Health - 17 October 2006

Reading the headlines (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6058416.stm) and I see other countries are getting on the ball (Denmark has BANNED trans fats) and yet here in America, companies can not only sell food that contains trans fat, but if the serving size is small enough, they can list their product deceptively as 'trans fat free' (all with the good graces of the FDA.) Why?

I have gotten a cold twice in the past two months. Should I be worried? I just moved to a new city, so I am thinking I am not use to the weather patterns and maybe exposed to more and different germs thatn back home. But, I didn't know if getting sick twice in 2 1/2 months should raise a red flag.

it is white gold and i have had it about a year, i am okay with yellow gold though, if i wear the white gold ring, my finger swells and gets really itchy and the skin cracks.
I know that white gold is made of different stuff, so what do you think i am allergic too?

hi, i know this might sound weird to some, but i have a massive fear of meeting someone when i'm out clubbing etc...i'm 24 and i'm not a bad looking lad, i am not really short of offers but when i get approached by a girl i often say "i have a girlfriend" :/

i have only really had 1 girlfriend and sexual partner (18) and when we split up, i kissed another girl in a club - thing is (embarrsing to say) but i was useless...now ive been scared for life through it :/ i just try to avoid it.

i'm 100% straight, i love girls...but of couse my friends are talking wondering if i'm gay or not...thing is i'm just scared of embarrassment, i know its something i need to get out of though as ive already turned down girls most lads would shoot me with a shotgun if they knew lol.

can somebody tell me i get out of this? (ie without talking to a doctor) as i don't think they can give any advice, but its defantly psychological, thanks for the help.

I am trying to lose weight, so I am on a diet. Is eggs a good thing to eat when you are trying to lose weight? I find that if I eat eggs for breakfast in the morning, that it gives me a lot of energy. Any expert opinions out there?

My daughter is 12 years old and she is not excited about having to get a shot or a seris of 3 shots (I think she has to get the series but I am unsure) but will do it if it helps prevent ovarian cancer.

I share this small office with him alone and he dictates his letters crouched on the floor in a corner behind me. I temp in the same hospital a lot and this is the first time I've worked for him. I work for someone else now (I float around the hospital as a secretary) and how he's asked me to work for him again, but under that situation, I'm reluctant.

I have always had loads of energy and been a positive person, now I can't be bothered with things I used to love to do. No reason for this and I would love to find my motivation again. Has anyone felt like this and what did they do to get back to normal. Please let me know.
