When I want something that isn’t an egg for breakfast, I enjoy different versions of this n’oatmeal breakfast bowl because it’s quick, purty, easy, filling, sweetened only with fruit, can be served warm or cold, and is a blank canvas on which to play play PLAY with the toppings of your choice! If that doesn’t recommend it to ya, I don’t know what will. You have to be a fan of coconut, true, but if you are (and especially if your belly happens to be sensitive to grains, nuts, or eggs) then...

By Athena Philis-Tsimikas, M.D. Living with type 2 diabetes means making smart choices for meals, snacks, and beverages — especially if you are also trying to lose or maintain your weight.

THC vs CBD: The Main Differences

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] CBD vs. THC: Chemical structure Both CBD and THC have the exact same molecular structure: 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms.

CBD vs. THC: Psychoactive components Despite their similar chemical structures, CBD and THC don’t have the same psychoactive effects. In fact, CBD is a nonpsychoactive compound. That means it doesn’t produce the “high” associated...
