- Dogs pretty good at diagnosing cancer, see here and here. True story: my dog likes me, but loves my husband. It's ok - I don't take it personally. But, since I got cancer, my dog spends a lot more time hanging around me. When I read stories like this, I don't know whether to be touched or terrified. :-)
- Practice prevention to avoid heart disease - good advice here for the other diseases as well. Vancouver Sun.
- Healthy snacks. Financial Post.
- Childhood obesity caused by bad habits, not genes. Bloomsburg Business Week.
- Report out of India disagrees with previous studies and says that cell phones do pose a significant health hazard.
- The benefits of drinking tea. The book featured in this article sites the studies that say it helps prevent recurrence of breast cancer. I thought this was disproved. I need someone to clarify this for me. Luckily, I'm still taking my green tea supplement and drinking tea 2 to 3 times a day for its other benefits (but some days I get sick of tea). Vancouver Sun

Cyn, I saw a story about dogs sniffing out cancer on tv once and it was fascinating. As a dog lover, I might have to blog about it sometime for a lot of reasons. Thanks for the link. I really like Craig Ferguson a lot too, but he's on too late here for me. I think he's way better than Letterman and Leno too!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I usually set the PVR for one if it looks interesting, or try to catch it on the East Coast feed - one of the perks of living on the West Coast!
