Greetings and thank you for subscribing! 

An apology is in order... Wednesday turned out to be one of those good days bad days type thing...
Good; spent the day with my son and grandchildren at the Grand Canyon. My son and I have decided we are going on a Colorado River Rapids run next year so I have to get in really great shape to handle the physical punishment that it will have on my then 68 year old body, but I have a year to prepare for it...
Bad; No cell phone service for miles around. On the way back when I reached an area with service access I found eight messages and tried to retrieve them, my phone wouldn't accept my access code and I tried to reset it - nope not going to happen - not a single human voice could I reach to find out why. So much for my loving my wireless company... This did not go over well in my not so comfortable condition in wet sticky clothes... as it had stormed really badly in the afternoon, causing us to leave the Canyon earlier than had planned, so we were all drenched, even though I took umbrellas. The wind was so hard it was like hurricane force winds with sheets of cold rain blowing across everything and the umbrellas were more or less useless...

That's the good and bad of it... If you have not had a return call from me from Wednesday please me call again... Again my apologies, I would not have told you to reach me there had I known there was no wireless service...

Something To Think About
===================

It's In the Bag

If you're a tea drinker and believe in its health benefits, then you need to know what the perfect brewing temperature is to yield those benefits.

According to Toxicology Letters, researchers at the Food Safety and Toxicology Center of Michigan State University in Lansing studied the question of which brewing temperature yielded the best extracts of polyphenols, the chemicals in tea that have all the health benefits.

The answer turns out to be 176 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius). Anything less won't extract the same levels of polyphenols, and anything more will damage the polyphenols with too much heat.

It's the age-old debate:

Women complain that men talk too little. Men complain that women talk too much. Interestingly, recent research shows that women's tendency to use communication to relieve stress actually may be saving their lives.

Though the facts are stunning, it is not at all surprising, given the government and Big Pharm's track record when it comes to injecting children with thimerosal. Called Deadly Immunity and investigates the government cover-up of a mercury/autism scandal...

"The federal officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss a disturbing new study that raised alarming questions about the safety of a host of common childhood vaccines administered to infants and young children. According to a CDC epidemiologist named Tom Verstraeten, who had analyzed the agency's massive database containing the medical records of 100,000 children, a mercury-based preservative in the vaccines -- thimerosal -- appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children. "I was actually stunned by what I saw," Verstraeten told those assembled at Simpsonwood, citing the staggering number of earlier studies that indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism. Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA had recommended that three additional vaccines laced with the preservative be given to extremely young infants -- in one case, within hours of birth -- the estimated number of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold, from one in every 2,500 children to one in 166 children."

Small And Powerful
 
As I pulled some little red balls and long whitish veggies out of the ground I naturally wondered why these should be desired. One of the earliest things ready to eat in our garden are these little red and small elongated whitish radishes with a  bite. I don't remember them being so hot as a child from our garden. Is it the ground here makes things hotter or what? Some are sweet though so guess not?
 
Radishes have often been considered more as decoration and garnish than a food, except by those who grow them. Radishes are roots and actually members of the cruciferous (cabbage, etc.) vegetable family and all parts are edible, including the greens. Because they vary in quality, radishes are usually classified as winter or summer plant. Small ones of bold red, pink, purple, white or red and white are usually considered summer radish by some. They may be globe-shaped or elongated, can be fiery hot or tastefully mild.
 
Most common varieties here in the U.S. are usually round, but can also be ovoid, cylindrical, or turnip-like in shape. They can be the familiar red or white, red and white mix, pink, purple, and black; but the flesh is almost always white. However, there are some stunning varieties that have produced such dramatically colored flesh as black and white stripes or red, green, purple, or fuchsia. Mustard oils are responsible for the tangy taste of radishes not the ground they grow in, or so I'm told. 
 
The most popular, in my part of the world anyway, are red globe radish or Daikon, a general term for a group of long white radishes. So this information is mostly about those two radishes...
 
The Red Globe is low in calories and an abundance of flavor and crunch. Daikon radishes are similar in nutrients to the Red Globe.
 
A good source of Vitamin A, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron and Copper, and a very good source of Vitamin C (ounce for ounce about 42% as much as an orange), Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium and Phosphorus.
 
