Swayed by the site of yogurt raisins and the word 'probiotic,' I grabbed a bag of probiotic trail mix on my way to the Walgreen's checkout yesterday. I know that fortified versions of high-sugar or fat foods like chocolate, trail mix, snack bars are a silly, nutritiously ineffective way to get...
Oprah opened up about a breast cancer scare at a conference in Los Angeles last month, and she also told the New York Times about her struggles at the helm of OWN and O Magazine. The Daily Mail's summary is dramatized, as can be expected, but it also couches a pretty offensive dig at women who...
Christina Aguilera wore two outfits that revealed her body shape at the American Music Awards last night. But what does it all mean? A chance to go on a Christina Aguilera weight snark at*The Daily Mail, of course! Their interpretation of her "unapologetic" wardrobe is that it was an act of...

Crusading against the idea that all women over 30 are old hags has been something of a hobby horse of mine lately. It's a fight that's generally met with 'Amen's' from Gen X and Y women and skepticism by similarly-aged men (note to guys: just because you personally don't subscribe do the idea...
Lately, everywhere I go seems to be plastered in advertising for 'The Mindy Project'. Mindy Kaling rocks, so I'm pretty happy about this on the whole. But when one of the ads popped up in the middle of my Mindy-covered New York magazine, I was gobsmacked: Why was her skin a completely different...
A Rhode Island Hospital researcher has found that the majority of bariatric surgery patients being treated for obesity have clinically significant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but report fewer symptoms than other sleep disorders patients. The study by Katherine M. Sharkey, M.D., Ph.D., of the...
I want to update my Acekard for my dstti, except I'm afraid that it will fail and my card won't work afterwards! I clicked to update, but it said that there's a small chance that my card will not work if it fails! Is there a way to avoid my card being ruined???
Well, you had to figure Adrian Gonzalez being scratched (illness) from the Boston Red Sox lineup at the last minute on Friday night could create a hole for them defensively. And of course, it most certainly did, but not in a way you would expect.
Gonzalez's replacement for the night, Mauro...
Slow news day? Why not pick over celebrity photo galleries for photos that reveal their knee wrinkles, blow 'em up, crop them, and talk about how ugly they are? Title it "Wrinkly, knobbly, saggy - meet the celebs going weak at the knees!" and you have a Daily Mail article that, while not 100%...

Attention, child-free career women: the Daily Mail would like you to know that you are ruining everything for the men of the world. I mean, just look at this math! Do you know how many men's lives you're ruining by depriving them of parenthood? More »Post from: Blisstree

Today in Daily Mail news ... Nutritionists are putting your health at risk! They "ignore alarming symptoms" and rely on non-medically-sanctioned tests. In other words: Nutritionists are not doctors. If you want to eat better, lose weight or figure out food intolerances, a nutrition therapist...
The McCormick company sells dried spices that can make your food taste a little better. Which should be enough to sell their product, but it apparently is not--because, in their current series of commercials, they're also pushing vague, possibly meaningless health benefits. Their buzzword of...
The Daily Mail reported today that Marilyn Monroe was voted top beach body of all time. Which in itself, is somewhat offensive—we're talking about real women here, not a pie-baking contest—but their spin took it to an unnecessarily body-negative level: Instead of praising Marilyn for her...
