* Men Face Higher Colon Cancer Risk *

Wednesday, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that polyps linked to colon cancer are 73 percent more common in men than in women, leading researchers to suggest that colorectal cancer screening guidelines be changed.

For example, perhaps women might want to start their screening at a later age, suggested the Polish authors of a paper published in the Nov. 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

* Study: Depression Sufferers Try Multiple Drugs Before Finding Effective Treatment *

The final stage of a landmark federal study on treating depression suggests that two-thirds of sufferers eventually can be helped if they are patient enough to keep trying medications until they find one that works.

*** Health/Safety Tips & Articles for the Week ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

* Eating *

I have been preparing my own meals for many years. Like most people, I suppose, I would fix only familiar dishes.

That has changed. For health benefits, I began eating more fruits and vegetables, including some that were unfamiliar. I tried many foods that were new to me, for example, whole grains, and various types of beans, seeds and nuts. Many of those became favorites.

* Juicing *

My son was excited when he called me the other day. Now what would excite a 28-year-old, single male in his last year of law school?

A good grade, a win for his intramural basketball team, a Seahawks score, or perhaps a girl?

Nope, not even close. You’ll never guess--not in a hundred years. I’m still recovering from the shock.

His thrill of the moment--a juicer. Yes, you read it right--one of those whirling machines that separates the juice from the pulp of fresh fruits and vegetables.

* Motivation *

Imagine this:

An assignment you have been waiting for has finally come along but for some reason you find yourself literally struggling to accomplish the task. You just can’t seem to be able to get the work done. You keep spinning your wheels and making no progress. You are stuck. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and the deadline is fast approaching. The more you try to focus on the task at hand, the more anxious and stressed out you get.

*** Book Review: The New Soy Cookbook: Tempting Recipes for Tofu, Tempeh, Soybeans, & Soymilk – By Lorna Sass ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

Soyfoods have been a staple in Asian cooking for millennia, but until recently only a few Westerners took much interest in cooking with them. Now deemed a "miracle food," soy may help prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, reduce heart disease, prevent osteoporosis, and relieve the symptoms of menopause. Award-winning natural foods cookbook author and food writer Lorna Sass shares her decade of soyfood cookery research in "The New Soy Cookbook," pairing soyfoods with ingredients and seasonings of cuisines from around the world. Beautifully laid out and illustrated, the book includes more than 40 recipes using soymilk, tofu, tempeh, soy sauce, and miso. The recipes reveal influences from all over, highlighting the cuisines of China, Italy, Thailand, Indonesia, and France, reflecting a delicious fusion of East and West.

Red Lentil Soup with Indian Spices, Tempeh Braised in Coconut Milk with Lemongrass, Curried Tofu with Spinach and Tomatoes, Sage-scented Cornmeal Scones, Pumpkin Tart with Pecan Crust, Codfish and Clam Chowder, and Black Soybean Salsa with Swordfish Strips are only a sampling of the tempting recipes you will find in Sass's lovely compendium. With only a few desserts, Sass focuses more on savory dishes using no meat, very little dairy, some seafood, and somewhat unusual ingredients such as quinoa, shiitake mushrooms, mesclun, kabocha squash, and broccoli rabe. With mouthwatering photographs, "The New Soy Cookbook" would make a handsome addition to any inspired cook's bookshelf. --Gretel Hakanson
