The truth about heart attacks & how to prevent them
If my father were still alive, he would have been 101 years old on December 9th. Instead, he died at the age I am now, of a massive heart attack. So clearly (and understandably), heart attack prevention is very near and dear to me, and I have spent the better part of my adult life making sure that my Dad’s fate does not become mine. Unfortunately, when it comes to heart attacks, there is...

Don’t believe the lie—statins are NOT safe!
Anyone in the advertising world will tell you that sex sells. Just check out a Victoria’s Secret ad to see this for yourself—those overpriced bras don’t sell themselves; you know.

Got high blood pressure? This is worse than salt!
An interesting phenomenon occurs once a statement is repeated over and over and over again. It’s believed to be true, even when that’s not necessarily the case! Take cigarettes, for example. For years the tobacco industry paid enough people off to repeatedly deny that smoking causes lung cancer. Until the evidence was undeniable, that is.
