POPSDeceptive Techniques of Food Labels, What You Read is NOT What You Get!
The FDA website shares some tips on how to understand and use the Nutrition Facts Label http://www.fda.gov/Food/LabelingNutrition/ConsumerInformation/ucm078889.htm Have you ever really looked at what is considered a ‘serving size’? I laughed when I first started seeing this on packages. I had been eating more than one serving size pretty much my whole life, and still do. I think most of us do. The problem I have with eating right is knowing whether or not I’m getting the right amount of nutrients necessary for optimum health and a strong immune system. Most doctors will tell you that you can obtain all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need from a normal healthy diet. It would be good if this was the case but because of the degradation of the food supply it has become almost impossible to achieve a diet for optimal health and the prevention of degenerative disease. I guess this is why the nutritional supplement market is so wide open.

POPSWhy The Left is Horrified at Joe Wilson's Liar Statement Joe Wilson only said what 75% of the American people were thinking. And since the Democrats won't even meet with Republicans to discuss health care reform; since they reject tort reform; since they really do allow illegal immigrants to get free health care; since they lie repeatedly about improving care; since simple mathematics refutes the concept of adding tens of millions to the health care system while 'improving care', 'covering preexisting conditions' and 'not adding to the deficit'... well, there are about 200 million Americans who think that Obama is lying. And the Democrats will be committing political suicide in 2010 if they try to ram this tyrannical, socialist fraud down the American people's throats.

POPSMcCain Team Strikes Back John McCain advisors James Woolsey, Kori Schake, John Lehman, and Randy Scheunemann held a conference call regarding Barack Obama’s comments, praising the 1993 world trade center bombing trial as a model for fighting terrorists. Bottom line: The McCain camp clearly sees this as an opening to argue that Obama is out of touch and dangerously naive about how to deal with terrorists. And if Obama really intends to make the 1993 trial the model for handling terror detainees he should be prepared for some tough questioning about the consequences of that option. The attackers only look incompetent when the attacks fail to do what the plotters had intended. It is not a good strategy to hope that attacks will fail. It is a dangerous tendency to minimize the potential of failed attacks and to write off the plotters as bumblers. http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/06/more_obama_confusion_on_terror.asp

POPSSunscreens - do they really protect agains skin cancer? The bottom line is that current sunscreens really do not protect against skin cancers and other problems with UVA. Also many claim to be waterproof or sweatproof, but there have been no guidelines for these claims. Better use a hat and cover up if you are sun sensitive!
