National Geographic's Taboo: Fat

In much of the West thin is beautiful, and fat is taboo. But a new health epidemic is sweeping the planet: obesity. We follow the story of Alan, who at 650 pounds is imprisoned in his own bedroom. In Mauritania mothers risk the health of their daughters by force-feeding them to fatten them for marriage. In the U.S.A., Deidra, a 450 pound model is fat, proud and happy. And 24 "plus size" women push the ideals of beauty when they compete in the Miss Plus America Pageant.

Drinking milk may help you get rid of unwanted weight?

Hey everyone, since this is my first post I thought share something interesting like... eating more calcium results in losing more fat via the stool?

I've been trying hard to stay clear of dairy products all this while until I saw this on WebMD..

It's not like I'm gonna have a diary buffet after reading this, but it's comforting to know that I don't have to feel super guilty after having that large mug of latte! Plus, it's great that they get a second opinion on the topic so people reading it can have a balanced view. Like most things in life, everything is good in moderation :) Find out what happens to milk when it enters and goes of your body, read the article.
