Heat is Good up to a point

It is good to get advice that takes a general idea such as the article that I am linking to about heat and then breaks it down for better understanding.  Yes working out in the heat can be very good for the muscles but only up to a point.  Essentially, humidity can be the cause of a heat issue.  Exercising when it is 90 and less than 30% humidity is better than 80 and over 60% humidity. In all cases, especailly those of high humidity, hydration is very important. So enjoy the heat but watch the water/humidity!

Artificial Sweetners a Mystery, better than sugar.

I found an article that concisely highlights the debate over artificail sweetners. Which ones are OK and which are risky to long term health.  The one conclusion is that while all of the research is inconclusive that the artificial swettners are deemed to be "safe" by the FDA and that all scientists agree that they are better than sugar when it comes to leading a healthy life.
