“Beware the prophet seeking profit.”

“Beware the prophet seeking profit.”

– Dennis Miller

Discussing the motive of Al Gore in his global warming activism.


See the video when Dennis Miller Shares His Thoughts on Al Gore, Global Warming, and Polar Bears – 10/14/09 in a conference with BIll O’Reilly on The O’Reilly Factor.

Consider this quote when hearing the prophet seeking profit on exercise and diet advice. It’s easy to defraud people on events and predicted results that are protracted over long periods of time.

Cheerios Claim, “lower your cholesterol 4% in six weeks” Makes it a Drug, Says FDA

The Food and Drug Administration gave General Mills Inc. a warning over its Cheerios cereal, saying the box’s claims about heart benefits contain “serious violations” of federal law. The FDA claims statements that the product is “clinically proven to help lower cholesterol” make the product a drug under federal law.

The FDA also took issue with a company-sponsored Web site mentioned on the Cheerios box. The Web site discusses the benefits of eating whole grains, but the FDA said some of the health claims about reducing cancer and heart-disease risk don’t comply with agency rules.

Cheerios response is as follows on cheerios.com

Cheerios’ soluble fiber heart health claim has been FDA-approved for 12 years, and Cheerios’ “lower your cholesterol 4% in 6 weeks” message has been featured on the box for more than two years.

The science is not in question. The scientific body of evidence supporting the heart health claim was the basis for FDA’s approval of the claim, and the clinical study supporting Cheerios’ cholesterol-lowering benefit is very strong. The FDA is interested in how the Cheerios cholesterol-lowering information is presented on the Cheerios package and website. We are in dialog with FDA, and we look forward to reaching a resolution.

Trust, But Verify

Trust, but verify.

– Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan used the phrase in public, but he was not the first person known to use it. When Reagan used this phrase, he was usually discussing relations with the Soviet Union and he almost always presented it as a translation of the Russian proverb “doveryai, no proveryai”

The phrase is commonly used by TV actor David Caruso’s character Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami.

Meet Nick Scott: Paralyzed with Spinal Injury, Turns Bodybuilder

In August 1998 his left front tire blew out and rolled his vehicle five and a half times. He was ejected though the driver’s side window, and his body collided with his own vehicle in mid-air — resulting in a spinal cord injury and spinal fractures at T-12 L-1, requiring titanium rods to be vertically bolted to his spine.

By 2005, Nick Scott graduated from University of Ottawa and became a personal trainer. He founded wheelchair-bodybuilding.com and is dedicated to increasing the awareness and popularity of wheelchair bodybuilding.

DON’T QUIT

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL,
WHEN THE ROAD YOU’RE TRUDGING SEEMS ALL UPHILL,
WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW, AND THE DEBTS ARE HIGH,
AND YOU WANT TO SMILE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGH,
WHEN CARE IS PRESSING YOU DOWN A BIT,
REST IF YOU MUST, BUT DON’T YOU QUIT.

Google Flutrends Processes Flu-related Search Terms to Plot Flu Activity Nationwide

Google has rolled out Flu Trends (www.google.org/flutrends), which uses computers to process millions of Internet searches people make for keywords that might be related to the flu — for instance “thermometer” “cough,” or “fever.” Flu Trends displays the results on a map of the U.S. and shows a chart of changes in flu activity around the country. Historical flu trend data are also overlayed. The x-axis of the graph represents the months of the year. Flu activity is represented in the y-axis. The data is meaningful because the Google division that created Flu Trends found a strong correlation between the number of Internet searches related to the flu and the number of people reporting flu symptoms.

Japanese Study: People with High Blood Pressure Who Get Less Than 7.5 Hours Sleep at Increased Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke

Reliable study of more than 1,200 Japanese adults with high blood pressure found that people who slept for less than 7.5 hours each night were more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke or die of cardiac arrest over a 4-year period. Man women who slept less than 7.5 hours per night experienced a 68% higher risk of heart attacks, cardiac arrest or strokes.

“Short sleepers” — people who fail to have a blood-pressure dip that normally occurs overnight were at even higher risk.

Waiting for latest study to appear in PubMed.gov
