Tobacco is a mood-altering, addictive drug
that kills 500,000 Americans a year (200 million worldwide)
Costs $400 billion each year, according to "Smoking and Health
Review," (1992).
The American Lung Association says tobacco contains more than 4,000
chemicals, 60 of which causes cancer.
Some of the 'killers' are radioactivity, arsenic, ammonia, lead,
formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, phenol, benzene and hydrogen
cyanide (the 'gas chamber' gas that poisons the respiratory enzymes)

Something To Think About
============================
Is Agribusiness Making Food Less Nutritious?
Growing evidence indicates that today's fruits, vegetables, meat and
dairy products have less vitamins and nutrients than in the past.
By Cheryl Long and Lynn Keiley
Fertilizers. Non-organic farmers use highly soluble nitrogen
fertilizers, and keeping this nutrient in their soils is difficult. To
be sure they get high yields, they often apply more nitrogen than the
crops actually need.
This dependence upon chemical nitrogen fertilizers means we?re getting
less for our money, says Benbrook. Numerous studies have demonstrated
that high levels of nitrogen stimulate quick growth and increase crop
yields because the fruits and vegetables take up more water. In effect,
this means consumers pay more for produce diluted with water. ?High
nitrogen levels make plants grow fast and bulk up with carbohydrates and
water. While the fruits these plants produce may be big, they suffer in
nutritional quality,? Benbrook says, ?whereas organic production systems
[which use slow-release forms of nitrogen] produce foods that usually
yield denser concentrations of nutrients and deliver consumers a better
nutritional bargain per calorie consumed.?
Benbrook says the USDA has a tacit policy to avoid discussions of
differences in food quality and safety that may be a function of how
food is grown and processed.
............So, it seems to us that the government should be doing more
to monitor the nutrient content of our food, especially organic and
pasture-based products. Currently, the USDA's National Nutrient
Database, which is widely used as the "official" source for nutrient
levels, includes more than 6,600 food products, including meat; fresh,
frozen and canned produce; and processed foods. They even include candy
bars, gumdrops, TV dinners and hundreds of fast food items in the
database. But the agency has not included a single organic item, nor any
entries for products from pasture-based meat or dairy systems. If they
use our tax dollars to report the nutrients in candy bars, isn't it time
they started including data on these healthier "alternatives," too?

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Spouses really are a pain
How's this for funny: A study by German psychologists
suggests that simply having a spouse in the same room can
actually make pain worse! I'm not even kidding here.
The study focused on patients with back pain. The suffering
subjects were divided into two groups: One whose spouses
doted on them with massages, medicine, and other attention,
and another group in which spouses downplayed their mates'
condition, distracted them with other activities or even
left the room.
Guess which group fared worse in the pain department?
That's right - the pampered patients reported the worst
discomfort, and their pain-related brain waves were three
times higher than their counterparts who were left alone.
From this data, the researchers concluded that the typical
conduct - and even the mere presence - of a spouse actually
stimulates physical pain.
Now, before you think I'm advocating this approach, let's
consider the reality of the situation.
Trust me on this one (especially you men): No matter what
these psychologists say, don't ignore your spouse's pain -
or you'll be the one who's hurting. (I can just see the
letters in my inbox now: "Doc, I ignored her so she'd get
better - and she did! But did she thank me? No, she whacked
me upside the head with the rolling pin!")
Given plenty of TLC, the pain will go away, but your
marriage won't.

