Quotes of the Day

Those who avoided red meat but ate white meat regularly had a more than 300 percent increase over those who ate no white meat in colon cancer incidence. Eating beans, peas, or lentils at least twice a week was associated with a 50 percent lower risk than never eating these foods. Chicken has about the same amount of cholesterol as beef, and the production of those potent cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) is even more concentrated in grilled chicken than in beef. Beans in general, not just soy, have additional anti-cancer benefits against reproductive cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Your saliva contains DNA, and you can send it away to test for risk markers of cancers, Parkinson’s disease, late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, celiac disease, and rare disorders (hereditary thrombophilia, hereditary hemochromatosis, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, Gaucher’s disease type 1, Factor XI deficiency, early-onset primary dystonia, and alpha-1-antitrysin deficiency). While only 5–10% of cancers are hereditary in nature, they can be identified through genetic testing. These are breast (female and male), colorectal, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, stomach, and uterine. The risk for some heart conditions can also be detected through DNA tests. Familial hypercholesterolemia, arteriopathies, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies are all detectable. [2019] - William W Li

Price and momentum do not always trend together. Momentum indicators represent momentum trends, not price trends. [2009] - Robert C. Miner

In any selling environment, there are two basic philosophies, or approaches. The first involves low volume and high profit-margin. The second is the opposite--high volume, low profit-margin. Sellers on eBay have to have better prices than what's out there. To create a successful business with a low profit-margin, it is necessary to sell more product than if you were able to charge retail price. Historically, on eBay, this high-volume-low-margin philosophy tends to be the more successful. If you can purchase your product for below the average eBay selling price, you have margin and you're in business. If not, try to find something else. I recommend a product that will yield a profit margin, is available in large enough quantity, and is "UPS-able". [2005] - Adam Ginsberg

A healthy mouth feels clean and comfortable, it has no plaque, no calculus buildup, no recession, and no sign of cavities, bleeding gums, or periodontal problems. A healthy mouth does not need a cleaning, which could potentially scratch or thin the enamel; more importantly, a cleaning may remove the thin layer of healthy protective proteins and the good bacteria that are the foundation of a healthy mouth ecosystem. Your mouth certainly should be professionally evaluated at regular intervals by your dentist, and at these appointments, I encourage patients to inquire if their mouth needs a “cleaning”. If your mouth is unhealthy, a cleaning will remove diseased plaque from around your teeth and gums for a time, and this will temporarily help to limit the amount of damage and inflammation in your gums.  [2018] - Ellie Phillips
