* Low 'energy density' foods aid weight loss *
Foods that fill you up without packing a ton of calories can help in the battle
of the bulge, results of a new study suggest.
In the study, obese women who reduced the "energy density" of their diet by
cutting their intake of fats and adding more fruits and vegetables lost more
weight over a 12-month period, and felt less hungry, than did those who simply
reduced their fat intake.

* Soy Compound Helps Builds Bone: Study *
Genistein, a natural phytoestrogen derived from soy products, worked better than
placebo pills at building bone mineral density in a two-year study of older,
postmenopausal Italian women.
After two years, those taking the soy product had better bone mineral density
than those taking placebo. "[Even] after one year, there was a clear difference
in the women who got the genistein," said Steven Wilson, a biostatistician at
National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Denver, and a co-author of the
study, published June 19 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

* Smokers' Babies Take on Cotinine: Nicotine Byproduct Found in Urine of Infants
Whose Parents Smoke Cigarettes *
The chemical traces of cigarette smoke may show up in babies of parents who
smoke, according to a new study.
The study shows that cotinine, a chemical released when the body breaks down
nicotine, is more abundant in urine samples from smokers' babies than from
nonsmokers' children.

* Hospital emergency rooms try to cut wait times: Electronic tracking boards
allow for faster handling of sick patients *
It's the sort of promotion you might expect from a pizza delivery chain, not a
U.S. hospital system.
Like the pizzeria that picks up the bill for taking too long, a Kansas City
hospital offers cinema passes and a Detroit hospital system gives away major
league baseball tickets to patients who wait half an hour for emergency room
service.

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

* Alternative Medicine *
"I wish I'd researched the alternatives first, Dawson!" moaned my peppy
red-haired friend Bill, holding his head despairingly in his hands. "But we just
plunged right into surgery and radiation when Janice was diagnosed with thyroid
cancer. She became feeble. Her immune system is weak. The treatment almost
killed her. It's been almost two years since she's been able to eat solid food."
It broke my friend's heart to see his wife's health take a dive headfirst. I
could hear it in his voice, and see it in his body language. Just talking about
it, brought him to tears.

* Spirituality *
If you take a stroll through the self-help and spiritual section of any
bookstore, you'll notice a rich spiritual dialogue all over the map with enough
in common to indicate our observations are on the same route. It appears
everyone is still asking the same questions. Is it possible to combine our own
beliefs with a truth that is collected from life's experiences and call it
"spirituality"?
What is spirituality?

Charlene M. Proctor, Ph.D., go to

* Sports Injuries *
About 80 percent of the world's residents suffer from lower back pain at one
time or another. And unlike popular belief, an athletic lifestyle offers no
warranty against the problem. Improper weight training or sporting activities
technically actually increases the load on one's back and may cause pain. In
fact, lower back pain is a common ailment among weightlifters, runners,
cyclists, and other athletes. And until now no one has been exactly sure what
sports-minded people should do to alleviate -- or prevent -- the complaint.

*** Book Review: Betty Crocker's Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cooking Today - By
Betty Crocker Editors ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Betty Crocker is on the health bandwagon. Not one for fads, Betty sensibly bases
this 175-recipe cookbook on the Food Guide Pyramid guidelines recommended by the
American Heart Association and many other medical and nutrition professional
organizations. You learn tips for cutting down on fat and cholesterol,
understanding the different kinds of fat, and making smart food choices for
heart health.
The idea is to reduce fat by making ingredient substitutions and small
alterations, but not making drastic changes. The recipes are varied and creative
and don't resemble "diet food": Ginger Shrimp Kabobs, Vegetable Potstickers,
Stuffed Veal Chops with Cider Sauce, Vegetable and Ham Jambalaya, Curried
Chicken and Nectarines, Caribbean Fish Salad, and Thai Shrimp and Rice Noodle
Nests. The desserts include Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with Raspberry Topping
(only 20 percent fat!), Blueberry-Lime Torte (about 15 percent fat), and Double
Chocolate-Date Cake (about 25 percent fat).
Recipes are labeled with symbols indicating "low-calorie," "low-fat,"
"moderate-fat," "low-cholesterol," and "moderate-cholesterol," so you can choose
how far you want to go. Each recipe has a hefty amount of nutritional
information: calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber,
protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and diet exchanges. Cooks who love
knowing what the dishes should look like will enjoy the 45 mouth-watering color
photos. --Joan Price

Brown Rice and Shitake Mushroom Pilaf
1/2 cup dried Shitake mushrooms (approx. 1/2 ounce), soaked in 1 quart boiling
water
1/2 cup diced carrot
2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/2 cup diced celery
1 pound brown rice, dry weight
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onions

boil in a large saucepan. Add rice, carrot, celery, garlic, and salt. Stir
gently and reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and all
liquid is absorbed, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from heat; add soy sauce,
