* Sunscreen may get tougher rating system: FDA cracks down on unproven claims for protection against UVA rays *

It may be the summer of '09 before beachgoers can count on finding sunscreens to protect against the deeper, penetrating rays linked to wrinkles and cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday proposed long-delayed rules covering the ingredients, labeling and testing of sunscreens that boast of protecting against both the sun's ultraviolet B rays, which cause sunburn, and the ultraviolet A rays associated with more serious and longer-term damage.

* Kids' High Blood Pressure Often Missed: Study Shows Doctors May Be Underdiagnosing Hypertension in Children *

High blood pressure in children and teens appears increasingly common, but it frequently goes undiagnosed, according to new research.

Three out of four children in the study who were found to have high blood pressure also had no previous diagnosis of the disorder. Only one in 10 children with borderline high blood pressure, or pre-hypertension, had a prior diagnosis.

* The best multivitamin for you -- and 11 to steer clear of *

You've been told for years that popping a multivitamin every day might help you live longer. But the daily multi habit has been getting a bit of bad press lately.



First, ConsumerLab.com, a watchdog of the supplement industry, found that more than half of the 21 multis it tested had too much (or too little) of certain vitamins -- or had been contaminated with dangerous substances such as lead. Then a controversial paper from researchers in Denmark and other European countries, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, made the claim that taking vitamins may actually shorten your life.

* Healing *



There is a consciousness movement around the world that reflects an advancement in human evolution - a growing recognition, or, more rightly, a remembrance that we are spiritual beings first, and in physical form, second. Many have surged past the limiting belief in body and mind alone, forging into the reality that we are much more than who or what we seem. This is the foundation for true healing: realizing that wholeness means acknowledging, accepting, and living a fully connected life in body, mind, and spirit.

*** Book Review: Eating for Pregnancy: An Essential Guide to Nutrition with Recipes for the Whole Family - By Catherine Jones with Rose Ann Hudson, R.D., L.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

Aiming to fill a gap in the market, Jones has collaborated with perinatal nutritionist Hudson to produce a volume that combines both recipes and nutritional advice aimed specifically at the mother-to-be. Delicately balancing optimum and unnecessary weight gain with the required dietary needs for a healthy lifestyle, Jones and Hudson also addresses the requirements of diabetic, vegetarian, and vegan diets.

After an introduction providing a summary of needs and goals, the authors start with breakfast and move through the usual soups, salads, and mains before finishing with desserts. A full chapter is dedicated to the vegetarian diet, and at the beginning of each chapter recipes are highlighted to indicate that they conform to a vegan diet. Each section contains recommended pantry items for the recipes. Along the way Jones makes full use of convenience and semi-prepared ingredients to provide simple yet flavorful dishes, while Hudson doles out advice on vitamins, health hazards, and goals.



Each recipe is preceded with the nutritional goal for baby and mother-to-be and followed by tips for cooking, storage, health, special diet,s as well as complete meal ideas, variations, and the approximate nutritional content. Appendixes on weight, sources of nutrition from calcium to iron, and food safety round out the book. Despite the book's wordiness and repetition in places, there is an overwhelming amount of information. (Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
