I've given up watching the news for a while as the fires are so out of
control all over the world that I simply do not want to watch and feel
the pain so many thousands are feeling.
This week's "Food of the Week" is a root veggie that we

Something To Think About
============================
STICKING THE HEAD IN THE SAND
The National Institutes of Health. NHLBI funded a
relatively new trial called SANDS (Stop Atherosclerosis in Native
Diabetics Study), which set out to answer the question: Can
atherosclerosis be stopped or reversed when the condition is attacked
with high drug doses?
STUDY PROFILE:
*Researchers recruited 500 American Indians: each subject was
over the age of forty, had type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high
blood pressure
*Subjects were divided into two groups: one group aimed to reach
"standard" recommended LDL cholesterol and blood pressure targets, and
one group was "aggressive" in aiming for substantially lower targets
*For three years, study clinicians examined each subject once every
three months, adjusting doses of statin drugs and blood pressure drugs
as needed in order to reach standard or aggressive targets
*Ultrasound was used to track atherosclerosis in each subjects' carotid
arteries
**Results: Subjects in both groups met their standard or aggressive
targets. Atherosclerosis decreased in the aggressive group, but actually
increased in the standard group. Rates of cardiovascular disease events,
such as heart attack, were about the same in both groups.
Let's not fail to put the spotlight on one very revealing detail: About
250 type 2 diabetics with high cholesterol followed a standard statin
drug regimen for three years, and their atherosclerosis progression
didn't stop, it ADVANCED. If I'm diabetic and my doctor has convinced me
to sign on for a lifetime of statin use, that's not quite the outcome I
would hope for.
An NHLBI press release also offered this quote from the lead author of
the study, Barbara V. Howard, Ph.D.: "Our message to doctors, nurses,
and patients is that you can reach your goal levels, and we should work
together to help you do that." In other words: In spite of the clear
warning at the end of her own study, Dr. Howard seems to believe we
should work together to sign you up for the mega-statin lifetime plan.
And to put things into perspective, we'll finish up with this note
from MedPage Today: Dr. Howard reported serving on the advisory board of
Merck. Merck makes Zocor. Zocor was the statin used in the SANDS trial.
So what is the real story here? We will never know for sure!
=======================
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Another myth busted!
A recent study on Coconut oil disprove what we've been told in the past
about staying away from coconut oil!
Study found;
*plummets LDL (bad) cholesterol by 25% while raising HDL (good) up to
29%--it's been proven in three separate studies to beat the
most-prescribed prescription drugs
*decreases tooth decay by 80%-without having to drop any of your
favorite foods
*reduces blood clots without the dangerous side effects of aspirin
*cuts sinus and ear infections by 93%-you can actually feel it working
in minutes.
One pioneering Texas doctor says the results are so dramatic, his
patients forget to keep using it!

STOP DAMAGING YOUR HAIR,

Every time you take a shower or bathe in tap water without filtration
that's exactly what you do!
According to Dr. Herbert Schwartz, "Chlorine is so dangerous that it
should be banned. Putting chlorine in the water is like starting a time
bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature senility, both mental and
physical are conditions attributable to chlorine treated water supplies.
It is making us grow old before our time by producing symptoms of ageing
such as hardening of the arteries."
That idea - of not exposing ourselves to chlorine and other water
additives - would be good but the water is so bad it must have additives
to prevent severe bacteria borne illness, and there is nothing quite as
effective ad chlorine at this time!

How Important Is Your
Skincare?
Your skin is the largest organ in your body as well as the thinnest.
Anything you put on your body will be absorbed into your blood stream and
distributed to all other organs of the body! The skincare and cosmetic industry
is selling you false information, if you let them! How do they do that? Simply,
nobody is watching them. They do not come under the FDA or any other controlling
entity and they use lots of loop holes to fool you...
The cosmetic industry and their love of loopholes. Some of the biggies are:
"For Professional Use Only" -- This phrase allows cosmetic companies to remove
harmful chemicals from their labels.
"Hypoallergenic" -- No actual testing is necessary to claim that a product is
"hypoallergenic", "allergy-free" or "safe for sensitive skin". Neither the FDA
nor any other regulating body even requires the companies to prove these claims.
Harmful Chemicals -- Unless they are intentionally placed in the product,
harmful chemicals are not required to be listed. It's no shocker that you never
see these.
It's important to use only ingredients that promote your healthy appearance
without doing any potential harm whenever possible.
You eat organic foods to avoid many of the chemicals in commercial foods. Now
you can do the same for your skin. This is important because what you apply to
your skin invariably winds up in your blood.
A good rule for your skin; if you wouldn't eat it it shouldn't go on your skin
either as it will be absorbed into your body the same as food!

