2) Once considered a carcinogen, coffee has been cleared of these charges. But very hot coffee (and other drinks)? That could be a problem. Bottom line: Let your coffee and tea cool slightly before you drink it.

5) Diets are a disaster for many people. Neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt examines why in her new book Why Diets Make Us Fat. She talked with NPR about why traditional diets not only don’t work for many people but sometimes leave the dieter in worse shape than before.

7) Most of the salt we eat is already in our food when it comes to the table — more than 70 percent. It was added by manufacturers. The New York Times shows us where the hidden salt is — and how to avoid it.

9) You’ve heard it before: Eat more whole grains. Now, according to a new meta-analysis, eating more whole grains is linked to a reduced risk of death from cancer, heart disease, and infectious disease. Current dietary guidelines recommend 3 daily servings or more of whole grains.
