* Pure fruit juice not likely to add pounds on kids: Beverages contain nutrients and help maintain weight, study says *

Contrary to popular belief, drinking pure 100 percent fruit juice does not make young children overweight or at risk for becoming overweight, new research shows. Pure fruit juice provides essential nutrients and, in moderation, may actually help children maintain a healthy weight.

Inconsistent research findings have led to continued debate over the potential associations between drinking 100 percent fruit juice, nutrient intake and overweight in children.

* Study: Estrogen May Help Fight Disease: Study Finds Estrogen May Help Women Resist Heart Disease That Can Be Caused By Air Pollution *

Estrogen may give women an edge in resisting heart disease that can be caused in part by air pollution, a new West Virginia University study found.

Researchers determined that males and post-menopausal females are more likely to suffer damaged arteries linked to diesel exhaust than women of childbearing age. That coincides with a major national study released earlier this year showing older women are at significantly higher risk for heart problems caused by air pollution than other people.

* For flavor, buy your milk in the dark, prof says *

Does your milk taste like wet cardboard? Blame the bright lights in your market's dairy section.

"Milk stored within a few inches of fluorescent light in translucent containers usually has a detectable oxidized flavor within two to four hours and a distinct off-flavor within 12 hours," said Robert Marshall, University of Missouri food science professor.

* Feeling lethargic, moody, tired, fat? It could be your thyroid *

Most people say they're tired when they skip their morning run or nod off during their favorite 9 o'clock sitcom. But if you want to know about real bone-crunching fatigue, the kind that chains you to your bed, ask someone with a thyroid disorder.

For me, the exhaustion was totally out of character. I'd always been high-energy, even a tad hyper. Six hours of sleep a night was enough. Then last fall I became a different person, someone I didn't like very much at all.

* Spirituality *

If we were to see someone trying to warm himself on a winter's night by snuggling up to a color photo of a fireplace, we would easily recognize this person as being deluded. We know that the glossy paper image which he clings to for life-sustaining heat is powerless to do anything but mock his obviously oblivious mind.

* Heart Health *

Here's a fact missed by just about everyone: To maintain a healthy heart that will take you far into old age, long duration endurance training is the last thing you need. You will do much more for your heart by exercising in brief spurts. If you do it effectively, expect to spend no more than ten minutes a day.

* Mind and Body *

The human body, mind, and spirit have incredible, deeply rooted instincts for self-preservation. People go to extreme lengths to protect themselves, often doing things or avoiding things, creating outcomes that seem to run contrary to what they think they want. You might think that your procrastination, resistance, and lack of wanting to take actions to move you toward your goals are ruining your chances for success, and maybe even ruining your life. But what if they're not? What if they are somehow serving you?

*** Book Review: Dying to be Young: From Botox to Botulism--A True Story of Survival – By Dr. Eric Kaplan ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

Written by businessman and retired chiropractor/acupuncturist Dr. Eric Kaplan, "Dying to be Young: From Botox to Botulism" is the true-life story of the horrific ordeal the author and his wife endured because of the botulism inflicted upon them through medical malpractice. Both had been getting botox injections to hide the advance of age; when an unscrupulous physician allowed them to receive improperly diluted treatment, and then lied to them about their symptoms, both of them suffered acutely as bacterial toxins paralyzed their bodies, leaving them unable to breathe unassisted. Because of their doctor's refusal to admit that they suffered from botulism, they did not receive antitoxin in time to lessen the severity of the damage to their bodies. Only after the long course of months could they gradually regain use of their bodies from a state of total paralysis -- all while nightmarishly aware of their surroundings.

This is the story of their recovery, their Christian faith, their efforts to seek legal justice against the physician who wronged them; perhaps above all, it is the story about the extreme dangers of botox and all cosmetic surgery, and a cautionary tale against modern overdependency on drugs. "Dying to be Young" also offers insights into the true nature of youth as a state of mind, not a physical illusion, and warns that the extreme toxicity of botox makes it a potentially dangerous chemical weapon that could be used by terrorists -- a strong reason to more strictly limit its distribution than the currently lax guidelines, or even outlaw it entirely. Highly recommended. --Midwest Book Review

Stir Fried Seafood with Asparagus

This dish is so easy to prepare, yet the combination of flavors together is complex and delicious. It is a healthier way to serve stir-fry with our Healthy Stir-Fry method, using no heated oils. It has many nutritious ingredients and is good enough to serve to company. They would never guess it took only 25 minutes to prepare.

Prep and Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1 medium onion cut in half and sliced medium thick
1 TBS chicken or vegetable broth
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
3 medium cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups fresh sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 bunch thin asparagus cut in 2" lengths (discard bottom fourth)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 TBS soy sauce
2 TBS mirin wine
pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 lb snapper fillet cut into 1 inch pieces
8 large scallops
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in quarters
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt and white pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat 1 TBS broth in a stainless steel wok or 12-inch skillet. Healthy Stir Fry onion in broth over medium high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add ginger, garlic, mushrooms, and asparagus. Continue to stir fry for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

2. Add lemon juice, soy sauce, mirin, red pepper flakes, snapper, scallops, shrimp, and stir to mix well. Cover and simmer for just about 5 minutes stirring occasionally on medium heat.

3. Toss in tomatoes, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Serve.

Serves 4

Healthy Cooking Tips:

Make sure all of your ingredients are ready before beginning to stir-fry. Once you begin to cook it goes fast, and the key to the success of this recipe is not over cooking the ingredients. Use a thick cut snapper filet that is about 1 inch thick. This will keep it from falling apart. Large shrimp usually come 26-30 per pound. By using this size shrimp with large scallops and thick cut snapper, they all cook in about the same amount of time. This dish is meant to be served with ingredients briefly cooked. If you cannot find thin asparagus, increase the cooking time before adding the fish. This way the asparagus can cook without overcooking the rest of the ingredients. Another minute or two should be enough.
