      <description><![CDATA[1. LACK OF CERTAINTY. No one knows for sure what causes multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. What is known for certain is that the immune system of people with MS erodes the myelin sheath that covers and protects certain nerves, which interferes with communication between the brain and specific parts of the body. Unfortunately, no single test for diagnosing MS exists.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[1. NOT THE SAME. Some people believe that stretching and warming up are more or less the same. They&#146;re not. Warming up is designed to prepare an individual for the demands of the physical activity that follows. As such, a few minutes of engaging in low-intensity whole-body exercise (e.g., jogging in place) can be an appropriate warm-up. Warming up should always precede stretching because stretching cold muscles can result in an injury to the affected musculature.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Many people have the urge to undertake a cleanse or detoxification program as a means to kick-start a weight loss goal. The diet recommendations that accompany many of the detoxification programs virtually assure the participant will be consuming fewer calories than normal through fasting, meal replacements, or food selections that are less calorically dense. Detoxification programs have other benefits that are sought after by the consumer, however; weight loss tends to be a main long term objective.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Okay, first things first. I LOVE the taste of chocolate milk, it is delicious. That being said I have never confused it with being a particularly healthy or low calorie beverage option. Often times, the inspiration for these articles are from patients or friends who are interested in this particular topic. After many, many TV commercials over the last couple of years with basketball players chugging back some chocolate milk following a workout and having it appear at the end of the various races that I have participated throughout the valley, I decided to dig a little deeper. Is there any validity to chocolate milk as an exercise supplement beverage? Compared to what? Why does it help? Why not just plain milk?]]></description>

Caffeine is a naturally occurring mild chemical stimulant that exists in a variety of foodstuff, including coffee, tea, chocolate, and cola drinks. Without question, the average individual consumes a copious amount of caffeine annually.
