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.

You've probably heard of a "cheat day" when it comes to dieting. Some think it's a good idea; others worry that you can do too much damage in just one day to make it wise. But what if I told you that you could not only have a "cheat day," you also could have multiple days a week when you eat what you like and still lose weight? And what if this could even help you experience cardiovascular benefits? Interested?

Several weeks ago, I told you about the DARK act (Deny Americans the Right to Know). As you may know, the DARK act was a piece of legislation that Monsanto and other companies vested in the production of GMO foods promoted. If passed it would have prevented you from being able to know whether or not a food you were eating was GMO contaminated or not.
