What vitamin helps keep bones healthy, helps ease depression, and may prevent heart attacks, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Type 1 diabetes? You guessed it: vitamin D.

Over the past several weeks, we’ve taken a closer look at various nutritive, or caloric, sweeteners, including high-fructose corn syrup. Thank you all for your comments, questions, and suggestions. The use of sweeteners is obviously an important, and often emotionally charged, topic.

People think self-management means giving up things you like. That is so wrong. Self-management really means doing things that you like, but that society doesn’t want you to do. A self-managed life should be more fun and feel better than an unhealthy life (although it can involve more pin pricks and needle sticks).
