There's no doubt about it -- in 2007, our bloggers were working overtime to try to cover all the important health news that happened this year. It was a busy year in the world of health, that's for sure, my guess is that 2008 will be just as hectic.

Here's what made headlines this year:

• Food recalls. From cheese to water to spinach to pet food, it seemed like every day, there was a new item to avoid.
  
• Toys. Toys made using everything from lead paint to the date rape drug got many people talking -- and many parents worried about what was in the toy box at home.
  
• Obesity. Waistlines are expanding all over the world and this obesity crisis is being blamed for many diseases and conditions that are taxing the healthcare system.
  
• Celebs getting fit. Katie Holmes ran the NYC Marathon. Jennifer Garner toned up at the gym. While some celebs have gone off the deep-end into a world of drugs and drink, even more declared their passion for healthy living and did their part to encourage people to get moving.
  
• Exercise Guidelines. New fitness guidelines were released by experts, and no longer is a short walk a few times a week sufficient for a healthy lifestyle. Now you should be getting 30 minutes of moderate activity five times a week, and you should be lifting weights as well.
