Dear Chuck: I am angry. I am supposed to eat better but there is so much junk food and fast food commercials I can't get away from it. I'm not that strong so all of the things I see make it hard to stay on my diet. What should I do? Karl | Full Story

Dear Chuck: I enjoy reading about nutrition and health but am not sure how to tell if something is real or inaccurate. Can you give me an idea of what to look for and how to tell if it is correct? Confused. | Full Story
