In citrus fruits, most of the anti-cancer compounds are present in the membranes and pulp, which are removed in processing juice. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Adding 3-5 g of creatine a day and 2-3 days of resistance training a week led to an additional 3 pounds of lean mass over an average duration of about 4 months. Some of this lean mass may be water weight, but creatine combined with resistance exercise increases muscle strength as well. The standard dose to achieve muscle saturation is 3 g a day. For older adults, it takes at least 12 weeks of creatine-supplement resistance training to see a significant additive effect. One third-party supplement testing outfit that checked for impurities chose as its top pick the BulkSupplements brand, which also happened to be the cheapest at about 10 cents per daily 3-g serving, which is about a level teaspoonful. [2023] - Michael Greger

The amalgam used in silver-colored dental fillings contains approximately 49% metallic mercury, 35% silver, 9% tin, 6% copper, and trace amounts of zinc. Plastic fillings, also known as white fillings, often contain BPA and aluminum. The best option for a filling or a restoration is ceramic and ceramic-resin hybrids. They differ from porcelain fillings, and they are made with special low-temperature fusing. These ceramic options are generally biocompatible and are strong enough for long-term use. Another option for cavity infections that are very deep is the application of a composite resin, which avoids the drilling and filling process. [2013] - Nadine Artemis

Horizons Canada offers three swap‐based ETFs on the Canadian market. Its Horizons S&P/TSX 60 index ETF costs just 0.03 percent. It tracks Canada's 60 biggest stocks. Horizons S&P 500 index ETF tracks the US market. It costs 0.12 percent. And Horizons' Canadian Select Bond Universe ETF costs 0.17 percent. Most indexes physically hold stocks or bonds within them, but not these. Instead, they're like contracts backed by the National Bank of Canada, promising investors the full return of a given index as if all dividends or interest were reinvested. Because investors don't actually own the index's holdings directly, they aren't charged dividend taxes on the stock indexes or income taxes on the bond index. [2018] - Andrew Hallam

Ask your tenant to provide a work place reference. Don't just call the contact number that was provided as this can be a number to their friend's cell phone who can pretend to be the tenant's employer. Call the company's office number and ask to speak to the person noted as the tenant's employer. At this time, you can also verify the tenant's income and employment status so you know whether the tenant is a qualified tenant. [2015] - Gary Wong
