		<title>Clear Skin Diet #7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last blog we discussed saturated fats.  We will continue to discuss fatty acids with monounsaturated fats. II. Monounsaturated Fat Monounsaturated fatty acids are liquids at room temperature and semisolid or solid when refrigerated.  Foods containing monounsaturated fats reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL, the “bad”) cholesterol, while possibly increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL, the “good”) cholesterol.

		<title>Clear Skin Diet #6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started the omega-3 section of this blog I quickly realized I could not write about why we needed omega-3 oils if I didn&#8217;t know details about the other oils we consume.  While researching the subject I found myself wading in the minutiae of fatty acid composition.  I really did not want to learn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clear Skin Diet #5</title>

		<title>Clear Skin Diet #4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After writing the last nutrition blog I decided to elaborate on Omega-3 fatty acids by examining and explaining the various types. What started out as “a few more details” turned into a much more complicated picture on the subject of FATS.  We need to have a general discussion about oil so we can understand why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clear Skin Diet #3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Acne and disease are on the rise globally due to the influence of Western food. The Japanese had virtually no acne or cancer, and very low cholesterol levels before fast food arrived in their country.

		<title>Clear Skin Diet #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Clear Skin Diet book review continued: This is a compilation of facts of what I think are important points taken from the book. It’s not just sun, smoke and pollution that cause skin problems.  We now have scientific proof that poor diet leads to acne, wrinkles, and most other skin problems. In the last half century [...]]]></description>

		<title>Microcurrent “Facelift”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spending time answering questions about products and devices featured in magazines, newspapers and television is not usually much fun. However, it gives me an opportunity to do in depth research on popular products and devices featured in the media.

		<title>The Clear Skin Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While attending a plastic surgery conference I heard Dr. Rubin, a well-known and respected dermatologist, speak on what he knows best—the skin.  I quickly marched out of the room after his lecture so I could ask him a question about skin and its relation to diet.  I was expecting the usual response given by physicians, [...]]]></description>

		<title>What to Look for in a Good Vitamin C Product</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last e-mail, I explained the importance of Vitamin C in the production of collagen (downloaded here).
