You can still read about the same topic here:

---  the original post follows below  ---

This is starting to get interesting. This Online PR News article, Senator McCain Files New Bill That Attacks Your Access to Supplements Bill Would Repeal Key Sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act says:
Senator McCain has filed a new bill that attacks your access to supplements and would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.
According to the Alliance for Natural Health USA, the bill is named The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA). DSSA would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and significantly diminish access to a broad range of dietary supplements. If passed it's likely that the FDA will have greater authority and oversight over dietary supplements.

---  the original post follows below  ---

Whether it's the holiday season or not, find out how many calories you burn, based on your activities, and how strenous they are. "Are you a bionic calorie burner or do you slink along at a slug’s pace? Ever wanted to know how many calories you burn while talking on the phone? Or during sex? Let MSNBC provide that motivational kick you need to get your exercise routine going," says MSNBC in the introduction to its, "Burning off the fat" calorie counter."

I test drove it and was a bit surprised at how few calories I burn. I guess that's because I'm basically a couch potato. Guess I need to watch how many calories I eat.

Drink Red Wine - Live Longer !?


This is such a fun topic for me, and this fountain of youth article is a fun read. I love to drink red wine, and sure, who wouldn't want to live longer! I'm staying optimistic that the animal studies suggesting that red wine or a substance in it, resveratrol, can really contribute to longevity. It might be a very long time until we really know for sure. But heck, I'm all for drinking more red wine for now. Bottoms up! Cheers!
