June 9, 2008

Dear Vegan and Living Foods Friends,

 

I normally wouldn't ask for a birthday present, but I turned 30 today.  The Big

3-0.  I don't know if I feel more grown up, but I do know that OrganicAthlete

has grown up.  Have you seen our new website?  To celebrate, I'm asking everyone

to make a donation of $30 to OrganicAthlete.

 

In honor of OA's online presence, OrganicAthlete sponsor Blossoming Lotus is

offering a free copy of the 7 Minute Chef: Simple Tools for Lifetime of Health

to the first 20 new members who join.  So what are you waiting for?  Join

OrganicAthlete today!

 

Click here to make your $30 donation. 

 

Have a fruitful day,

Bradley Saul

President

Low-Fiber = Fat Kids

When evaluating the eating patterns of kids, it doesn¢t take an astrophysicist

to know that lots of cookies, cake, butter, chips and crackers will cause them

to gain body fat. New research confirms this. Kids that eat low-fiber, high-fat

foods will be fatter than kids eating beans, veggies, fruits and whole grains.

Am J Clin Nutr 2008;87:846-854.

Dark Chocolate & Mood

Dark chocolate was compared with an artificially sweetened cocoa beverage to

assess for any influence on mood and behavior. Well, nothing was noticed, except

for a slightly higher pulse rate after eating the dark chocolate.

Am J Clin Nutr 2008;87:872-880.

Alcohol & Waist Size

When I think of alcohol and beer, I think of gaining body fat. But what does a

new study say? Well, researchers found that drinking frequency was inversely

associated with changesin waist circumference in women and was unassociated with

changesin waist circumference in men. Looks like I¢m wrong this time.

Am J Clin Nutr 2008;87:957-963.

Eggs = Early Death?

This study wanted to establish associations between egg consumption and

cardiovascular disease/death. The researchers found that infrequent egg

consumption (less than one per day) does not seem to influencethe risk of

cardiovascular disease. However, more egg eating each day was positively related

to death, even more so in people with diabetes.

Am J Clin Nutr 2008;87:964-969.
