  • Which Japanese Diet is the Magic Secret: Natto or Agar?
    This article examines three Japanese diet fads in recent years: bananas, natto, and agar.

  • Black tea or green: Which is healthier?
    This article looks at teas around the world: black, green, and wasp. Black and green teas both offer many health benefits although research is still in its infancy. For Japanese, green tea is important for cultural reasons too. Americans are interested in tea as a drink and for health benefits, but tea is only a drink to most Americans.
  • Japan, colds, and IVs

Visiting the doctor can be a speedy process or take hours depending on the timing. Many Japanese with colds act differently from most Americans in at least four major ways: masks, gargling, carrying on to show their fighting spirit and not burdening others, and IV (intravenous) cocktails.
