I hope in previous posts I have made it abundantly clear that smoking cigarettes and looking for low life insurance rates is an oxymoronic walk in which you can’t get there from here. I have also gone on a bit about the reasons that life insurance underwriters...

Obesity, which often leads to heart disease, the number one killer of women, has now been linked to the number two cancer in women, breast cancer. Let’s be frank about this. I am constantly reading studies and articles and I have yet to find anything that would...

I have mentioned before that if we all knew the date and time and perhaps the reason for our death, well ahead of time, it might change the need for life insurance dramatically. With time to plan it is possible to put money somewhere other than life insurance and...

To some oncologists it appears to be a case of “the cure is worse than the disease”. There may be a link to one type of chemotherapy and the increased risk of heart disease in women who have already won one battle. Drugs call anthracyclines are a breast...

In writing an article on gestational diabetes for our new website that will go live this coming week, I was discussing risk factors and up pops obesity……again. It seems that almost without fail, no matter what the health issue, obesity either helps cause...
