The Center for Science in the Public Interest says that data shows teenagers are actually drinking more high-calorie soft drinks than ever - despite growing concerns about obesity. The CSPI petitioned the FDA to require a series of rotating health notices on sodas -- such as "This drink contains x grams of caffeine, which is a mildly addictive stimulant drug. Not appropriate for children." Besides health messages on labels, CSPI recommends requiring calorie labeling of beverages on chain restaurant menus and menu boards, and stopping soda sales in schools.

The initial reaction amongst many commentators was that this was disappointing news. But on closer analysis there appear to be very significant and positive details within the verdict. The most important is that with the ruling from the European Court the wide-reaching bans that were anticipated on August 1, will now not occur.

WELLNESS INVENTORY INCREASES MOTIVATION IN YOUR EMPLOYEE WELLNESS PROGRAM

From Fatigued to Fantastic
The prevalence of undiagnosed thyroid disease in the United States is shockingly high - particularly since it is a condition that is easy to diagnose and treat. Doctors do not know that they have not been adequately trained in the proper diagnosis or treatment of hypothyroidism, and the cost in human life and devastating illness is enormous. In "Hypothyroidism: The Tragic and Invisible Epidemic of Thyroid Disease" Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. reports that even the major laboratories continue to give erroneous normal ranges for the tests, simply because they're not aware of the guidelines of the American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists or the information put out by their National Association of Clinical Biochemistry.

Healthy Bookstore - Tired of Being Tired

Loss of energy, weight gain, and decreases in health and vitality are not inevitable facts of life. They are the results of the drive that pushes us to achieve-whether it is in our roles at work, as parents, siblings, spouses, or friends. This results in Adrenal Burnout. The consequences of Adrenal Burnout include everything from fatigue to uncontrollable weight gain; from irritability to severe depression; from constant colds to life-threatening illnesses. In "Tired of Being Tired: Rescue, Repair, Rejuvenate" Jesse Hanley, M.D. and Nancy Deville offer recommendations to make it easy to rejuvenate a tired system. Unique herbal and supplement formulas help the reader get back on track, and an easy fourteen-day meal plan helps the body gain back the years it's lost due to hard work and striving.

Dr. Haas covers beef, pork and lamb, and offers ten principles for using meat in the diet.

Spiritual Wellness
Our faith gets challenged when something we hold to be true doesn't match our experience. Such moments are inevitable on the spiritual path, because growth brings with it new insights and experiences that challenge our certainties. The challenge is to face it head-on. In "Put Your Faith in Doubt" Philip Goldberg states that faith and doubt are not polar opposites like darkness and light. They are more like dance partners, a dynamic duo whose mutual push and pull keeps you whirling to the music of your soul.
