by Louise September 20th, 2010 | Diet, Nutrition, Vitamins
It seems that there a lot of myths going around about including eggs in your diet. My grandfather used to have an egg every morning, and he attributed his good health to this (in addition to a glass of wine each night). However, I also had those aunts and uncles who criticized my grandfather for being so "careless" about his health, especially his cholesterol level.

Breast Cancer Advice for Men
by TJ Davis September 10th, 2010 | Cancer, Diseases
Breast cancer is a devastating diagnosis, especially for the women who have it. There is an abundance of information available for women on what to do, what to expect, and how to cope with having breast cancer. Admittedly, such knowledge is little comfort to the women who need it, but it is there, and it can be useful. Also useful, but scarcely available, is advice for men who are coping with the effects of cancer on the lives of the women they love, their families, and themselves.
