• Sleep-deprived teens may eat more fatty foods [msnbc]

• Nourishment on Budget [the money times]

• Omega-3 Fats May Not Reduce Heart-Attack Risk as Much as Previously Thought [time]

   

   

• Most C-sections done before labor, study shows [nytimes]

   

  Thoughts about the news:

  1. Do you eat unhealthy foods when you are sleep-deprived?  I do!  What do you do to prevent unhealthy eating when you are tired and can't nap?  

   

  2.  The Omega-3 story really upsets me.  The story is about MARGARINE!  PROCESSED MARGARINE, not natural supplementation of Omegas like in flax seed oil!

   

  3.  What do you think about the C-Section rate in this country?  Did you have one or did your spouse?  Again, I believe in the least amount of intervention necessary, but I understand this is a very personal choice.  It is inspiring me to post my son's birth story about how I birthed my son with minimal interventions and minimal pain.
