You can relax-you're doing as much as you can to stay healthy, right? Wrong! You may be surprised that some of the smartest, most educated people around make health mistakes that are easily corrected. Are you guilty of one of these common health errors?
- You use too much artificial sweetener. We've all had it drummed into our heads that sugar is bad-it causes cavities, weight gain, and hyperactivity.
