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
============================
Cholesterol And The French Paradox, The Swiss Paradox,
The Russian Paradox, The Lithuanian Paradox...Etc...
By Red Flags Columnist, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick
( email - malcolm@llp.org.uk
)
I was going to write about something else, but I couldn't resist
bringing the latest results from the MONICA study to your attention (MONItor
trends in CArdiovascular disease). This study has been going on for ages
now. It was set up by the WHO - not the rock band - to look at heart
disease rates and risk factors in twenty six countries across the world.
MONICA is a fantastic study by the way. It creates huge volumes of data
which can be relied upon to be accurate and objective. Three cheers for
the WHO for having the foresight to put this study in place. Talkin´
bout my generation.
For years the MONICA study can remain silent then, every so often, it
bestirs itself and out plops a golden egg. The latest golden egg comes
from their review of high cholesterol levels in countries ranging from
China to Northern Ireland.
They decided to find out what percentage of the male population in
nineteen of the MONICA countries (don't ask me why they chose nineteen),
had a cholesterol level greater than 6.5mmol/l ( 260mg/dl.). This is a
fairly good indicator of the average cholesterol level in a country.
The figures ranged from a prevalence of about 2% in China, to 51% in
Switzerland. In short, MONICA revealed a twenty five fold difference in
the prevalence of high cholesterol between countries, which was the
somewhat unimaginative headline attached to the study. ?Prevalence of
high cholesterol varies 25-fold.? Actually, it varies 25.5 fold.
However, what I found far more interesting than this bald statistic was
the fact that there appeared to be absolutely no relationship between
the percentage of men with high cholesterol levels, and the rate of
heart disease in those countries (with the possible exception of China).
A fact that appears to have passed without comment. Least said soonest
mended?
For example, the rate of CHD in Russia is enormously high, yet the
prevalence of high cholesterol levels in Russia was third lowest. On the
other hand the rate of CHD in France is very low, yet the prevalence of
high cholesterol levels in France was in the top half of the table.
In order to confirm my suspicions about the lack of association I made a
rapid search of my archives in order to establish CHD rates in the
nineteen countries chosen by MONICA. Then I matched them to the
percentage of men in each country with high cholesterol levels.
I used the latest full year where data is available for CHD rates in
each of the nineteen countries (1990) - unfortunately, one of the
countries was Yugoslavia, which doesn't exist any more, then plotted
this against hypercholesterolaemia rates, from MONICA, five years later
(not perfect but then cholesterol levels haven't changed that much over
five years). This resulted in the graph you can see below.
=======================
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Stop Gallstones and Keep Your Gall Bladder
The seminal Nurses Health Study determined that
eating 5 ounces of nuts per week could result in a 25 percent decrease
in your risk of gallstones. This declaration came after following over
80,000 women for about 20 years -- so it's no fly-by-night conclusion.
Nuts are a complex plant food that offer several stone-fighting
benefits. Most notably, they are high in dietary fiber and phytoesterols,
both of which protect against cholesterol gallstone formation.
Of course, nuts have always gotten a bad rap for being high in fat and
calories. Keep in mind, though, that the fat content of nuts does not
even compare with that of other snacks, such as chips and cookies. The
fat in nuts is monounsaturated fat, and has been shown to actually lower
cholesterol and be healthy for you.
It's important to be mindful that there are plenty of factors that can
add up to gallstones. But adding this simple ingredient to your diet
might offer some extra help in keeping your gallbladder free and clear
of stones -- and keeping it where it belongs: in your body!

A Testimonial From The Man Who Killed a Mad Cow
A Washington state farmer recently posted a letter on his Web site
alleging he killed a cow tainted with spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) --
better known as mad cow disease. What follows is an interesting
first-person account of his attempts to make those facts known to the
USDA along with a general warning about lax governmental regulation
getting in the way of public health.
According to his letter, the governmental machinery currently in place
to prevent diseases like mad cow from spreading slowed the discovery
process to a crawl.
For example, once the farmer extracted a brain sample from the cow, it
took two weeks to receive results from a USDA lab in Ames, Iowa. In the
meantime, however, it took just one day to bring that meat to market.
Did you get it in your store? Who knows?

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
And You Thought It Was Just a Flower!
It isn't just a flower and hasn't been for centuries but lost it's
health allure sometime in the past!
