Controlled studies have shown that spanking can be correlated with increased violent behavior in children as well as lack of emotional regulation. It also shows positive correlation with mental health issues and substance abuse in adults. Time has a good run-down, but there are many more studies in sociology and psychology…

You have ruined absolutely nothing. Unless you decide, right now, that you completely give up and will not or cannot ever eat healthy in the future nothing is ruined. ^That sounds pretty silly to think just because you had an extra ___________________ [slice of pizza, chocolate bar, bag of chips, soda, etc.], right? Do you…

A couple of suggestions from someone who used to have some serious stomach problems: Quit the gum. I totally understand that it's hard (I used to go through a pack a day), but the artificial sweeteners in that can actually really mess up your digestive system (there are warnings on a lot of gums and throat drops in Europe…

You are absolutely right that agave, honey, etc. are all types of sugar. But there are different types of sugar. The reason that agave is sweeter (approximately 1.5 times) is because it contains a higher proportion of fructose (about 90 percent) in relation to glucose.

I'm not trying to be a downer, because I've struggled with my weight my entire life. But your idea that there is a "definitive" answer means that you fundamentally don't understand the scientific process. Anyone who works in the science will tell you that almost everything you've learned as 'fact' (even about things like…
