(Source: University of Missouri-Columbia) For years, scientists have been proclaiming the benefits of exercise. Studies showing that regular exercise benefits human health have exploded in number, examining many health problems ranging from cancer and diabetes to arthritis and pre-mature death. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has found direct evidence to support the claim of the Centers for Disease Control that a reduction in daily physical activity is an actual cause of many of the risk factors for chronic diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The research team also found that it only takes about two weeks of reduced activity for individuals to start noticing the effects. The study is being published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) this week. |

Back in February, eonline columnist Ted Casablanca posted one of his infamous Blind Vices—if you’re not a gossip junkie, that’s a story so scandalicious that it has to be posted without using names or identifying clues—hinting that a certain prime time star was suffering from an eating disorder. In an unusual move, he revealed her identity today. |

Meat, poultry, eggs and dairy. Labels including "USDA Organic/Organic," "Not Treated with rBGH," "No Hormones Administered or Added" and "Certified Humane" are the real deal. Products labeled "No Antibiotics Used or Administered/Raised without Antibiotics," "No Hormones Administered" and "Grass-Fed" might also be worth it, although there are loopholes that may make them less meaningful. Buyer beware as "Free Range," "Free Roaming," "Cage-Free" and "Natural" have such loose requirements that animals could still have been mistreated.
Coffee and chocolate. Coffee and chocolate marked "USDA Organic/Organic," "Fair Trade Certified," "Rainforest Alliance Certified" and "Bird Friendly" are worth the extra cost. A label that might not be worth it is "Shade-Grown" as this label is not associated with a certifying organization. |

I don't know about you but I am always very confused when it comes eating salmon. Should I eat farmed or fresh? Most articles about eating fish publish charts on safe fish and fish to avoid and I find that salmon makes it into both columns. |
