Hi Davey, I’ve been working out regularly for the about two months now (an hour of cardio and about half an hour of strength training 5 days a week), and at first I lost weight. The goal I set for myself was to get down to 195lbs by the end of June. But recently I’ve noticed that I’ve hit a [...]

Yesterday, a package of those sugary, chewy “Swedish Fish” candies caught my eye.

Clearly, the allure of sweet but calorie-free eating is alive and well. But is it all too good to be true? In a surprising study, researchers from Purdue University tell us that artificial sweeteners may, in fact, [...]
