Healthy advice from Dr. Katz
For those who don't know, Dr. David Katz is a medical correspondent for ABC news and in addition has shared his thoughts on healthy living in 9 books. So, chances are, he knows what he's talking about and after reading this, I would have to agree. His suggestions for living a healthy life make a lot of sense, and I think everyone would be doing themselves a favor by following them. Here's what he suggests:-Buy organic, locally-produced food when able
-Read the labels. This includes both the nutrition facts and the ingredients. If it has too many unpronounceable ingredients, it's best to skip it.
-Avoid Hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup
-The more fiber, the better
-Don't be fooled by lofty promises on the front of the package
What's your take on these suggestions?

I am in college (aka poor) and lactose intolerant. To get calcium
I eat green leafy veggies and a little soy milk and light yogurt. The problem is the yogurt as high fructose corn syrup. I would buy soy or greek but it is so expensive its difficult to purchase. What are the cheaper options for avoiding high fructose corn syrup with breaking the bank?