Radishes are known to relieve indigestion and flatulence, as well as being a good expectorant. Like other cruciferous vegetables, radishes contain sulphurous compounds that have anti-cancer properties. They also contain salicyclates, compounds similar to aspirin and, therefore, should be avoided by those with aspirin sensitivities.
 
The pre-bagged radishes have a longer refrigerator life than those sold with their greens still attached as the greenery leeches nutrients from the bulb.
 
Daikon radishes are said to aid the digestive system, especially in the digestion of fatty foods. It is a common ingredient in Japanese cooking and is always grated and added to tempura dipping sauce. Young daikons can be eaten raw but the larger (more than 8 inches long) ones must be cooked. Always peel daikons. Cut up and simmered in stews and soups, daikon tastes light and refreshing rather than heavy or starchy. Daikons are often cut into paper-thin slices by talented Japanese chefs.
 
Daikon greens are delicious too. They can be washed, stacked, rolled as a scroll, and cut crosswise. This produces thin julienne strips which are traditionally salted and left standing for an hour. The moisture is squeezed out. The leaves are then chopped and stored in glass jars for up to a week in the refrigerator. The Japanese stir them into warm rice, they can also be added to soups and other recipes. Of course my sister-in-law has always cooked the greens of the little red ones as well and added garlic and a splash of lemon juice? very good!
 
Some other varieties of Radishes include:

  
 
Beauty Heart; is often sold as a red daikon, and has a striking fuchsia flesh, but can also be green or purple with crimson striping. It is grown mainly in China and treated more as a fruit like an Asian pear.
Blanche Transparent; (Transparent White) is a long, small, white radish and important only in the region where it is grown. It is similar to the winter radish in appearance and taste.
Cherry Belle; is round with crisp, white, mild flesh and can be harvested three weeks after planting.
China Rose; is bright red, with white flesh and a good flavor.
D'Avignon; is rose-colored with a white tip, crunchy, and extremely hot.
18 Day; is a fast-growing French breakfast type.
French Breakfast; is an elongated radish that sports red shoulders and a white tip. It is milder than the red globe, but just as crisp. If left too long, it becomes hot and woody.
Long Black Spanish; is dark skinned and extremely hot. Round Black Spanish is similar, but globe-shaped.
Müchen Bier; is a tasty green which can be eaten raw or stir fried.
Palatinate Giant Radish; is one of the largest varieties, but no different in taste from its smaller relatives.
Scarlet Globe; is a popular mild variety.
Short Top Forcing; is bright red and excellent for winter sowing under cover.
California Mammoth White; is larger than the White Icicles, oblong in shape, with an average length of eight inches and a slightly pungent flavor.
Chinese Misato Rose; is a round Asian radish about four inches in diameter. Cream and green colored on the outside, it has a beautiful rosy-pink interior.
Easter Egg; comes in pastel shades.
 
Since we eat them raw and fresh around our house I have no recipe, so pop them into your mouth and enjoy the health benefits?

Linking High Ozone to Increased Death Rates
By ERIC NAGOURNEY
June 21, 2005

Three teams of researchers conducting separate studies have concluded that high ozone pollution is linked to higher death rates.

The studies, which appear in the July issue of Epidemiology, "point to the urgent need to reduce public exposures to ambient ozone by all possible means," an accompanying editorial argues.

Vital Signs The studies, by researchers from Yale, Harvard and New York University, among other places, drew their conclusions based on dozens of earlier studies that tried to find a link between mortality and daily ground-level ozone levels in cities around the world.

Two of the new studies came to a very similar finding. For every 10 parts per billion the daily ozone level goes up, they said, the death rate over the next three days goes up about 0.85 percent.

One study reported finding "strong evidence of a short-term association between ozone and mortality, with larger effects for cardiovascular and respiratory mortality."

Older people were especially at risk, the researchers said.

The biggest increase in mortality was seen in the summer. And cities that had more air-conditioning had fewer health problems.

The third study also found an association, though a somewhat smaller one, between ozone levels and death rates.

Ozone, part of smog, is formed when pollutants like those given off by power plants, mix with heat and sunlight in the air.

Dr. Steven N. Goodman of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who wrote an editorial about the studies, said even though their methodology was imperfect, the consistency of their findings was striking.