CARROTS
Orange long veggie with greens at the top! Easy to pack and perfect with
that favorite dip, the crunchy texture and sweet taste of carrots is
popular among both adults and children. Shipped around the country from
California throughout the year.
The carrot has a thick, fleshy, deeply colored root, which grows
underground, and feathery green leaves that emerge above ground. It is
known scientifically as Daucus carota, a name that can be traced back to
ancient Roman writings of the 3rd century. Carrots belong to the
Umbelliferae family along with parsnips, fennel caraway, cumin and dill
which all have the umbrella-like flower clusters that characterize this
family of plants.
The carrot is an herbaceous plant containing about 87% water. The power
and goodness of carrots have many important vitamins and minerals. They
are rich in antioxidants Beta Carotene, Alpha Carotene, Phytochemicals
and Glutathione, Calcium and Potassium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and
E, which are also considered antioxidants, protecting as well as
nourishing the skin. They contain a form of calcium easily absorbed by
the body. Finally they also contain Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese,
Phosphorous and Sulphur, a real wonder drug!!
Also contain, in small amounts, essential oils, carbohydrates and
nitrogenous composites. They are well-known for their sweetening,
antianemic, healing, diuretic, remineralizing and sedative properties.
In order to assimilate the greatest quantity of the nutrients present in
carrots, it is important to chew them well.
Carrots are nutritional heroes; they store a goldmine of nutrients. No
other vegetable or fruit contains as much carotene as carrots, which the
body converts to vitamin A. This is a truly versatile vegetable and
contains an extraordinary pectin fiber that has been found to have
cholesterol-lowering properties.
Clearly a raw carrot has more goodness in it when it is raw and
therefore you would assume it is the healthiest way to eat it. But
unless the carrot is juiced then consumed, the body cannot break down
the goodness because of the cellular nature of the carrot.
So in reality, unlike most other vegetables (not all), carrots are more
nutritious when eaten cooked than eaten raw (except when juiced raw).
Because raw carrots have tough cellular walls, the body is able to
convert less than 25 per cent of their beta carotene into vitamin A.
Cooking, however, partially dissolves cellulose-thickened cell walls,
freeing up nutrients by breaking down the cell membranes. So long as the
cooked carrots are served as part of a meal that provides some fat the
body can absorb more than half of the carotene. Carrots are usually cut
into pieces and eaten after boiling or steaming, but done in this way,
half the proteins and soluble carbohydrates will be lost, so it is more
advisable to cook them whole and then cut up.
Experiments show that eating lightly-cooked carrots is much more
beneficial than eating raw carrots, which confirms the ancient wisdom in
traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners
have always recommended that their patients eat lightly-cooked carrots
in order to get the best nutritional absorption. Recent research by Dr.
Xiangdong Wang at Tufts University shows that beta carotene can change
in the human body into a substance called retinoic acid, which is widely
used to treat cancers.
Often overlooked, but found in carrots, is alpha carotene. According to
an article in NCI Cancer Weekly (Nov. 13, 1989), Michiaki Murakoshi, who
leads a team of biochemists at Japan's Kyoto Prefectural University of
Medicine, contends that alpha carotene may be more powerful than beta
carotene in inhibiting processes that may lead to tumor growth.
Murakoshi indicates that neuroblastoma (cancer) cells coated with
carotenoids experience a drop in N-myc activity compared to untreated
cells. N-myc is a gene that codes for cell growth-stimulating proteins
and can contribute to cancer formation and growth. Alpha carotene was
found to be about ten times more inhibitory toward N-myc activity than
beta carotene. Murakoshi concludes that all types of carotenoids should
be studied for possible health benefits.
Carrots benefit our body by: Boosting immunity (especially among older people).
Reducing photosensitivity (beta-carotene protects the skin from sun
damage).
Improving symptoms of HIV.
Easing alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Helping to heal minor wounds and injuries.
Reducing the risk of heart disease.
Reducing the risk of high blood pressure.
Cleansing the liver, and when consumed regularly, can help the liver
excrete fats and bile.
Fighting bronchitis.
Fighting infection (vitamin A keeps cell membranes healthy, making them
stronger against disease-causing microorganisms)
Improving muscle, flesh, and skin health.
Helping fight anemia.
Reducing acne.
Improving eye health.
Have you ever seen a purple, white, yellow, or red carrot? Most people
haven't, even though such carrots have existed for hundreds of years.
You may see them in the future. Recent research at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison suggests that pigments in these colorful carrots,
which taste just like regular carrots, may help prevent heart disease
and cancer, and reduce cholesterol. Studies examining the health
benefits of fruits and vegetables are revealing the disease-preventive
powers of the pigments that give plants their distinctive colors.
Orange carrots get their color from beta carotene, a pigment the body
converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency, although rare in the United
States, poses a major public health problem in developing countries
second only to protein malnutrition.
According to the World Health Organization, vitamin A deficiency
partially or totally blinds nearly 350,000 children from more than 75
countries every year. Roughly 60 percent of these children die within
months of going blind. However, vitamin A deficiency is preventable.
Healthful juice of our family's choice
12 large carrots
2 large apples (I usually use Fuju Apples but any will do)
1/4" piece of ginger root.

I have had a couple of people contact me in the last few days
asking if the symptoms they are exhibiting are normal when
beginning their detoxing process.
Let me tell you, that is a good sign that you needed detoxing
and here are some of the symptoms you may exhibit when beginning
a detoxing program;
- HEADACHES ? indicative of toxins from food chemicals,
pesticides, polluted environments and/or over-medication.
- SKIN RASHES ? skin care, chlorine bathing and other body
products that have absorbed below the skin's surface and is
coming out in rash form.
- CONSTIPATION ? indication that toxins have accumulated in the
lower intestinal tract and is indicative of dehydration and/or
lack of natural oils and fats. You must increase water intake,
and increase your liquid minerals by ? - 1 teaspoon a day.
- DIARRHEA ? toxins escaping via the bowels and indicative of an
imbalance of nutrients, which will require correction with
supplements or eating more raw fruits and vegetables as soon as
your detoxing fast is completed.
- FLUE-LIKE SYMPTOMS ? A symptom of just how toxic you were
and/or you have an immune system illness and detoxing is pulling
toxins from the entire body, excreting through the urine,
bowels, and blood as well as through the skin all at the same
time.
- MALAISE - toxins exiting the body can sometimes be compared to
a short-term illness. Make sure you get plenty of rest. Be
patient and maintain faith, while allowing your body to cleanse
and begin recovery!
Detoxing is something that every body needs to do following a
long winter of sedentary life.
People who do detoxing are usually looking for a healthier life

