I don't make any health claims; however, un-processed salts, such as Celtic Sea Salt contain much more than just sodium. They contain many other minerals. In other words, Celtic Sea Salt is more than just NaCl.

Actually, he was saying blatant lies are not going to be removed from Facebook. His reason, that you can't tell "intent" is rather bizarre, in my opinion. Instead of removing blatantly false posts, their plan is to exercise c

I regularly see comments like this about Facebook's ad program. Personally, it strikes me that there was no tracking of ROI in the first place -- and if you can't reliably track ROI, why were you spending $1500? If you're spe

Your comment makes me think of an interesting idea. One of the problems with Siri/Google/Alexa is they try to be everything and do everything at once. What if they split the expertise/domains they're capable of into diff

I don't know what you've tried, in terms of home preparation of food. One strategy is to switch to two meals a day, plus one snack. Another is to focus on high-volume, low calorie density foods, such as vegetables and beans, while

Nuts, cheese, boiled eggs, and fruit are all widely available, pre-made, snacks. It should be noted that The Longevity Diet, promoted by Valter Longo, recommends nuts as the "go-to" snack. Super easy, and healthy too.
