Kevin Smith: Too Fat to Fly?

Submitted by Peter on March 2, 2010 - 2:59pm

I wish I could say that I was shocked to hear that actor, writer, comic-stud and funny man Kevin Smith was asked to leave a plane for being too fat but I wasn't.  In addition to all the health risks involved with being over weight... there's also the social challenges such as teasing, lower pay and dating dilemmas.  One thing Mr. Smith's espiodes shows is that being rich and famous doesn't relieve any of the issues that heavy people face.

Best wishes Mr. Smith.

Soda and Pancreatic Cancer

Submitted by Fresno Fitness on February 8, 2010 - 10:21am

 A recent study by the Karolinska Institue in Sweden of nearly 80,000 men and women from 1997 to 2005 showed that there might be link between soda drinkers and pancreatic cancer.  Out of the test group 131 contracted cancer.  The institute released a statement to report that drinking soda twice a day increases your chance of getting cancer by 90%;  70% for sugary foods and 50% for fruit juice drinkers.  Drinking fizzy, sugary sodas and colas produces too much insulin in many people and may cause cancer.
