Coffee is a health drink
IÕm a coffee drinker. Been so since law school. ItÕs the first thing I reach for after my morning trip to the bathroom. People are shocked when I say I need my cup of coffee after every meal, even after dinner. I even take a last cup just before going to bed. Most everyone said [...]

Obesity and BMI
Even during those times when my career was active and I hardly saw my kids, I took pains to make sure that they ate correctly. My absence was never an excuse to resort to food delivery from fastfoods. Of course, itÕs so much better now that I donÕt need to be employed elsewhere. It was [...]

Sometimes, we would go all the way to U.P. Los Ba–os. The Los Ba–os trips were always fueled by the thought of enjoying fresh milk and [...]

A GROUP of meat dealers in Metro Manila has threatened to cut off as much as 77 percent of the pork supply in Metro Manila by calling a three-day farm boycott starting FridayÉ
According to The Manila Times, “the meat dealers warned that the boycott would further push up the retail prices of [...]

Bye bye, Coca-Cola?
Coca-Cola, the drink my officemates couldnÕt eat their meals without, may soon be losing more business than it can afford in the First World as consumers become more aware of its nature as a Ònutritionally worthless and damaging productÓ. I suppose that means we can expect the soda manufacturing companies to dump more of their [...]

Drink to health
First, there were the health benefits of resveratrol in red wine. For those who do not like the taste of wine or canÕt drink alcohol, there is the red wine pill which may be commercially available soon.
Now wine research says that two compounds in blood plasma, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), connected with cardiovascular [...]
