If It Hurts When You Do That, Don't Do It

Sometimes people confuse me.

Here is my Quora Answer to the Question, "My hands feel like the veins are full of blood like when after I swing my arm around really fast. What is this symptom called and what does it mean?"

First of all, this is physics, not medicine. Secondly, why couldn't this person figure it out themself? Last, unless you are a Shen Yun or Blue Man Group performer, what adult swings their arms around like that?

The Good. The Bad. And The Ugly

When I ran a Family Practice clinic I used to go on the road with PowerPoint presentations that covered diets/nutrition, health, exercise, and supplements. In the Diet section I had a part called "Fats: The Good; The Bad; and The Ugly" which stressed avoiding The Bad, limiting intake of The Ugly, and indulging in The Good. In today's blog I am going to focus on The Ugly by coming in through the back door.

This article by "The Healing Miracle" praises the virtues of coconut oil, definitely a Good Fat. But it also lists four of the Ugly ones. This list is not exhaustive since it doesn't include trans fats, for example. Here is their list but please head over to the article because they explain why these are Ugly:

1. Canola/Rapeseed oil

2. Cottonseed oil

3. Safflower oil

4. Soybean oil
