How much is just right?

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends limiting your intake of added sugars to no more than 1/2 of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

Women: About 6 teaspoons of sugar (up to 100 calories)
Men: About 9 teaspoons (about 150 calories)

Better ones: blue agave, honey, sugar on the raw
Remember: they all have the same caloric amount!
My preferred Substitutes:  Stevia,  Truvia
The rest: Equal, Splenda, Saccharine- some have been banned in Europe, others affect brain health or gut bacterial balance.

My take:

An Echocardiogram (heart test) can cost from $150- $350 depending on the provider, for example.

This is a sad reality.   We know that a bread loaf will probably have about the same price (give and take) at different supermarkets or bakeries. Not a medical test or procedure.  There is a disconnect with pricing when it comes to the medical arena. Even physicians, me included, are totally unaware of pricing for certain tests.

Furthermore,  if you are covering the cost of a test with medical insurance (depending on your co-insurance amount), you could end up paying more than if you did not have insurance at all.

Bottom Line:
 Always compare pricing if you have a high deductible policiy or  you are uninsured when you schedule a test or procedure. Be a good consumer!

Unless the bottle is a glass one, skip the bottled water.
Plastic bottles (among other things such as lining of cans) are full of Bisphenol compounds.
There are several types : Bisphenol A, S, and others.  
Nicknames?  BPA , BPS, etc.
In recent years, numerous studies have reported alarming associations between BPA exposure and myriad adverse health and development effects, from cancer and neurological disorders to physiological defects and, perhaps, a cause of childhood obesity.
