I am 64 years old, eat healthy, exercise daily and people say I look great for my age. Over the last 6 months I have gained almost 10 lb. I have been taking three different blood pressure medications because my blood pressure suddenly jumped up very high. Recently I saw a show on the Health channel where Dr. Oz suggested that blood pressure medications increased weight. I have done my research and found that it is true. How can I counteract the side effects of the weight gain without jeopardizing my blood pressure? My Doctor just says that I will have to deal with it because low blood pressure is more important than my weight. -Judith

I love goodies! I feel less guilty indulging in those that are relatively fat free such as gummy bears, licorice, wine gums, etc. and feel that I am better off at least in escaping the unwanted pounds. I noticed that many such goodie products contain gelatin. What is gelatin made from? Is it bad for you? Is there a difference between a natural/organic product made with gelatin vs. a conventional product with gelatin as its ingredient? -Kim