The Dirty Root
That We Love!
It is harvest time here for these tubers! Love these crunchy sweet
roots!
Jicama belongs to the legume or bean family (Fabaceae) as it's grown
under a vine like onions or potatoes. It is a popular dietary staple in
Latin America and widely grown in Mexico and Central America also grown
in South Texas... There are many names for Jicama including: the Mexican
potato, Mexican yam bean, ahipa, saa got, Chinese turnip, lo bok,
and Chinese potato.
Jicama looks similar to a turnip or a large white radish, and it can be
used as an alternative to the water chestnut. Its skin is thin and can
be gray, tan, or brown in color. Additionally, it has a single short
root and contains white flesh. The skin is typically peeled before
eating or cooking. Raw jicama is juicy and tastes similar to a less
sweet pear or apple. It also does not discolor when exposed to the open
air for awhile. Because of this, raw jicama is often used as an
accompaniment to raw vegetable platters.
When jicama is used in cooking, as with mushrooms or tofu, it tends to
take on the flavors of the ingredients that it is being combined with.
Therefore, jicama is a nice complement to various stir-fry dishes
because it blends well with many vegetables and seasonings.
A very versatile vegetable that contains a high amount of vitamin C, is
low in sodium, and has no fat. One adult serving of jicama, which is
equal to approximately 1 cup of cubed jicama or 120 grams, also contains
only 45 calories. Rich in the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium,
Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper and Manganese. Also contains
the vitamins; A, E, C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid,
B-6, Folate and B-12.
Jicama is available year-round... When purchasing jicama, select tubers
that are firm and have dry roots. Make sure that the jicama has an
unblemished skin and that is not bruised or dry. Once purchased jicama
can be stored for weeks in a plastic or paper bag in your refrigerator.
However, conversion of starch to sugar will result if stored for
excessive periods and should be avoided.
Jicamas are actually perennials and produce their large roots after
several years of growth when grown in frost free regions. Other areas
may plant in early spring and harvest at first killing frost warning.
Jicamas are suitable for consumption at any stage of growth (size). Look
for well formed tubers that appear fresh and are free of cracks and
bruises.
Preparation for eating - Remove the peel including the fibrous (stringy)
flesh directly under the skin. Cut or slice and serve raw or use as a
substitute for water chestnuts. Sauté or stir fry -- it stays crisp when
cooked. A one pound jicama yields about three cups chopped or three cups
shredded flesh.
Our family loves jicama in fresh salads, stir fry dishes as well as raw
sliced with fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers...
Eat and enjoy

NOTE: Sadly food
alone cannot yield all the necessary healthy nutrients - especially
balance of minerals - as they did in centuries past, so we can't rely
totally on our food intake! Because of the lack of nutrients in our
soils and the pollutants added in the form of air pollution, pesticides,
herbicides and fertilizers important nutrients are almost nonexistent
and we know the body is not capable of producing minerals with even the
healthiest of diets, as it can vitamins, and must be obtained from our
foods or daily supplemented...

Sleeplessness Worse for
Women
Aug. 7, 2009
All "men" are created equal. That turns out not to be the case
when it comes to sleep.
Just this week
a study came out of the U.K. revealing an alarming
discrepancy between the effects lack of sleep brings men versus
women. Scientists looked at two biological markers that relate
to cardiovascular health and discovered that those markers
change a lot when a woman loses sleep but not so much when a man
loses sleep.
In other words, if a woman gets fewer than 8 hours of sleep, her
risk for heart disease goes up (according to these biological
indications), but men don't seem to show such a significant
increase in their risk.
Not fair?
We all know men and women are built differently. Hormones, body
composition, and other physiological variations are probably
contributing to this mismatch seen in the lab. Heart disease
continues to be the number one killer for both sexes, though
let's not forget that, on average, women outlive men.
No matter who you are--man or woman--your risk for
heart disease goes up the more you lose out on sleep. What
this study shows is that this risk may go up more steeply for
a woman than for a man the more she loses sleep.
That's not to say men get a free pass to sleep less.
Statistically, women do complain more than men about poor sleep
and not feeling rested in the morning. A few questions:
-- Can men naturally get away with less sleep and not feel its
ramifications as severely as women?
--Should we separate men and women in all studies about sleep?
--Will there be different risk parameters across the board for
men and women?
--Could these biological markers be leading us astray in making
definitive conclusions about risk between the sexes?
Future studies will bear all this out, as these findings
confirm earlier ones. No wonder this felt so familiar.

Climate change opens
Arctic route for German ships
Aug 24 09
By Erik Kirschbaum
BERLIN - Two German ships set off on Friday on the first journey
across Russia's Arctic-facing northern shore without the help of
icebreakers after climate change helped opened the passage, the
company said.
Niels Stolberg, president and CEO of Beluga Shipping GmbH, said
the "Beluga Fraternity" and "Beluga Foresight" left the Russian
port of Vladivostok on the historic and cost-saving journey with
cargo picked up in South Korea bound for Holland.
The melting of Arctic ice as a result of climate change has made
it possible to send Beluga's multi-purpose heavy lift ships
along the legendary Northeast Passage, Stolberg said.
Beluga got Russian authorities' clearance to send the first
non-Russian commercial vessels through the route on Friday.
The Northern Sea Route trims 4,000 nautical miles off the usual
11,000-mile journey via the Suez Canal -- yielding considerable
savings in fuel costs and CO2 emissions, he said.
"Russian submarines and icebreakers have used the Northern Route
in the past but it wasn't open for regular commercial shipping
before now because there are many areas with thick ice,"
Stolberg told Reuters in an email interview.
"It was only last summer that satellite pictures revealed that
the ice is melting and a small corridor opened which could
enable commercial shipping through the Northeast Passage -- if
all the circumstances were right and the requirements were met."
Stolberg said Beluga was eager to send ships through the
northern route last summer during a six- to eight-week "window"
in August and September when temperatures in the region rise to
20 degrees Celsius or more to open a corridor in the ice.
But they were unable to get the approvals needed from Russian
authorities before the window closed in September.
"The permission process wasn't finished when we needed it so we
used the additional year for more intense planning," he said.
Stolberg's company has already drawn attention for coming up
with innovative answers to climate change. It has been using a
giant towing kite system on some of its vessels to harness wind
energy -- to cut fuel costs and CO2 emissions.
"Global warming is obviously a development with negative
effects. However the melting ice in the Northeast Passage and
the possibility to transit through it has positive effects, too.
Shipping companies can cut bunker consumption and reduce CO2 as
well as other emissions."
