Dear Readers,
Now, about that holiday eating... I've become a fan of Dr. Elson Haas, who I first heard on Sageera.com. He has some great, sensible tips for how to enjoy the holiday consumption traditions without compromising our health morals. He says, "The Holidays are fun with all the heart-warming, friendly-family happenings. Mainly, to stay healthy, you need to know yourselves, and what your body (and stomach, and liver, etc) can handle, and live within that. Listen to your needs for rest and sleep, light eating, taking a day of warm vegetable soup, stretching and moving that body." I love that suggestion about the day of warm vegetable soup. With all those chocolate, cupcakes, candy, and other holiday meats and treats usually within arm's reach, it's a great thought to take a vacation from those special occasion foods, and just let the digestion rest a bit, toning up with some veggie soup--maybe a dark green salad for lunch (with some of those dried holiday cranberries on top), and that hot soup for dinner. Then, take a brisk hike around the neighborhood with Rover (or in my case, Wookie). As Dr. Haas points out, "At times like these, it's just so hard not to indulge, or to accept all the invitations even when we are too tired. It's at those special times when we can listen more deeply to our Selves and not override the sensitivity of our body and our own cycles." Here's wishing you the very best of Holidays! We'll see you again in 2007! In vibrant health,

Holiday survival tips... 
With the holidays here, you have all too many opportunities to eat, drink, and be less than merry. Here are five easy steps to avoid the discomfort of overindulging:
1. Remember that on the holidays, people are far more important than food. This holiday season, try to eat less, eat slower, and focus more on your family and friends.
Soy milk myth...  A recent article from Dr. Kaayla Daniel describes how soybeans are "milked" to make soy milk, and transmogrified into health-harming products nobody needs: After presoaking beans in an alkaline solution, the resulting paste is cooked in a pressure cooker, eliminating key nutrients and producing low levels of the toxin lysinoalanine. After that, the production process becomes a matter of cleaning up the undesirable, beany taste of soy milk, either by presoaking beans beforehand with baking soda or "deodorizing" them using a process similar to refining oil. Sweeteners (raw cane crystals, barley malt or brown rice syrup) and flavorings mask any remaining "beaniness." Sales of soy milk came to $1 billion in 2005. But soy milk drinkers might be surprised to learn that soy milk was originally considered nothing more than a step in the process of making tofu. Soy milk consumption didn't pick up until the late 1970s, when advertisers began promoting it as an energy drink. The soy industry has long concentrated on taste rather than health, however. And since soy milk doesn't exist naturally in nature, it is, and always has been, a processed food. If you're still skeptical about these facts, check out "The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food Revealed," by Dr. Daniel. Modern soy protein foods in no way resemble the traditional Asian soy foods, and may contain carcinogens like nitrates and lysinoalanine. Non-fermented soy products like tofu, soy milk and meatless foods made from textured vegetable protein also contain phytic acid, one of many anti-nutrients it's wise to avoid at all costs. And all of the purported "health benefits" of these products are simply untrue:
DON'T bring home the bacon... 
