They showed the front seat of his vehicle and the floor was literally piled up with empty soda bottles, and it was only a few days worth, he confessed he doesn't drink water or anything else, just soda.
Their evening meal consisted of two meals, one with meat and vegetables for his wife and kids, and he has pizza. Homemade pizza, frozen pizza, and takeout pizza, it doesn't matter...it's pizza, the carbs and cheese man.

Dr. Oz's Warning Signs Of Snot
Dr. Oz talks about how your snot can tell you if your healthy or not, and gives us hints on how our body is doing. In the video Dr. Oz talks about how snot works and what it's supposed to do for you. The snot is moved along on a little conveyor belt of tiny little hairs called cilia. The cilia move the snot to the back of your throat where you swallow it, which is what we are supposed to do if everything is running smooth.
If you have a problem with your snot, it will not drain properly back down your throat but drip out of your nose.
White snot means it is healthy snot
Yellow/Green snot means bacteria or a viral infection
Pink/Red snot means bleeding and damaged tissue -- dry air prevents are nose from being lubricated and the membranes crack in the nostrils.
Dr. Oz says we you have a lot of snot, congestion problems, there are solutions. Some foods make it worse, peppers make more snot, and perfumes. Dr. Oz suggested using a neti pot, and ginger teas. There is also antitoxidant inhalers available by prescription.
