Should You Be Drinking Coconut Milk?

Maybe.

The information out there is inconclusive.

Sure, it tastes great.

But, it lacks the protein of cow's milk...and it adds almost double the saturated fat.

So, despite some claims about how awesome coconut milk is for you, be careful. Sure, enjoy it...and it's nutritious taste - especially if you are into an animal-free diet. But, be wary -- the claims about its health benefits just might be exaggerated.

How Can you get more energy?

With the vitamins found in Tea ...and with magnesium.

Magnesium is also important and you can find it in some nuts...

So, have some tea and sesame seeds or almonds...and power-up.

Is the Cinnamon Challenge Really Dangerous?

Sort of... maybe...

Here's a report about it.

Of course, it burns...and it hurts your lungs...and you might, in a rare case, suffocate.

But mainly, it's the dry, burning sensation, the coughing...and the vomiting.

On the other hand, since cinnamon is getting some newfound attention, it's worth noting that consuming cinnamon can help boost metabolism -- which can help you lose weight. So, take a different kind of cinnamon challenge.

Find 5 new foods you enjoy with cinnamon ... and put it on! It'll jack up your metabolic rate and help kickstart some weight loss.

And of course, butter burr... not sure what that is, but supposedly, it helps fight allergies.
