Eating These Probiotics Can Lower Unhealthy Cholesterol
High cholesterol is a common problem in our society.

12 Ways to Use Blackstrap Molasses Daily
We spend a lot of time bashing sugar here at The Alternative Daily. Along with trans fats and factory-farmed meat, it’s basically enemy number one. But did you know that there is a product made from sugar cane that is considered a superfood? It’s called blackstrap molasses, and it’s essentially the antithesis of refined white sugar.

The Hidden Costs of Bariatric Surgery
Weight regain after bariatric surgery can have devastating psychological effects. How Sustainable Is the Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery? I explore that issue in my video of the same name. Most gastric bypass patients end up regaining some of the fat they lose by the third year after surgery, but after seven years, 75% of patients followed at 10 U.S. hospitals maintained at least a 20% weight loss. The typical trajectory for someone who starts out obese at 285 pounds,


Bariatric Weight-Loss Surgery and Mortality
Today, death rates after weight-loss surgery are considered to be “very low,” occurring in perhaps 1 in 300 to 1 in 500 patients on average. The treatment of obesity has long been stained by the snake-oil swindling of profiteers, hustlers, and quacks. Even the modern field of bariatric medicine (derived from the Greek word baros , meaning “weight”) is pervaded by an “insidious image of sleaze.” Beguiled by advertising for fairy tale magic bullets of rapid, effortless weight


Bariatric Surgery: Risks in the OR and Beyond
