...what can we do about it? A good place to start is to cut back on sugary sodas and fruit drinks. A separate study reported that women who drank less than one sweetened beverage a month not only were thinner but also had a 40% smaller risk of developing diabetes than women who had at least one sugary drink every...
...messenger was at least superficially different. Whereas he had earlier looked gaunt and tired, he seemed healthy and well groomed, if a bit thinner. He used both hands despite earlier reports that one of his arms had been injured in Afghanistan. Gone were the fatigues and the AK47.

Who doesn't, really? But those can often be worked out. It may take three weeks or three months or a year to know whether a relationship will last. More won't than will...
