    Well, according to someone I know, you shouldn't drink milk because "it's an enzyme". And from the same person, you should eat cous cous instead of semolina, because semolina is WHITE and therefore it's bad for you.

    This is amazing. For those who may not be in on the subtleties, couscous is MADE of semolina.

    That was the funniest part of all. :D

    I can't believe that the blood type diet still rears its ridiculous head pretty often... it didn't make sense when I tried it 20 years ago (yes, I was suckered into it!) and it doesn't make sense now.

    I heard that green tea is good, though.

    Dr Oz has reached the bottom of the barrel now. I just saw his new magazine promoting...The 1-Day Diet. Seriously.

    I never heard this song until today. And it's ten years old. I truly feel like a fossil. :'(

    It's actually 20 years old, was released in 1995. How do you feel now? :D

    This might be a dumb question, but doesn't regular water drinking help with digestion ? Ergo, help with weight loss somehow ?

    My generation's version of that song was a title of an Allman Brother's album.
