Not All Cranberry Supplements Prevent UTIs
(Reuters Health) - Taking cranberry supplements has long been recommended to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI), but it’s important to choose the right products, researchers say.

Is the Acai Berry a Superfood or a Super Scam?
A juice bar/health food restaurant located along my dog walking route is always crowded with diners sitting at sidewalk tables and eating large mounds of a mud colored food with the consistency of chocolate pudding.

"Do you know what they are eating?" I asked my dog walking companion. "It is Acai," she responded. "It comes from a...
