Hope you are enjoying the glory of spring. In this issue: Fruits can prevent cancer, flame retardants are poisoning children, and protecting your thyroid can keep your energy high. Have a good week.

What Fruit Prevents Cancer?
An apple a day can help keep breast cancer away according to a study in rats by food scientists at Cornell University.
"
We found that tumor incidence was reduced by 17, 39 and 44 percent in rats fed the human equivalent of one, three or six apples a day, respectively, over 24 weeks," says Rui Hai Liu, Cornell Associate Professor of Food Science and lead author of the study.

Is the chemical environment effecting children?
A children's doctor sees a two year old patient who is small for his age. He is in the 10th percentile. But he is in a family of tall people. Just the runt of the litter? Perhaps. But perhaps not. He was found to be full of flame retardants at concentrations higher than measured anywhere in the world for someone who does not work with flame retardants for a living. Is there a connection? Is he unique?

Success with Healthy-Thin
Dear Healthy Thin, I have to tell you I never expected this, but I want to share my success with others about your product. The Healthy Thin really curbs my appetite. Lately I've been losing a steady 2- 3 pounds a week and feeling better and better. And my blood sugar, which was close to 300 and my doc said I had diabetes, was 97 this morning! Seven inches off my waist, too. Your product is great and I recommend wherever I go. Thanks. M.J.

Clues and Facts about being hypothyroid
At the base of your neck is a small gland about the size of a walnut with half on one side of the wind pipe and half on the other side. This gland, among other things, controls the metabolism of the body. Metabolism is the burn rate of calories. When the burn rate is too low, all the cell processes are slowed down. Everything from mental sluggishness to obesity result. If turned up too high, a virtual firestorm occurs in the body - fever, manic mood, racing heart. Of course, there is an ideal rate and the thyroid, in coordination with the pituitary gland, should keep one normal. That is unless the thyroid cannot balance things the way it should. This can occur from a number of causes. Those causes fall in three general categories.

Varicose Veins
I started BioBuilde due to varicose veins. My legs ached and were very warm to the touch. After 3 days on BioBuile my veins were no longer warm and the aching was gone. This really puts a hold on the surgery they wanted to do. I have never had so much relief in my legs as I do with BioBuilde. An added bonus was energy that I didn't have before. Thank you, - T.G.
