The problem is, not all nutrition information is created equal -- or is even correct. <p> </p> Use the same healthy skepticism with online information that you use to evaluate other nutrition claims. <p> </p> Does the information come from a reliable source? Usually, web addresses with the suffixes .gov, .edu and .org are the most reliable. Those ending in .com are commercial sites, and .net are networks, Internet service providers or organizations. Many .com's have responsible consumer information, but you need to be a savvy consumer and ask good questions <p> </p> Are a site's nutrition and health claims backed up by specific scientific research? You want cold, hard facts, not opinions and personal testimonials.<br /><br /><span language="javascript" onClick="window.open('http://www.webdirectory808.com/Health.html');" onMouseOut="window.status='';" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.webdirectory808.com/Health.html';" style="color:blue; cursor:pointer;"><u>Read More</u></span><br /><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br /> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656732878881479020.post-91266638580748084882007-10-13T08:28:00.000-07:002007-10-13T08:29:34.876-07:00Malnutrition among Ilonggo pre-schoolers declineTHE prevalence of malnutrition among pre-school children in Iloilo has decreased from 40.8 percent in 1998 to 14.85 percent in 2006. <BR> <BR> This was disclosed by Iloilo Provincial Nutrition Program Coordinator Rosarie San Luis in an interview with the Philippine Information Agency recently. <BR> <BR> Pinoy Votes: Sun.Star Election 2007 Coverage <BR> <BR> View here the list of local winners <BR> <BR> Data obtained showed that the prevalence of malnutrition among pre-schoolers in the province was recorded at 40.8 percent in 1998, it went down to 20.4 percent in 2004, 16.7 percent in 2005 and 14.85 percent last year. <BR> <BR> San Luis attributed the decline to the integrated nutrition, health, agriculture and environment programs being implemented by the provincial government and the different municipal nutrition councils.<br /><br /><span language="javascript" onClick="window.open('http://www.webdirectory808.com/Health.html');" onMouseOut="window.status='';" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.webdirectory808.com/Health.html';" style="color:blue; cursor:pointer;"><u>Read More</u></span><br /><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br /> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656732878881479020.post-88817393011068814272007-10-07T05:50:00.000-07:002007-10-07T05:52:47.927-07:00Coria 'lost $12 million'THE lawyer for Guillermo Coria told a jury yesterday the Argentine player had lost two seasons, millions of dollars and his reputation because of "sloppy manufacturing" that tainted a multi-vitamin with a steroid. </p> <p> Trace amounts of a steroid not listed on the label led to a positive doping test and a mandatory suspension for Coria, who climbed as high as third in the ATP rankings, Coria's lawyer Will Nystrom said yesterday. </p> <p> "To make matters worse, Guillermo was branded as a cheater," Nystrom told the eight-person jury in New Brunswick, New Jersey, hearing Coria's case against Universal Nutrition, maker of a multivitamin the player took. </p> <p> If Coria prevails, experts believe it would be the first time a world-class professional athlete proved that a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs was caused by product contamination.<br /><br /><span language="javascript" onClick="window.open('http://www.webdirectory808.com/Health.html');" onMouseOut="window.status='';" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.webdirectory808.com/Health.html';" style="color:blue; cursor:pointer;"><u>Read More</u></span><br /><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br /> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656732878881479020.post-89385721370438254712007-08-15T09:14:00.000-07:002007-08-15T09:16:35.804-07:00Tips for Making Healthy Choices at Fast Food RestaurantsMore and more people are turning to fast food restaurants for not only their breakfast, but their lunch and supper as well.
