All olive oils are not created equally

One of the key ingredients to a long and healthy life is olive oil. For years dietitians have been promoting the use of olive oil as a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. Because of its rich source of tocopherols, carotenoids and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory properties olive oil has been shown to provide cardiovascular and anti-cancer effects.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — The link between gut health and food sensitivities

It is estimated that more than 33 million Americans have food allergies and/or sensitivities, including almost six million children under age 18 — but that is likely a gross undercalculation. The most common food allergies include milk and dairy, eggs, fish and shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans, but people can be sensitive to just about anything.

HEALTH: A step in right direction

Audacious! After the Supreme Court decision, President Obama said the health care plan was not done for political reasons, but because it was the right thing to do. It’s ironic that Obama’s health care plan was first introduced by Romney, who is now attacking it.
