For gardeners -- and gardener's neighbors -- coping with the mid summer zucchini run, you may think you've got too much zucchini until you've tried this delicious no-noodle, low-carb optionally vegetarian lasagne. (Just skip the pepperoni if you'd prefer the vegetarian version.) We ate this low-carb lasagne as a side with baked chicken, actually we ate this first because it was done first.

The causes are unclear, but suspects include: Pthallates, compounds that make their…
Big bellies bulge when a person's diet is particularly bad. Belly flab is an important external sign of metabolic inflammation. According to new research, even thin people with a little bit of belly flab are looking at problems down the road. A study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that relatively normal weight people who add bulk in the bellies, as opposed to other places, are at nearly the same risk of dying from respiratory diseases (like asthma and pnumonia), cardiovascular diseases (like heart attack and stroke), and cancers as people who are morbidly obese.
