So you don't really need 8 glasses of water a day! It's an idea that's been around for almost 200 years and surprisingly, no one revisited it seriously until recently.
Quoted: A recent editorial in the Journal of the American Society for Nephrology is getting wide press coverage for debunking the so-called "8x8" theory—the popularly held belief that drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily helps remove toxins, improve skin tone, and increase satiety, among other health benefits. The authors chalk up the belief to folklore.

This article raises some great points: 1.) if your kids find out what's really going into their food, they'll be angry and distrustful; 2.), in an age of chidlhood obesity and diabetes, we shouldn't encourage kids to eat sweet/fatty foods; 3.) it's just a good idea to help your kids develop a taste for different/healthy foods at an early age.
Quoted: Seinfeld's 'Deceptively Delicious' and Lapine's 'The Sneaky Chef' advocate tricking kids into eating fruits and veggies by pureeing them and oozing them into acknowledged goodies.

Quoted: U.S. physicians need to catch up with other industrialized nations -- such as Australia, Great Britain, the Netherlands and New Zealand -- in adopting electronic health records to enhance medical care and reduce costs.
If this country does not accelerate the conversion from paper to electronic health records, many health care reform promises will become irrelevant.