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Indulging in bacon too frequently may be hazardous to your health, a new study suggests, while taking the skin off your chicken before you cook it might not be so good for you either. Dr. Dominique S. Michaud of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and her colleagues found that people who ate bacon five times a week or more were nearly 60-percent more likely to develop bladder cancer, while those who ate skinless chicken that frequently had a 52-percent greater risk of the disease. Some meat products contain nitrosamines, which are known to cause bladder cancer, Michaud and her team note in their report, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. But the studies that have attempted to investigate the meat-bladder cancer link have been small and most have not separated out the effects of different types of meat. To better understand the relationship, Michaud and her team looked at data for 47,422 men and 88,471 women who were followed for up to 22 years, during which time 808 developed bladder cancer. People who ate bacon and other processed meats frequently were also more likely to smoke and to take in more fat and fewer vitamins, the researchers found. They were also less likely to exercise. The association between the total meat consumption and bladder cancer was not statistically significant. But those who ate bacon five or more times per week were 59-percent more likely to develop bladder cancer than those who never did. Also, men and women who ate chicken this often were 52-percent more likely to develop bladder cancer than those who never ate skinless chicken. Compared with skinless chicken, cooked chicken with skin is known to contain a smaller amount of heterocyclic amines, carcinogenic compounds that form when meat is cooked at high temperatures, the researchers note. The researchers suggest that nitrosamines, heterocyclic amines, or both are responsible for the health effects of bacon seen in the current study, but they note that their findings must be confirmed by other research teams before any conclusions can be made. >>>> SOURCERECOMMENDED LINKS: PureZyme Enzyme Formula (Protein digestion)
Why the big drop in breast cancer... By Gina Kolata, New York Times 
Rates of the most common form of breast cancer dropped a startling 15 percent from August 2002 to December 2003, researchers reported this week. The reason, they believe, may be because during that time, millions of women abandoned hormone treatment for the symptoms of menopause after a large national study concluded that the hormones slightly increased breast cancer risk. Donald Berry, head of the division of quantitative science at the cancer center and the senior investigator for the analysis, called the connection between the drop in rates and hormone use "astounding." Over all, for women of all ages and all breast cancer types, the incidence of the cancer, the second leading killer of women, dropped by 7 percent in 2003, or about 14,000 cases, the researchers said. It was the first time that breast cancer rates had fallen significantly, something experts said was especially remarkable because the rates had slowly inched up, year by year, since 1945. But the current decrease was most striking for women with so-called estrogen-positive tumors, which account for 70 percent of all breast cancers. Dr. Berry said that the biggest effect overall was seen in women ages 50 to 69. That, he added, is the group most likely to have been taking menopausal hormones. In them, the incidence of breast cancer, including the type that grows in response to estrogen and the one that does not, fell by 12 percent in 2003, the latest year for which data is available. The findings of the new analysis were supported by a separate study in California. That study, published in the Nov. 20 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, found an even bigger drop in rates in that state and a correspondingly bigger drop in hormone use starting in July 2002. The heaviest users of hormone therapy were women in affluent places like Marin County, where high breast cancer rates had long troubled women and researchers. Women in those areas also largely abandoned the treatments after the 2002 report and their cancer rates declined accordingly, Dr. Clarke said. Dr. Marcia Stefanick, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and chairwoman of the steering committee for the Women's Health Initiative, said she found the hormone argument persuasive and felt it helped clear up the mystery in Marin County. "Everyone kept saying, What is it? What's in the environment?" she said. Now, she said, it is becoming clear. "The best explanation is hormone therapy." >>>> SOURCERECOMMENDED LINKS:

Vegetarians are smarter... 
Frequently dismissed as cranks, their fussy eating habits tend to make them unpopular with dinner party hosts and guests alike. But now it seems they may have the last laugh, with research showing vegetarians are more intelligent than their meat-eating friends. A study of thousands of men and women revealed that those who stick to a vegetarian diet have IQs that are around five points higher than those who regularly eat meat. Writing in the British Medical Journal, the researchers say it isn't clear why veggies are brainier, but admit the fruit and veg-rich vegetarian diet could somehow boost brain power. The researchers, from the University of Southampton, tracked the fortunes of more than 8,000 volunteers for 20 years. At the age of ten, the boys and girls took a series of IQ tests. When they reached the age of 30, they were asked whether they were vegetarian, and their answers compared to their childhood IQ score. Around four and a half per cent of the adults were vegetarian--a figure
that is broadly in line with that found in the general population. However, further analysis of the results showed those who were brainiest as children were more likely to have become vegetarian as adults, shunning both meat and fish. The typical adult veggie had a childhood IQ of around 105--around five points higher than those who continued to eat meat as they grew up. The vegetarians were also more likely to have gained degrees and hold down high-powered jobs. >>>> SOURCE Superfood of the month: Super CellZyme...
