You have to look at the difference in polls between "registered voters" and "likely voters." Polls of registered voters usually give an advantage to democrats (vs reality) because democrats are statistically more likely to register and then not vote. I disregard any and all polls of...

What's not addressed here is how many hours did they work? They obviously weren't full-time. We have a housekeeper that we pay $20 an hour. She comes in one day every other week and cleans the entire house from top to bottom. Last year we paid her about $5,000 (including overtime and...

The question isn't which news organizations are more biased or less biased. The real question is: Why are they ALL biased? It's tragic that there's no objective or unbiased reporting to be found anywhere. Choosing between CNN and FoxNews isn't much of a choice... Would you prefer arsnic...

Malta rejects latest EU FTT proposal http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120409/local/Proposed-EU-levy-would-punish-us-ministry-says.414678 The Finance Ministry has dismissed claims by the European Commission that Malta's contribution to the EU budget would be cut by 27 million if...

The Volt is a fun toy, but the economics for GM don't look good over the long run. Ford is making great cars again. Looks like the new 2013 Fusion re-design is going to be a huge success for them.

We have a Volt. My wife drives it. We have a very reasonable 3-year lease. GM eats a chunk of the depreciation and gets the tax credits (since they're technically the buyer as the provider of the financing). We've had it for almost a year and have only put gas in it twice. The lease is...

Most of the Obamacare "savings" come from cuts in medicare payments to doctors. These cuts will never happen. Medicare patients are already a losing proposition for most doctors. Our family physician says he loses money on every medicare patient. He told me that if they cut his medicare...

I'm very disappointed in Borg. Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands will be watching Sweden closely on this issue. I was hoping Borg would show some real leadership. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

You're doing the right things. Stay with it. I can tell you from personal experience that if you eat right you will get the results you want. In addition to watching your cholesterol, also keep an eye on your triglycerides. My cardiologist says they're often more predictive of heart disease...

Everywhere you find high levels of consumption of sugar and processed foods you will also find epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. ....................... Is sugar toxic? http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57407128/is-sugar-toxic/ Dr. Robert Lustig, a...

Canned fruits and vegetables are, as you describe, "processed foods" and therefore no better than junk food. I agree with you that fresh is the very best and frozen is an acceptable alternative.

Changing the way I eat was not easy for me. Previously, I ate a lot of "prepared" and "processed" foods. Now I rarely eat anything that comes in a can, bottle, bag etc. I rarely eat grains or milk products. This is not a "diet." Diets don't work. This is a permanent lifestyle change for me...

The example I want to follow is Al Gore. He flies around in his private Gulfstream jet that burns 400 gallons of fuel per hour -- and then tells the rest of us that we need to change our lifestyles to consume less fuel!

What does that mean?

I changed my diet under the guidance of a dietician who was referred to me by my cardiologist. She's the one who recommended the diet, and modified it along the way until it was fine-tuned for me. The fact that my cholesterol fell by over 50%, my triglycerides fell by 80% along with...

I never said that anything is better or worse for you. I said that's what I eat.

I was not using the word "study" literally, but rather to explain my personal experience -- the changes in my blood chemistry I achieved by eliminating sugars and processed foods .

I'm not talking about eating a diet that exclusively high fat like the examples you're referring to. I'm talking about a balanced diet that includes meat, fresh vegetables and fruits and also nuts and seeds -- but eliminates all sugars and processed foods. In addition to meat, I eat a lot of...

I don't eat bacon. It's a processed food. Nor do I eat fried eggs, though I will eat poached eggs to keep the "processing" to a minimum. I don't eat any kind of fried foods because frying is a form of destructive food processing. I've done my own study of sugars relative to saturated fats...

I've never seen a statistical study of saturated fats that controlled for intake of processed foods/sugars. In my own case, I cut out all processed/refined foods (sugars). My cholesterol fell from 295 to under 150 and my triglycerides fell from 400 to 80. I eat meat, but I also eat a lot...