I thought it would be unique to present you with a food that you've more
than likely never eaten or even referred to as food. There are a minute
number of people who even recognize this as a food! "A rose by any other
name is a rose." That is precisely what this food is, a Rose!
Roses are members of the apple family, and like their relative, they
produce a fruit. The fruit portion of the rose is called the rose hip, a
big seed pod that form on rose canes after it blossoms. Some roses,
especially Rugosa roses, form rose hips that are the size of a quarter!
Wild Roses are found in various places from forests to canyons, logged
wastelands and thickets. There are nine species of Roses, all of which
have edible fruits and flowers, though they are not necessarily tasty.
Then there are a multitude of roses found at your local neighborhood
nursery. There isn't a lacking of roses as it is a most popular flower!
But what about eating it?
Rose hips is the apple of the rose and also a great food! Of course rose
petals make a great looking healthy addition to salads!
Rose Hips, The Healer
Rosehips were found within a body of an English woman buried almost 2000
years ago. Seems the English have enjoyed roses and rosehips since the
beginning of recorded history.
Rosehips have saved many generations from scurvy due to its high Vitamin
C content. Many fine foods have been created using these rose hips.
Probably the most popular being rose hip vinegar but jelly and syrups
are healthy, unique and found in unique stores and homes.
Rose Hips contain more vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, and iron than
oranges, and sixty times more vitamin C than lemons. Rosehips
also contain a high amount of carotenoids and catchins, isoquercitrin
all from the polyphenol family. These natural occurring chemicals
have great antioxidant activities. Polyphenols also enhance the immune
system, assists in weight loss, lowers cholesterol, and beats up cancer
cells and free radicals that disease the body. Rosehips also contain
maltic acid. Women suffering from Fibromyalgia are almost always found
to be deficient in maltic acid. Herbalist at the turn of century
suggested we all drink a cup of rosehip tea daily. There seems to be
something to that rosy advice.
Rose Hips is used by many to treat infections of the bladder and kidney,
diarrhea, skin problems, colds and flu, sore throat, fatigue,
inflammation, stress, and nervousness. It has also been used to treat
arteriosclerosis, circulatory insufficiencies, contagious disease, and
PMS.
More cosmetic companies are adding rosehip seed oil to their lotions and
facial products. Rose hip seed oil helps to regenerate the skin cells
due to its high content of essential unsaturated fatty acids, oleic
(15-20%), linoleic (44-50%) and linolenic (30-35%). Our body cannot
reproduce these fatty acids, so it has to come from an outside source
and very few foods contain sufficient quantities to help us. Rosehip oil
helps to fade age spots and reduce the signs of aging. It also helps to
reduce scars as well as scars caused by acne.
Here is a really neat tasty Rose Hips recipe that I haven't tried yet
but may have by the time you read this as I intend to make them soon!
Peachy Rosehips Muffins
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup fresh or frozen peaches (or canned)
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup dried seedless rosehips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease twelve 2 3/4" muffin pan cups, or
line them with paper baking cups. In large mixing bowl, combine first
six ingredients. In another bowl, mash peaches with fork, add rosehips
to the mashed peaches, let sit about 10 minutes, then stir in remaining
ingredients. Add peach mixture to flour mixture and stir just until
ingredients are moistened. Spoon the batter into muffin cups. Bake 15 to
18 minutes or until tops are golden.
Taken in the recommended doses, Rose Hips is generally safe; however,
taking vitamin C in high doses can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. If
you have kidney stones, consult your physician before using Rose Hips.
Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with
severe liver or kidney disease is not known.
Enjoy your unique food! Lena

A Doctor Puts the Drug Industry Under a
Microscope
By CLAUDIA DREIFUS
WASHINGTON - In many ways, Dr. Marcia Angell is an unlikely
muckraker. A pathologist by training, she is the former editor
in chief of The New England Journal of Medicine. She is also a
senior lecturer at Harvard Medical School.
But just days short of her 65th birthday and her first Social
Security check, Dr. Angell is taking on the American
pharmaceutical industry with a new book, "The Truth About the
Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It"
(Random House)."I don't worry about labels," Dr. Angell
said in an interview at the Hotel Monaco, where she stopped
during a book tour.
In a 1996 book, she noted, she argued "that there wasn't a
shred of evidence that the breast implants were causing all the
disease they were said to."
"I was said to be a tool of the pharmaceutical and device
companies," Dr. Angell recalled. "I call them as I see
them."
