Even though brown rice is a whole grain, I no longer recommend its consumption because of significant arsenic contamination of most of the brown rice available for purchase in the United States--even organic brown rice and wild rice. Arsenic is a causative factor in many cancers, and it also promotes heart disease. Recommended intact whole grains include wheat berries, steel cut oats, quinoa, buckwheat, barley, millet, teff, and amaranth. [2020] - Joel Fuhrman

When you receive your lender's renewal offer, whatever you do, don't sign it! Lenders almost never put their best rate on the renewal. Sometimes you'll get a lower mortgage rate simply by phoning your lender and asking for one. A lower mortgage rate could mean saving thousands of dollars in interest over the life or your mortgage. Your mortgage renewal is too important to leave until the last minute. Start shopping early--four to six months ahead of when your mortgage term ends. This gives you plenty of time to see what else is out there. [2017] - Sean Cooper

Even a relatively low amount of animal protein in the diet could raise a hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Because IGF-1 signaling plays a key role in tumor growth, reducing IGF-1 levels by dietary methods is now considered by most scientists studying this subject to be effective cancer-prevention measure. When we strive to consume most of our protein from plants, we solve the IGF-1 issue and help prevent both cancer and diabetes. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman
