Who doesn’t love seeing contestants on NBC-TV’s “The Biggest Loser” become the biggest winners when they take control of their health and life—aided by near-guerrilla tactics doled out by the best in the (weight loss) business?

It’s the weekend. Feels like a great time for a steak: a fat, juicy, marbled, delectable piece of meat. Heart attack on a plate. There.

Sugar shocked? Sugar’s bitter role in boomer heart disease, cancer

We Americans should be feeling pretty “sweet” since we consume 130 pounds of sugar every year.
