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.

With all the publicity that surrounded this tragic event (it can’t really be called an accident), one would …

If you aren’t getting enough sleep, nothing else matters. And insufficient sleep affects millions. The average American sleeps a full two hours less …
