While Showbiz figures dominated the most-read list of most newspapers and Internet sites, for SixWise we featured the wild and wacky articles that reflected interest as we coined the term INSANE Sports (with nothing derogatory intended):

While the forecast for global warming won former Vice President Gore the Nobel Prize (that we never countered or commented upon), we realize many others have questioned global warming due to the many cold snaps, and heavy snow and ice that was greater in many areas most years this decade than ever before … so we instead chose to focus on “less hype” oriented news and hopefully more personal and relevant holiday season topics of interest. The articles that follow were a few that had the highest readership (that also might “still” be of interest this time of year for you).

#3 Holiday Hazards to Children, Pets and You

#2 155,000 Toys Recalled Due to Choking Hazards: What Every Parent Need to Know About Toys and Safety

#1 Holiday Dangers for Those Who Struggle With Binge Eating

The greatest health FEARS and WARNINGS began this decade in April 2009 as we saw the H1N1 swine flu emerged from Mexico, then fear spread across the media in the US and to Britain, then throughout the world.

What has been eclipsed and overlooked are many other HEALTH WARNINGS, some that have equal if not many times GREATER relevance for you and your family!

They are listed below in the order of highest readership (lowest to highest) … which for us is admittedly concerning. For example “MRSA” should be near to the top based on health risk and concerns. We will have more articles coming in 2010 on MRSA (with the hope it will have even higher readership) as well as others including swine flu.

We do not discount or suggest that the swine flu is not of high concern or interest. We simply hope that equally or more concerning health issues will be read this coming year for the sake of you and your loved ones.

The following articles had less readership than EACH swine flu article, yet all articles, we believe, were highly important:

We thank all of you who shared your comments and we together will watch to see what comes to fruition.
