SNOETY
NATURE’S PATH FLAX PLUS MULTIBRAN cereal.
Eat it every day“ even when you travel“ and you’ll understand.
I eat it by the handful without milk. You should eat it anyway you like.
You’ll be slimmer and better for it.
(And no, stupidly, we don’t get paid to hype this stuff.)
I’ve been off, out and about, so Snoety-ites what better way to start a new year then with a beautiful thought from a friend — that would be for Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment and Jewish new year number 5770, beginning Friday sunset, September 18, 2009.
With great gratitude for sharing the year’s struggles and little triumphs, my friend Susan Fine wrote …
Just read Wendell Berry’s “Manifesto”
Expect the end of the world.
Laugh,
Laughter is immeasurable.
Be joyful
Though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap for power,
please women more than men, …
As soon as the generals and politicos can practice the motions of your mind,
lose it,
Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail,
the way you didn’t go.
Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction,
Practice resurrection.
Many thanks for good friends. And much love and happy new beginnings for 5770,

It seems we have more control over breast cancer than we thought. And it’s not so difficult to make the effort.
In the largest review of lifestyle and cancer ever conducted, The American Institute for Cancer Research reports that women can reduce their risk of breast cancer if they “watch their weight, exercise daily, breast-feed their babies, and limit alcoholic beverages”. This is an update of a report the Institute issued in 2007 which was made up of 800 studies — this one adds information from 81 new studies.
Here’s an overview of what you need to do to reduce your breast cancer risk:
Here’s a link to what you can do to reduce your risk of cancer overall.
Not examined in this study were post menopausal hormone therapy and oral contraceptives.
According to The New York Times,* where we picked up on this study: “The recommendations are based on observational studies that have found associations between the behaviors and a reduced risk of breast cancer, but such studies do not prove a cause-and-effect relationship
