Got cravings? Here’s why (and how to stop them)
My late mother Freida used to have a theory about pregnancy cravings. She craved watermelon like it was disappearing tomorrow when she was pregnant with my brother Bob.

I have a story to tell you—do you see yourself in it?
I have been in the health field since the early 80s and have also been blessed with a very sharp memory. As such, I can remember what things were like 40 years ago in terms of people’s health as compared to now. And I’ve got to say, hands down, that we are FAR sicker today than we were 40 years ago, and probably have ever been in our existence. I was a health claims...
