But not for the whole issue. Just the box on page 1. But that box contains some very important information. It was even written by an oncologist. Read it. But don’t weep. Just get busy. It’s a key to cancer prevention. Speaking of which, boys and girls, October 7 is National Walk/Bike to School Day. Also in this issue, some …
Can you be fat AND suffer from malnutrition?
If you’ve ever heard the term empty calories, you know the answer is yes. We take a look at this issue in pre-observance of Malnutrition Awareness Week (Sept. 28 – Oct. 2). Granted, it’s not something you think about every day, but if you do, you may realize you know someone who is malnourished: a friend, neighbor or relative who …

3 BOYS DIE
I hope you’ll read at least this issue’s cover story. It contains a message we all need to read.

In the rest of the paper you’ll find our usual smoove blend of information and entertainment, a.k.a. infotainment. Or do you prefer entermation? Either way, the sum total of it all is to help every reader live a healthier life. And so, …

Good boy, good boy!
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
We turn our 100,000 candlepower spotlights on two cover stories this issue: preventing strokes (always important this time of year in Augusta) and speeding. Let’s take a moment here for just one of those: speeding, and why it’s ineffective and illogical. Driving at 60 mph, you’re covering a mile a minute, right? If you spend that entire hour at 65 …
