Prevention Not Prescriptions: Tuesday, December 15

Welcome back to Prevention Not Prescriptions Tuesday. This is a weekly forum where we’re coming together to inform and inspire each other to better health.

It's straight forward and simple. Tuesdays will be our chance to take our health into our own hands and say “hell no” to the pharmaceutical industry’s endless search for profits. Sound like something you want to be involved with?  Here are the details on how to participate each week.

Once again, a big thank you to all of the contributors below who got involved this week—the last post until after the New Year. When we come back in 2010 we'll be blasting out of 'BETA' with a brand spanking new design and even more great health and wellness info. (Stay tuned for more on what’s in store for Prevention Not Prescriptions in 2010.) 

Until then, enjoy the latest edition of Prevention Not Prescriptions which will have you thinking twice about what you’re putting on your face, and learning a thing or two about cholesterol (turns out it may not be as bad you thought). Enjoy!

And this isn’t your typical Prevention Not Prescriptions post, but this week we’re kicking things off with this disturbing video report.  It serves as a critical reminder that we have to be thinking about the food we’re eating…
