No carbs are best for a healthy prostate
However, it should be noted that high-fat diets have been said to lead to prostate cancer, even though these findings show that it might help speed up treatment. So, in the meantime, I think moderation is key -- don't cut out healthy carbs like whole grains, and don't load up on unhealthy fats either.
Living with kids increases the fat in your diet

A new study shows that having children in your home could be hurting your diet, if you're not careful. I think everyone would agree that most "kid friendly" kitchens are stocked with things like hot dogs, mac and cheese, and Oreo cookies. Having these things around makes it easier for the adults in the house to eat them also, not to mention families with young children make more visits to fast food restaurants. One researcher was quoted as saying "Adults pick up foods the kids want, so the kids end up driving the nutrition habits of the household instead of parents." According to the study adults living with children eat an average of 5 more grams of fat per day than someone who doesn't have kids around. That's equal to an extra personal-size pizza each week!

Oh, it was late at night. I was watching television because I couldn't sleep. This chubby guy in a chef's hat comes on the screen - late night infomercial. He is using this magical device called a "Jet Stream Oven." A counter-top oven that will virtually replace your conventional oven.
Oh brother.
To make a long story short - I bought it. Was it just another TV shopping piece of junk? Hardly. I still use one to this day - 13 years later. Can't do without it.
