If you're fighting cancer, or if you know anybody who is fighting it, the information I'm going to give you now is critical. It's critical for two reasons. One, as you will see, it will not only extend your life, but it will also improve the quality of your life. And two, the information has been out for over 17 years and you will still not hear it from any oncologist (including the ones at the supposed great cancer centers). The study was published in the European Journal of Cancer way back in 1999.

Many people are secretly hoping for a breakthrough discovery of a pill they can take that will replace the need to exercise and eat a healthy diet. While that isn't likely to happen, there are some supplements that can provide some — but not all — of the benefits of exercise and the right type of diet. A few months ago, I told you about how vitamin C can have some of the same beneficial effects on your body as exercise — though this isn't an excuse to skip the gym. But what about diet?

If I asked you to list all the hormones that you can think of, I bet some of the first to come to mind would be estrogen and testosterone. You might be able to list a few more. But I bet very few of you, if any, would name adropin. This peptide hormone isn't very well-known. In fact, it was discovered only a few years ago by a professor at Saint Louis University. But that doesn't mean it isn't important. In fact, it may play a key role in lipid metabolism and metabolic diseases.
