Quotes of the Day

If you're having problems getting a fair settlement from the insurer of a policy you bought on our own, try contacting the provincial department that overseas insurance companies or the provincial regulator. You can find the phone number online or possibly in your insurance policy. Hiring a public adjuster who, for a percentage of the payment (typically 5-10 percent), can negotiate with insurers on your behalf is another option. When all else fails and you have a major claim at stake, try contacting a lawyer who specializes in insurance matters. Expect to pay at least $150 per hour. [2019] - Eric Tyson

With the exception of electric toothbrushes, many brush heads are too big and difficult to maneuver around your mouth. For some of my clients, I suggest a brush designed for teens or young adults. Basically, you want a brush that fits your mouth. And brushes with small heads are generally easier, especially if you have crowded teeth. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

If you have tooth decay, you're presumably deficient in vitamin A and D. The most potent and easy way to consume the fat-soluble vitamins A and D together is cod liver oil (dosage: ​¼-½ teaspoon 2-3 times per day with meals for teens and adults for a total of ½-1½ teaspoons per day). Cod liver oils purchased at health food stores don't have any of their natural vitamin D intact. The best available cod liver oil in health food stores seems to be Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil without vitamin D added. Green Pasture produces the highest quality, most nutrient-dense cod liver oil on the market called Blue Ice fermented cod liver oil (www.traditionalfoods.org). Green Pasture's cod liver oil capsules equals about a quarter teaspoon (7-10 capsules per day, spread throughout the day). [2011] - Ramiel Nagel

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

It takes much less time to lose muscle mass and strength than to gain it, particularly if we're sedentary. Even if someone has been training diligently, a short period of inactivity can erase many of those gains. [2023] - Peter Attia
