ugh, I hate that!

My curly hair and rosy complexion.

and he identified these toxins how? was the mass spec even invented at that point?

I love how all of the studies were published between 1929-1935. DUDE! get something a little more current!!

Of course I can, because clinical evidence is more important than individual anecdotes. There is NO evidence that cleanses are any more effective than just eating a healthy diet.

Exactly this. YOu don't need to puy any products. Just eat better. You will feel just as good.

I watched Hoarders on Monday night, and one scene was so nasty I literally had to run to the bathroom and puke!!

This is correct. In a large scale study funded by the NIH (not quackery by any definition), a low carb diet was better than a low fat diet at improving cholesterol over the long term. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/17/AR2008071701058.html http://www.dukehealth.org/health_library/news/9412

I'm causasian with super curly hair (see pic) and I just wear it curly.

Low carb diets have been shown to improve cholesterol. (it's true!) from WebMD: Low carb diets improve cholesterol long term http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/news/20100802/low-carb-diets-improve-cholesterol-long-term I am on a low carb diet, I have PCOS and these were my last numbers: LDL 104 HDL 117 (not a…

I'm assuming you already don't eat vegetables, so you won't be any less healthy. Bread is not a vegetable substitute. :) as for cholesterol, clinical studies have shown that a low carb diet improves cholesterol. For myself, the fewer carbs I eat, the better my cholesterol is. Last time I had my HDL measured it was 117 (not…

This is why God made Spanx.

abs transplant! serious answer: The best you can realistically hope for is to drop a pound or two of bloating.

I don't know about crazy, but she is misinformed and nasty, and you should ignore her efforts to sabotage you.

I have to disagree. Water is the #2 most important thing your body needs in order to live. Oxygen is #1. The others are sleep and food. Your body is VERY smart about telling you when it needs those things. why would your body be bad at telling you when it needs water? It's not. Thirst is an excellent indicator. Remember…

Just want you all to know that we have a PCOS group here on MFP! Click here to join. there are many great people there who help and support each other. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/153-pcos-cysters-losing-together I also want to add, even if you are not trying to conceive, it is important to address your PCOS,…

Yes. Don't drink so much water. You don't need to . The advice to drink 8 cups of water a day has no scientific basis. You should be peeing 5-6 times a day. If you're peeing more than that, you are probably drinking too much.

yes, you will get skinny, because you are starving. I've reported the thread, btw.

I just clicked on a few links in the blog, and it is a pro-ana blog. Don't do it, it is extremely unhealthy.

You're too young. there used to be commercials all the time. At this point, it has just become universally accepted.

12 ounces of coffee has about 250 mg of potassium. Many other foods have potassium as well. for the most part, you probably don't need to worry about it, unless you drink gallons of water as MFP and women's magazines urge you to do. If you drinnk when you are thirsty, as nature intended, your potassium levels will be…

absolutely yes. they had a HUGE marketing campaign in the 70s, and it got stuck in the culture. Other foods are FAR better sources of potassium, for cheaper and for fewer calories.

not to beat a dead horse, but sugar is sugar. there is no good sugar.

bananas are NOT the best source by far!!!! we've been brainwashed by commercials and marketing campaigns. The other sources that people have named here are far better, with less calories and fat. Another one that no one has mentioned is potassium salt. You can find it in the spice section as a salt substitute. Use it…

Red hair, blue eyes, blonde hair, NONE of that is going to go extinct! that was just a stupid hoax. Even if the genes are recessive, there will still be people with red hair and blue eyes.

For people insulin issues, you're right. I'm insulin resistant. The problem with fruit is that they usually contain MANY types of sugars, not just fructose. Rather than try to learn which fruits have high sucrose, I just avoid most fruit except for berries. Yes, the apples/oranges/bananas everyone loves will mess with your…

I use the free version of Cardio Trainer on my droid. works great!
