The government is forcing one of Dr. Oz's favorite supplement peddlers to pay out $9 million to consumers after making deceptive and unsubstantiated claims about weight loss products.

In December, researchers writing in the British Medical Journal examined the health claims showcased on 40 randomly selected episodes of the two most popular internationally syndicated health talk shows, The Dr Oz Show and The Doctors.

Try living in big cities in bad neighborhoods. With bullets flying from feuding gangs.

For decent neighborhoods, kids are Vid game hooked.

For Senior’s like me, health in the form of spinal degeneration, OA, OP and exercising is not doable.

All you can do is control what you eat. All I have to do is look at a carb and I’d gain weight. I ate 1 small baked potato, half cup carrots and 3 slices of half a pork tenderloin. NO other food. This morning I was 1 lb heavier. Fluids were 3 cups black coffee, QT of power aid, and 2 natural detox drinks that I keep watering down as the day progresses until I’ve drank close to 3/4th gallon of fluids.

In my SIL’s case the man is a work-a-holic very active man. To much fast food.
