Just when you started to get a handle on the glycemic index (GI) of foods, there's another value to grasp — glycemic load (GL). The GI ranks specific carbohydrates from zero to 100, based on the rate in which they affect your blood sugar levels. A GI of 1 to 55 is low, 56 to 69 is medium, and 70 to 100 is high — these high-ranking foods should be limited.

Jelly Belly knows how to make a damn good bean. It never ceases to amaze me the things they come up with. Last year my nephews got Harry Potter themed jelly beans from Jelly Belly and the flavors like vomit, boogers and grass nearly killed me.

I know Jennifer Aniston loves her Smartwater, and I do too. That's because it's enhanced with electrolytes, a scientific term for salts. If you look on the bottle, you'll see ingredients such as sodium chloride, potassium, and magnesium, which are basically mineral salts.

Treatment
Psoriasis that develops on the hands or feet is often very difficult to treat. However, an advanced clinical trial showed that a medication called efalizumab (Raptiva) effectively cleared or nearly cleared moderate-to-severe symptoms in adults after 12 weeks.
Several studies have shown that most people with severe psoriasis who are treated with infliximab (Remicade) have significant improvement in symptoms by week 10.

Black Cohosh Doesn’t Help Hot Flashes
- The herbal remedy black cohosh is no better than placebo for treating hot flashes and night sweats, according to a 2006 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
- Most complementary and alternative medicines are ineffective for relieving menopausal symptoms, according to a 2006 review in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
- Short-term use of HRT remains an option for recently menopausal women who have a low risk for stroke, according to a 2007 statement from the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). However, NAMS recommends that women who are at risk for heart disease or breast cancer should consider other approaches for managing hot flashes.
- For women who want to discontinue HRT, gradually tapering off the medication or stopping it abruptly appears to make little difference in the recurrence of symptoms, suggests a 2006 study. A gradual approach may delay the reappearance of symptoms, but does not prevent them from returning.
HRT and Heart Disease: Timing Counts
Women who begin HRT within 10 years of menopause have a much lower risk for heart disease and heart attack than women who start HRT later on, indicates a 2007 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
