The United States may be the greatest country in the world, but it's becoming more and more evident that it's certainly not the most healthy.  New data indicates the health of most Americans is headed in the wrong direction.

The rate of diabetes is growing at an incredible rate and there are people listening right now that have it, and donât even know it.  But new information indicates that the way doctors have traditionally diagnosed diabetes may not be the most accurate.

And we know that moderate amounts of alcohol may actually be beneficial except for one particular group.
