Lying is the oil that greases our interactions with others and lets us maintain friendly social relationships. Social liars are more popular than those who continually tell the truth, even though we know the social liar is lying to us. Malicious Lies, however, are where one person deliberately sets out to deceive another for personal benefit. [2004] - Allan Pease

FOOD PAIRING: By adding eggs to salad, we can increase our absorption of nutrients from the egg and the salad greens, compared with eating these foods individually. When bananas are eaten alongside whole milk, custard, or yogurt, this combination increases the body’s uptake of calcium from the dairy. Steaming can reduce the oxalates in spinach and preserve the water-soluble minerals that would be lost in boiling water. To increase the absorption of fat-soluble minerals from spinach or other green vegetables, consider adding a small serving of butter to these foods. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

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
