There's a new book - Grain Brain. It's all the rage. Apparently within 4 weeks, they can "keep your brain healthy, vibrant, and sharp while dramatically reducing your risk for debilitating neurological diseases as well as relieving more common, everyday conditions - without drugs."

Hey - Dr. Oz endorses it. It's good enough for me. I hope that wine is on the diet, though, or I won't buy it and let it sit on my shelf unread (like all the other healthy living books I own).

I like all these healthy books, I keep them filed under "How to Start a Stupid Food and Diet Mythology and Make Big Bucks"

A woman I know is really pushing "Isagenix," which is a multi-level marketing company that makes self-professed "health" shakes.

The company funded a study that, amazingly enough, found that its products ARE healthy.

As an anorexo-dyslexic mother of 7 autistic children, a third of whom are gluten-intolerant, and half of whom have peanut allergies, I am concerned about gluten in vaccines, and how magnetic fields from power lines are affecting my childrens' ADHD and dyslexia: Should I take them off carbs entirely?

From what I've seen, the most fervent adherents of any fad diet or supplement are the people who are too lazy to exercise. So instead, they want the "magic bullet" of a mystical diet/supplement to keep them healthy or cure their health problems. Moving your body and eating a balanced diet will do more for you than any of the ridiculous and often expensive diets, cleanses, or supplements.
Exercise!

She's got Celiac, Celiac for sure!
And she's dieting like she's never dieted before...
