It's true that retirees don't want to run out of money. But neither do they want to be idle in their retirement years and pass away with vast amounts of unused wealth. [2019] - Daryl Diamond

The ketogenic diet involves eating a high-fat, very low-carbohydrate diet that mimics fasting for the purpose of generating ketones in the body. Ketones are created from fat stored in the body when carbohydrates are not available for metabolism to make glucose. The ketones are used as an energy source by cells in place of glucose. While normal healthy cells can adapt to use ketones as an energy source, cancer cells cannot adapt the same way because they rely on glucose to keep up with their high energy demands. When glucose is low, tumors have difficulty growing. Ketones also interfere with the ability of cancer cells to obtain energy, making tumors more likely to respond to treatment when the patient is adopting a ketogenic diet.  [2019] - William W Li

Numismatic coins (coins that have achieved value due to their rarity) carry a high markup, so if you were to liquidate them, you may get only 70% on the dollar (or less). Most people sell their coins to coin dealers, but these dealers will basically offer you wholesale prices since they will end up trying to resell the coins at retail. Consider selling coins to other investors or collectors as they are easier to find now through the Internet. [2008] - Paul Mladjenovic

Recent testing confirms the effectiveness of Listerine in removing plaque from teeth and shows that rinsing twice a day is as effective for removing plaque as flossing once a day. Listerine exerts its antibacterial effect mainly on immature bacteria, so rinsing every 12 hours is important. The bonus of Listerine is that rinsing reaches everywhere in the mouth whereas only about 25% of the mouth is cleaned by flossing and brushing. Look for the original formula or a taste you can tolerate. Avoid rinses that are advertised for plaque control, whitening, or have other features that are unnecessary. [2025] - Ellie Phillips