U.N. Says Globe Drying Up at Fast Pace
By CHRIS HAWLEY
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The world is turning to dust, with lands the size
of Rhode Island becoming desert wasteland every year and the problem
threatening to send millions of people fleeing to greener countries, the
United Nations says.
One-third of the Earth's surface is at risk, driving people into cities
and destroying agriculture in vast swaths of Africa. Thirty-one percent
of Spain is threatened, while China has lost 36,000 square miles to
desert - an area the size of Indiana - since the 1950s.
This week the United Nations marks the 10th anniversary of the
Convention to Combat Desertification, a plan aimed at stopping the
phenomenon. Despite the efforts, the trend seems to be picking up speed
- doubling its pace since the 1970s.
"It's a creeping catastrophe," said Michel Smitall, a spokesman for the
U.N. secretariat that oversees the 1994 accord. "Entire parts of the
world might become uninhabitable."
Slash-and-burn agriculture, sloppy conservation, overtaxed water
supplies and soaring populations are mostly to blame. But global warming
is taking its toll, too.
The United Nations is holding a ceremony in Bonn, Germany, on Thursday
to mark World Day to Combat Desertification, and will hold a meeting in
Brazil this month to take stock of the problem.
The warning comes as a controversial movie, "The Day After Tomorrow" is
whipping up interest in climate change, and as rivers and lakes dry up
in the American West, giving Americans a taste of what's to come
elsewhere.
The United Nations says:
- From the mid-1990s to 2000, 1,374 square miles have turned into
deserts each year - an area about the size of Rhode Island. That's up
from 840 square miles in the 1980s, and 624 square miles during the
1970s.
- By 2025, two-thirds of arable land in Africa will disappear, along
with one-third of Asia's and one-fifth of South America's.
- Some 135 million people - equivalent to the populations of France and
Germany combined - are at risk of being displaced.
Most at risk are dry regions on the edges of deserts - places like
sub-Saharan Africa or the Gobi Desert in China, where people are already
struggling to eke out a living from the land.
As populations expand, those regions have become more stressed. Trees
are cut for firewood, grasslands are overgrazed, fields are over-farmed
and lose their nutrients, water becomes scarcer and dirtier.
Technology can make the problem worse. In parts of Australia, irrigation
systems are pumping up salty water and slowly poisoning farms. In Saudi
Arabia, herdsmen can use water trucks instead of taking their animals
from oasis to oasis - but by staying in one place, the herds are getting
bigger and eating all the grass.
In Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, coastal resorts are swallowing up
water that once moistened the wilderness. Many farmers in those
countries still flood their fields instead of using more miserly "drip
irrigation," and the resulting shortages are slowly baking the life out
of the land.
The result is a patchy "rash" of dead areas, rather than an easy-to-see
expansion of existing deserts, scientists say. These areas have their
good times and bad times as the weather changes. But in general, they
are getting bigger and worse-off.
"It's not as dramatic as a flood or a big disaster like an earthquake,"
said Richard Thomas of the International Center for Agricultural
Research in the Dry Areas in Aleppo, Syria. "There are some bright spots
and hot spots. But overall, there is a trend toward increasing
degradation."
The trend is speeding up, but it has been going on for centuries,
scientists say. Fossilized pollen and seeds, along with ancient tools
like grinding stones, show that much of the Middle East, the
Mediterranean and North Africa were once green. The Sahara itself was a
savanna, and rock paintings show giraffes, elephants and cows once lived
there.
Global warming contributes to the problem, making many dry areas drier,
scientists say. In the last century, average temperatures have risen
over 1 degree Fahrenheit worldwide, according to the U.S. Global Change
Research Program.
As for the American Southwest, it is too early to tell whether its
six-year drought could turn to something more permanent. But scientists
note that reservoir levels are dropping as cities like Phoenix and Las
Vegas expand.
"In some respects you may have greener vegetation showing up in people's
yards, but you may be using water that was destined for the natural
environment," said Stuart Marsh of the University of Arizona's Office of
Arid Lands Studies. "That might have an effect on the biodiversity
surrounding that city."
The Global Change Research Program says global warming could eventually
make the Southwest wetter - but it will also cause more extreme weather,
meaning harsher droughts that could kill vegetation. Now, the Southwest
drought has become so severe that even the sagebrush is dying.
"The lack of water and the overuse of water, that is going to be a
threat to the United States," Thomas said. "In other parts of the world,
the problem is poverty that causes people to overuse the land. Most of
these ecological systems have tipping points, and once you go past them,
things go downhill."
