I have decided to make this a bi-monthly series, mostly because life is making it challenging to put these together every week. 🙂

That being said, here’s what I found interesting the last couple weeks…

The Fun Theory, a video about Lipitor, calories in vs. calories out, the brain-gut connection, AHA and soy, protein and low carb diets, bacon, GERD, hormone replacement therapy and cancer, inflammation and heart disease, invisible shoes, resigning adulthood, a detailed food chart, healthy babies and mothers, eating with your hands, exercising less, a cookie recipe, a great old fashioned food organization, an up and coming food quality certification company and my new Twitter account.
