Quotes of the Day

Loyalty is earned with friendliness, responsiveness, ease of doing business, fair value, and the good feeling customers get when they call you, visit you, or interact with you. [2005] - Jeffrey Gitomer

Erythritol is derived from corn, and because the body does not recognize this product, it will be touted as calorie-free. Like all zero-calorie products, this may not be a healthy attribute, and I do not promote erythritol or suggest you mix it with xylitol or allow yourself to be swayed by research that asks you to believe that erythritol is superior to xylitol. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

If you've been in bed for a while and you don't feel like sleep is going to happen anytime soon, you can get up and go do some quiet activity until you feel more sleepy. If you're not too bothered by the situation, I recommend simply lying there and resting. Plan out your dream vacation. Plan a surprise date with your partner or a thoughtful gift for a coworker. It's important to remember that resting even without sleeping is good for you too. You're not wasting your time if you're lying in bed and not sleeping. If this is happening frequently, listen to your body. You're going to bed too early. It's time to go to bed a little later. [2017] - W. Chris Winter

A practical way to identify an ultra-processed product is to check to see if its list of ingredients contains either food substances never or rarely used in kitchens (such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and hydrolysed proteins), or classes of additives designed to make the final product palatable or more appealing (such as flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents). [2020] - David Raubenheimer

In general, I recommend diabetics avoid regular and liberal consumption of foods with a GL (Glycemic Load) above 15, at least until their diabetes is in better control and their weight has dropped significantly. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman
