'How did this myth begin?
Since the earlier part of the 20th century, doctors have been rallying around the idea that cholesterol causes heart disease. In 1913, Russian researcher Nikolaj Nikolajewitsch fed cholesterol to rabbits and made the conclusion that their cholesterol levels went up (with no acknowledgement whatsoever that cholesterol is not a normal part of a rabbit’s diet).

Your face not only gives you nonverbal signals about your well-being from unconscious facial expressions, but the state of your skin reveals a great deal about what's going on inside, both physically and emotionally. Some facial diagnosticians can even diagnose incipient illnesses, such as the early stages of cancer.'
'Happiness is what our nation is founded on – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But maybe we have it all wrong in pursuing happiness through fierce individualism and seeking out material things, which give us momentary pleasure and success.
I have found a repeatable path to guaranteed happiness, even joy. And as corny as it sounds, it is quite simple. Serve others with love and compassion. That’s it. Guaranteed happiness is just a few minutes away.'
