Track and Field.  Not on most people’s list of sports to follow, except every four years during the Summer Olympics.

Well, after a decade of doping scandals, Track & Field’s popularity is on the rise. This Washington Post article explains why.

And as I leave Indiana University this morning, the NCAA Big Ten Track & Field Conference Championships begin.

Who's Watching Your Cholesterol?

Men and women, old and young, we all need to worry about cholesterol at some point.

It’s simply a fact of life.

After reading this article, I’m more informed that diet alone doesn’t lower cholesterol because some people will absorb 20% of the cholesterol they ingest and others, eating the same diet, will absorb 80%.
