“Resveratrol, a chemical found in red wine, has received a lot of attention because of studies that suggest it could someday help treat diabetes and other diseases.  Yet scientists aren’t sure how resveratrol imparts its benefits.  Now a study has found that resveratrol’s anti-diabetic activity may come straight from the top: the brain.  Lab mice on an all-you-can eat diet tend to develop diabetes.  But when researchers delivered resveratrol directly into the brains of mice with diet-induced diabetes, their blood glucose levels dropped regardless of diet or weight.  The findings suggest that resveratrol may work by interacting with receptors in the brain that control insulin.” Source: Endocrinology, Dec. 2009 For more information on a revolutionary resveratrol supplement click here

“Older people who eat more fiber, particularly from whole-grain sources like dark bread, brown rice, and certain breakfast cereals, have less total and belly fat than those who skimp on fiber, according to a study.  Some research has suggested that abnormal fat is a better predictor of chronic disease than body mass index, especially in older adults.  Participants (average age 68) filled out diet questionaries and were tested for body fat.  People who ate more whole grains had trimmer waistlines, on average.”  Diabetes Forecast Jan. 2010

Washington Post Staff Writer, Lyndsey Layton (1/6/10) – “Of the 84,000 chemicals used in the U.S. — from flame retardants in furniture to household cleaners– nearly 20 % are secret, according to the EPA, their names and physical properties guarded from consumers and virtually all public officials under a little known federal provision.  The policy was designed 33 years ago to protect trade secrets in a highly competitive industry.  But critics say the secrecy has grown out of control, making it impossible for regulators to control potential dangers or for consumers to know which toxic substances that might be exposed to.”  There are non-toxic household cleaners available that actually work as well as or better than leading brands.  For more information click here http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/shaklee/2010productguide_v2/index.php?startid=Cover1&lre=1:rlhanson&lnkparams=&CMP=RAC-IZ7434764357#/110