Q. The first phase - the discount card
phase - of the new Medicare drug benefit is about to go into
effect. Do you, as a newly minted senior, believe it will make
prescription drugs more affordable?
A. It's not going to have a major effect. These
discounts are very small, maybe 10 to 15 percent. At the rate of
inflation of drug prices, they'll be overtaken in a very short
time.
Now, the main Medicare drug benefit that goes into effect in
2006 is designed to funnel billions of dollars to the
pharmaceutical industry. It's an absolute bonanza for it. The
pharmaceutical industry's lobbyists made certain that the
legislation contained a provision barring Medicare from
negotiating drug prices.
Q. Why produce an investigative book on the
pharmaceutical industry?
DURING the month of August so far, at least six children in the United
States have died of hyperthermia after being shut up in a car on a warm
day.
Mark Pelletier, a master electrician and a technician for a Coca-Cola
bottling plant in Minnesota, has invented a car alarm that he thinks
could save some of the dozens of children who die this way each year.
"It's a horrible death," Mr. Pelletier said. "They wouldn't let a
criminal who has committed a heinous crime die in this way."
Small children, because of their size, are especially susceptible to
dehydration and heat stroke, said George Askew, a pediatrician and the
executive director of Docs for Tots, an advocacy organization in
Washington. A child can heat up as much as five times faster than an
adult. Heat stroke can occur when the body's internal temperature rises
above 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
And the temperature in a closed car rises rapidly. According to a Web
site on hyperthermia fatalities maintained by a professor at San
Francisco State University (ggweather.com/heat/hyperthermia2004.htm), a
car sitting in the sun on a 76-degree day can heat up to 100 degrees
within a half-hour. "On a hot day in an unventilated car, an infant
could become dehydrated in a very short time," Dr. Askew said. Many
carbound pets also perish every year from hyperthermia.
Sometimes children have been saved by passers-by who, by chance, saw
them shut up in cars on warm days, leading some inventors to develop
alarm systems that would call attention to the dangerous situation.
One of those is Mr. Pelletier, who after watching a television news
report of a child's death several years ago, decided to focus on the
problem, approaching the automobile as he would a piece of industrial
machinery. He came up with a programmable circuit board that turns on
motion-detecting sensors when a closed-up car reaches a certain
temperature (say, 88 degrees). If motion is detected, an alarm goes off.
Mr. Pelletier says the circuit board resembles those already present in
many cars to monitor engine temperatures or control automatic dome
lights, and could be installed fairly cheaply.
Mr. Pelletier is not the only inventor focused on preventing
hyperthermia deaths in cars. "We get a lot of letters from inventors who
have devices they would like to call our attention to," said Rae Tyson,
a spokesman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York, last year
introduced in Congress a bill that would have required the secretary of
transportation to assess technologies that might reduce the incidence of
injury to children left unattended in cars. The bill is still in
committee.
In 1997, Carolyn Thornton, then a junior at duPont Manual High School in
Louisville, Ky., won a $10,000 Lemelson Foundation award for her
heat-sensitive car alarm, which she patented. Several years ago, three
NASA engineers developed a pressure-activated sensor for children's car
seats. And in 2001, General Motors received national attention when it
announced it had invented a low-energy radar system that would sound an
alarm when children were shut up in a warm car.
The technology was supposed to be available in cars this year. A G.M.
spokeswoman, however, said that the system was not yet ready for market.
No automaker offers a car outfitted with such an alarm.
What is unique about his system, Mr. Pelletier said, is that it is
designed to avert false alarms. The system turns on only when the car
reaches a certain temperature and only if all doors are shut. If the
system, which is sensitive enough to detect motion even from a sleeping
baby, does not detect any movement within about an hour, it shuts itself
off to conserve battery power.
"Remember the early car alarms?" Mr. Pelletier said. "You had so many
erroneous alarms that people just ignored them or unplugged them. I
don't want that to happen here."
Terrill Struttmann, a founder of Kidsincars.org, an advocacy
organization based in Missouri, said that "the technology is there, it's
just that the car companies haven't adopted it."
Mr. Pelletier has sent letters to members of Congress, the secretary of
transportation and the large automakers, telling them of his invention.
So far, his entreaties have been to no avail. "It's frustrating," said
Mr. Pelletier, echoing the sentiment of many an inventor struggling to
bring an invention to market. If a piece of industrial equipment were
involved in such deaths, he said, "something would be done about it."
