Study Shows That More Than Treasures Are Hidden in Sand
Children are catching more than hidden treasures while digging at the beach. According to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, tots under the age of 11 who play in the sand are 44 percent more likely to come down with a gastrointestinal illness or diarrhea than those who don't, while lil ones that like to be buried in the sand are 27 percent more likely to become ill.

Label Able: Inulin
I admit that I'm a huge label reader and I've even been re-reading labels from foods I've been enjoying for years. Before working out, I was chomping on a Luna Bar and in the list of ingredients, I saw inulin.
