...since chewing gum, even incessantly, requires less effort than exercising, it's not hard to see why this news would be welcome to some dieters. On the other hand, it's important to remember that 11 calories an hour is not really all that impressive when compared to other low-impact calorie-burning activities. For example, a 140-pound woman burns 111 calories walking at a moderate pace for 30 minutes. That sort of exertion, on a regular basis, could result in a hefty weight loss - and would produce significantly less strain on relationships than a round-the-clock regimen...

Earl's trophy wife (Moore), who married him for his money, has decided she actually loves the old guy and is in a guilty frenzy to prove...
...bargain for and carry an interest charge that amounts to 500% on an annualized basis. "This is no different than taking a cash advance on your credit card," says Jean A. Fox of the Consumer Federation of America. "It's just more expensive." Anyone in a cash crunch would do better to seek a credit counselor, take out a long-term loan or make arrangements with a creditor to stretch out payments...
