inhale coal dust over a period of many years which is why people tend to suffer from it over the age of 50.

Although Fern Britton says that she did lose weight by eating healthy and exercising, I’m just not sure why she then felt the need for the gastric band.
Anyway, she says that she didn’t feel the need to tell everybody about it because it’s private but because the media were making speculations she decided to announce it on This Morning today. Read the rest of this entry »
Who here has asthma or know someone who does? I’m guessing it’s probably a very high percentage which is why a type of drug called bronchodilators are selling like hot cakes all around the world. It’s estimated that about 300 million people globally have asthma and in the US, people have spent more that six million dollars in 2007. Besides the cost, the main problem with these drugs is that if you use them over a long period of time there are a number of health risks associated with them.

However whatever report you decide to believe, you need to understand that chocolate should only ever be eaten in moderate amounts.
The reason why chocolate is studied so much is because of a certain class of phytochemicals called flavonoids. The one that is of most interest is called epicatechin.
