Flu season is around the corner, and while I’m not going to tell anyone over 65 to avoid getting a flu shot, I am going to share the dark truth about the jab that your doctor won’t tell you.   Here it is, in all its burnished glory: flu shots don’t do much good for…

FG Blog

I feel somewhat dubious when a particular food is declared a “superfood”. Whether it’s wheatgrass, blueberries, kale, chia seeds or goji berries, once a product has been labeled a superfood, it’s guaranteed that the time will come when someone vehemently denounces it.
