Seed Oils 101
If there is one piece of nutrition misinformation I would love to never hear again, it would be about seed oils. Seed oils (especially canola oil) are given an awful reputation, often touted as “toxic”, “inflammatory” and “hormone imbalancing” by those in the holistic and naturopathic fields. And nine times out of ten, there isn’t any sort of reference given to back it up – just a simple, “Google it, you’ll see!”.

Inside the ear is often itchy, but nothing can pull out.
When the ear itches, many people are used to pulling it out with their fingers or tools such as cotton swabs or ear digging spoons, and the whole person will become soothed. However, what you don't know is that this seemingly "enjoyable" small action may cause more harm than you can imagine to the ear canal.

"Sweatpants Are All That Fit Me Right Now"
On the cusp of 30, stepping onto the scale after coming home from a three-month stint in New York City, I realize with a mixture of shock and horror: I’ve never weighed this much before. Even my loosest pajama pants, that I had retired to a drawer for years because they didn’t stay up around my hips, now fit snugly around my belly.

The Fat Cell 3: The Lipid Droplet
The Fat Cell 3: The Lipid Droplet Even the words sound fat. ‘Lipid droplet,’ rich and round p’s and d’s, surrounded by the structure of the l’s and locked with the tight sound of t. The lipid droplet is the largest organelle within the fat cell, causing the fat cell (and when massed in the tissues, the human body) to expand or deflate based on the quantity of TAGS (triacylglycerols or triglycerides) and sterol esters. TAGs are how energy is stored. Quite simply, TAGs are fat (a backbone of glycerol and three arms of fatty acids) and fat is the best way to store energy. It is easily oxidized and broken up, it is energy dense, and it does not need water to function. In fact, fat, also known as oil at a different temperature, does not mix with water at all.
