  When The Dr. Oz Show first asked me to find weight loss tools at a dollar store, I thought my list would be short. To my surprise, however, I found that the dollar stores of today are filled with inexpensive items that support a healthy lifestyle. Sure, I had to be creative, but I found that virtually every aisle had something that could help aid in weight loss. So, no more excuses that dieting is “just too expensive.” Take this list with you during your next visit to the local dollar store and load up on the tools you’ll need for weight-loss success!

  New data from Dartmouth College has found elevated levels of arsenic in foods and infant formula that are sweetened with rice syrup.
