Quotes of the Day

Canned beans are as healthy as boiled beans--with one exception: sodium. Salt is often added to canned beans, resulting in sodium levels up to 100 times more than if you cooked them without any salt. I recommend purchasing the no-salt-added varieties and cooking with the bean liquid in whatever dish you're whipping up. The only legumes I have the patience to cook from scratch are lentils. They cook quickly and don't need to be presoaked. You can just simmer them as you would pasta, in a pot with an abundance of water, for about half an hour. [2015] - Michael Greger

I invest heavily in oil, gold, and silver companies. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Direction to take a girl: First, open. Then demonstrate higher value. Next, build rapport and an emotional connection. And, finally, create a physical connection. [2005] - Neil Strauss

Here is a potential structure of buying a new build: 1) $5,000 on singing the contract; 2) In the first 30 days, you'll give 5% of the purchase price; 3) Within 90 days, you give a second 5% deposit; 4) Within 120 or 180 days, your third deposit is due which is another 5%. 5) On occupancy, your final 5% deposit is due for a total of 20% down. Many builders take two to four years to close, so you really have quite a bit of time to save for the final 5% deposit and closing costs. This is the route I chose with my first few properties. [2021] - Shazia Virani

The peril posed by iron is unique among all dietary minerals. It's the most abundant and potent oxidant in the body but your body doesn't have a way to get rid of excess iron, unlike other minerals. Iron in food and supplements appears to be one of the most--if not the most--potent dietary drivers of increased cancer risk. In an alarming study of over 300,000 people in Taiwan, cancer risk increased with increasing serum iron. Other, smaller studies also show increased risk of certain cancers with increasing body iron stores. [2016] - Preston Estep III
