Is there a correlation between drinking large amounts of soda and diabetes?? I have been over indulging on soda all of my life. My moms friend used to drink 2 cokes everyday at lunch and he has just been diagnosed at an early age of like 30 something. I mean diabetes is caused by high blood sugar, is there a relation?

The feeling kind of comes and goes, not really sure what is and it feels like my stomach is "growling" a lot. Any thoughts?

For personal/health reasons, we are not vaccinating our son. I met his new doctor today and he was very friendly and accepting..however he asked me to write out a statement that they would keep on file in their office, stating my religious/medical/or philosophical reason that we wish not to vaccinate. Is there a form I can find online or any ideas on what I should say, and does it need to be notarized?
And please don't attack me or judge me on this issue, as I know it is a hot one: you have no idea what I have been through with this vaccination ordeal, and not a decision I came to lightly.

I really eat a healthy diet (pretty much pescatarian as of late, lots of fruits, whole grains, oily fish, nuts, plant oils, veggies...no fast or processed foods on a regular basis) and yet, all of a sudden, out of the blue, I seem to be holding on to about 3-4 lbs this month!!! I am freaking out, because I think and feel like I look like a whale. I am a little over 5'10, and I *used* to weigh in at 136 lbs. Lately, I've been at 140!!

My belly is pretty much flat and I am in good physical shape, but I am obviously bloated, and I have no idea why. No upset stomach or nothing, and my period is over. I just had it last week, so I can't blame this on water retention, can I? If so, why now out of the blue? I am 27 years old.

I am about to become a full-blown vegetarian because I am afraid I am going to become a blimp. I know fat sneaks up on people. I am not trying to engage in a fad diet, but if anyone has tips to lose 5 lbs., I'd love to hear it. I do exercise daily.

So, I am a 14 year old who weighs about 142.2 pounds, Iw ould like to lose about 20-30 pounds, will I start to see results if I change my eating ways (Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain rice/bread, just that kind of thing) And excerisie daily? I would be using my air climber. Which is a stepper that combines cardio/toning and all that good stuff in one. So will I be able to lose the weight over time with this schedule?

I have a swollen mildly painful lump on the right side of my chest just under my breast. It gets a little extra uncomfortable when I have my period. I've actually had it for 2 years. I know it sounds crazy to let something like that go unattended but I don't have a job or medical insurance. I paid to go to a doctor once who said that there was a very very low slight chance it was cancerous but I should get a mammogram for my own peace of mind. Here I am 2 years later without that peace of mind still. The lump has remained exactly the same for 2 years which makes me think it's not something serious but I still don't know and would like to but don't know what to do or how to pay.:(
Can anyone ease my fears of what it might be and suggest the best thing to do in my situation?? Thanks so much.

There's a job position requires the passing of the Vision Test set at 7/4, I really do not know what it means. If someone's vision is about -7.0, will that be impossible for that job??

It feels like there is a peice of hair stuck in the back of my throat constantly tickling me. Then the other day I looked in there and noticed that there was like a hole ( which I think is normal ) right by my tonsil. I felt I always had bad breath. Then the other day I was messing with it and about a teaspoon of SOMETHING came out of the hole. It smelt really bad, and was a very light brown color. I thought that might be the end of it but it just came back. I have no idea what it could be!

I think it's stereotypical that the society I've dealt with condemned women from having strong sexual desires.

Isn't this why God put us on earth....to reproduce. Is it a "feeling" that we women are supposed to get at some point in our lives that we want to be pregnant and have babies? So is it abnormal to never have the urge to have/want children? Should we get an "urge" to be a mom?
