The holidays are over...it's RESOLUTION TIME!  There are lots of truths about losing weight.  The main one, the one that is hardest for most of us to digest (pardon the pun!), is that diets don't work for the kind of long-term weight management and good health that most of us seek.  The only way to change your weight, for good, is to make permanent lifestyle changes.  This can be overwhelming.  But, there are lots of small changes that can make a big difference...and what better time to make them than New Year's? 
Come to Dave's Healthy Living Lecture on Thursday, January 15, New Year, New You! for some great ideas on how to keep your resolutions and the supplements that can help you stick to it!  One of these is PGX Daily...stop in Mother Earth for a free sample and $5 off coupon and register to win a FREE trip to Hawaii for two...no purchase necessary!   For some additional weight loss tips, click here.
Not Even ONE Percent of Researchers Disclose Possible Financial Conflicts to FDA
Click here to read a disturbing report detailing the loopholes in financial reporting by scientists to the FDA submitted by the office of the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, an internal watchdog group.  Clinical investigators with financial ties to drug companies could result in a potential bias in clinical trial results.  
One of the Most Comprehensive Resources on Vitamin D...EVERYONE READ THIS
 
 You are probably deficient in Vitamin D.  In the United States, 85% of us are.  What you may not know is how much your lack of the "sunshine vitamin" may be contributing to health conditions like CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DEPRESSION, and OBESITY, to name just a few. 
Ideally, your Vitamin D should come from sensible sun exposure.  However, since this isn't always possible, supplementing with D3 may be for you.  It is available in capsules and liquid dosing forms. 
For one of the most comprehensive resources on Vitamin D, including an hour-long video by Dr. Mercola, click here.  Or to talk with Dave, live, call Ask the Experts on Wednesday morning, when he will discuss his views on preventing and controlling disease with Vitamin D. 
Will Obama Change the Food Industry? 
 
Agribusiness is one of the most powerful lobbies in the country.  The nomination of former Iowa governor Tom Vilsak by President-Elect Obama may not bode well for the future of food in our country.   Below is an excerpt from an interview with anti-agribusiness crusader Michael Pollan.
"Food is the shadow issue over all [those] other issues. You're only going to get so far with healthcare costs unless you look at the diet.
Let's look at the school lunch program. This is where we're feeding a big part of our population. We are essentially feeding them fast food and teaching them how to eat it quickly. If we could spend a dollar or more per day per child and work on the nutritional quality of that food - and require that a certain percentage of that school lunch fund in every school district has to be spent within 100 miles to revive local agriculture, to create more jobs on farms, to rural redevelopment - you will achieve a great many goals through doing that.
You will have a healthier population of kids who will perform better in the afternoon after that lunch. You will have the shot in the arm to local economies through helping local agriculture. And you will teach this generation habits that will last a lifetime about eating."
