1. "Trick or - eek! Halloween candy nutrition labels!" from The Washington Post"Even if you don't go trick-or-treating, it's hard to avoid Halloween candy this time of year. For those of us who aim to eat healthfully, there are three basic approaches to candy, Halloween candy in particular: You can abstain, which is easier said than done. You can carefully select treats that you can justify, choosing candies that are, say, lower in fat or calories than others, or take longer to eat. Or you can decide to enthusiastically indulge in what will truly satisfy your craving for candy, but do so in moderation and know when to quit."
2. "The Juice Cleanse: A Strange and Green Journey" from the NYTimes
"So, what’s so bad about juice cleansing? Done occasionally, for a few days at a time, apparently nothing. Done regularly, for a week or more, quite a bit."
Hmm ... perhaps this article should come with a note to readers: "Don't try this at home."
