Is Functional Medicine or Integrative Cardiology right for you? 

Conventional medicine is good at putting patients in a box and labeling a set of signs and symptoms with a diagnosis that is most often treated with pharmaceuticals. Functional medicine, on the other hand, is about thinking outside the box to reverse dysfunctional health processes.

"Our study suggests artificially sweetened beverages may not be a healthy substitute for sugar drinks, and these data provide additional arguments to fuel the current debate on taxes, labeling and regulation of sugary drinks and artificially sweetened beverages," said lead author Eloi Chazelas, a doctoral student and member of the nutritional epidemiology resear
