July 22nd, 2010 may be a day that sports fans remember forever thanks to baseball commissioner, Bud Selig’s decision to institute random human growth hormone testing in Minor League Baseball. This will be the first North American sport to conduct any kind of blood testing among its athletes. Thursday night on ESPN Radio, MLB Medical Director, Dr. Gary Green, said that the MLB Players Association would be open to implementing a similar system if the Minor League proves to have a problem. “The implementation of blood testing in the Minor League represents a significant step in the detection of the…

It is a fact that only one first-round draft pick has signed up to this point. Dez Bryant agreed to a 5-year $11.8 million contract. Good for him! Tony Romo needs a solid target outside of Miles Austin. No one could ever accuse Jerry Jones of being a follower! However, other teams are close to deals with draft picks and this will likely open the flood gates for contracts getting done. Of the three teams listed in this column–St. Louis, Buffalo, and Cleveland–only one is smart. Only one made a good move, and you’ll be surprised which one it is.…

Foods that claim to be healthier than their conventional counterparts are showing up everywhere, but are they really any better for you? In most cases, no. In some instances, they’re downright detrimental to your health. Those are the ones I want to focus on today, the junk masquerading as health food. I could have called this piece, “Things That Piss Me Off,” because there is so much misinformation out there regarding health and wellness. Let’s look at the top three offenders on my wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing list. These choices aren’t going to aid your weight loss or get you healthier, so beware!…

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig announced that players in the Minor Leagues will be subject to random testing for HGH effective immediately. This is seen as a step towards random testing for HGH in the Major Leagues, however it is a small step. Minor League contracts are not subject to the league Collective Bargaining Agreement. This means that the league can simply bring random testing into being. So, this policy becomes a part of the MLB Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Though this seems like a small step towards testing in the Majors it appears the league feels they are on…

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees is entering a four-game series facing the Kansas City Royals sitting on 598 career home runs. A-Rod is trying to become the 7th player in Major League Baseball history to join the “600 Homerun Club.” A-Rod will be joining some pretty impressive company–Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714), Willie Mays (660), Ken Griffey, Jr. (630), and Sammy Sosa (609). Before the 2009 season, A-Rod’s name was leaked off the much talked about secret performance enhancing drug testing list conducted by MLB in 2003. A-Rod admitted to using steroids in his time…

Sylvester Stallone has put together a “guy movie” for the ages featuring The Expendables, which is coming out August 13th.  The crew in the film includes some very large and very scary dudes. Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke–you get the idea.  These guys are not “spring chickens,” but many of us aren’t getting any younger either. What do these guys do to stay in shape for an action film–the genre that used to be reserved for much younger guys?  The workouts vary and the routines are interesting.  The diets are smart and the results amazing. However, these…

The National Hockey League rejected a landmark deal today that would have given Forward Ilya Kovalchuk a 17-year, $102 million contract with the New Jersey Devils. The NHL ruled that the longest deal in its history violated the league salary cap. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly was quoted on NHL.com saying: “The contract has been rejected by the League as a circumvention of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Under the CBA, the contract rejection triggers a number of possible next steps that may be elected by any or each of the NHLPA, the Player and/or the Club. In the interim, the player is…

Shakespeare said it best, “What’s in a name?” It’s important to state from the beginning that I decided to write this article as a regular consumer. I do not have an affiliation with any lab or company. I do have an innate sense of what is right and what is wrong, and I feel so frustrated when companies think the rest of us are so ignorant that can try to sell us a bill of goods and we will lap it up simply because they said so. What am I writing about? World Pharma of course. Read on and see…

Last week we talked about the wonderful health benefits of hemp seed in our seed series. Now, I realize that I’ve ranked flax as my third favorite in the group, and because of that you might think it doesn’t have a prominent place in my diet. You’d be wrong. Actually, flax is third because it’s a bit better known that either chia or hemp. However, there is still much to learn about this little seed. Settle in and come along for a ride through history, plus read about the newest research on flax’s fight against breast cancer! Just the Flax,…
