Hot weight loss drugs tested as addiction treatments
When the diabetes treatments known as GLP-1 analogs reached the market in 2005, doctors advised patients taking the drugs that they might lose a small amount of weight. Talk about an understatement. Obese people can drop more than 15% of their body weight, studies have found, and two of the medications are now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight reduction. A surge in demand for the drugs as slimming treatments has led to shortages. “This class of drugs is exploding in popularity,” says clinical psychologist Joseph Schacht of the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Sugar Alternatives Can Be Just As Bad For Your Health
My South Florida practice sees a lot of diabetic patients. And I always feel honored that they have chosen to put their health in my care…
But I’m shocked when these patients tell me that their previous doctor or nutritionist recommended that they switch to zero-calorie soft drinks, no-sugar energy bars, and sugar-free yogurts as a “healthy” diabetic alternative.
Please don’t get me wrong…
I’m not suggesting that foods packed with high fructose corn syrup – the main sweetening ingredient used in thousands of products – are any better.
I’ve written to you before about the dangerous effects of cor...

Can This Breakfast Food Reverse Alzheimer ’ s?
I’m sure you’ve noticed how expensive eggs have gotten lately. The price has soared more than any other food in the supermarket…up 60% from one year ago.1
One reason for skyrocketing prices is the ongoing avian flu epidemic. But another reason is that demand for “nature’s perfect food” has increased substantially.
And that is good news because eggs are essential for your health – including the fight against Alzheimer’s.
And that means they’re worth every penny for the way they protect your brain.
Two breakthrough studies back up what I’ve been telling my patients for over three decades…
