A long, long time ago, a completely wrong-headed idea started being passed around America's dinner tables: Eating fat makes you fat. Well, it's time to erase that from your mind as it's simply wrong. Eating fat won't make you gain weight, any more than eating money will make you rich. Consuming foods that are high in calories can lead you to pack on the pounds, and most "low-fat" or "fat-free" foods actually have just as many calories as their full-fat versions, because of added sugar and chemicals. And there's no debate…

Morocco was officially qualified after a draw between Burundi and the Central African Republic (2-2) and was content with a draw in Mauritania (0-0) for the 5th day in the qualifiers in Group E. It is a result that does not necessarily suit Mauritania who no longer has his fate in hand for a qualification for CAN 2021. More than 16 months later, the return match looks strange to the first stage (0-0). Between Moroccans and Mauritanians there were no winners, no goals. And above all, a little spectacle, so to speak. In the…

A commission that spent almost two years exposing France's role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide concluded that Friday reacted too slowly to estimate the scale of the terror, which left more than 800,000 dead, but cleared the country of involvement in the massacre. The report said France was carrying "heavy and overwhelming responsibility" in the operation that led to the killings, which mainly claimed victims of Rwanda's ethnic minority in Tutsi. Persistent claims that France under then-President Francois…

Before we explain why you should not do any training movements, there is one thing we need to get out of the way first: When you perform any form of training, both your level of benefit as an athlete and the right form are most important. "After all, there is really no such thing as exercise movements that harm your body," says Eni Kadar, PT, DPT, CAC. DN, an orthopedic physiotherapist based in Florida.

March 25, Gerber's coach, Kirk Myers, published a series of videos with the model that works, and they are nothing short of strenuous. In the first video, Gerber and her friend, Bachelor competitor Kit Keenan,…

It's no secret that here at Eat This, Not That!, we spend a lot of time unmasking health imposters. And the truth is, the superpowers of kale, like the dangers of the Bermuda Triangle, have been highly exaggerated. Sure, it's good for you, but the ranking of kale as our greatest green is just one of many word-of-mouth myths that drive our nutritional decision-making, often in the wrong direction. Much of what we believe about food is really just hearsay, a game of nutritional telephone handed down from science journals…
