Greetings,
Welcome to this weeks newsletter. This week, beef, processed meats and colon cancer; homocysteine and your health; and environmental toxins and you. Have a good week.

Does Eating Red Meat Raise the Risk of Colon Cancer?
Before you reach for that hamburger or another slice of bacon, count how many servings of red or processed meat (such as bologna, ham, and hot dogs) you've eaten in the past week. If you're a man, high consumption is 3+ ounces a day of red meat and 1 ounce five or six days per week of processed meat. If you're a woman (unluckily if you love beef), high consumption is 2+ ounces a day of red meat and 1 ounce two or three days per week of processed meat. If that amount sounds about right, read on: you may be 30-40% more likely to develop colon cancer than someone who eats very little red and processed meats.

Fat: Things You May Not Know
Fat is not just for storing calories for the next famine. Fat is actually an active tissue that sends messages and hormones to the rest of the body. It is also a place where chemicals and pesticides and other fat soluble toxins get stored. Someone even has a theory that people get fat so they have more storage places for the toxins that come into their body. It may be that healthier people get fat in response to toxins and unhealthier people just get sick if they can't dilute them out or remove them through healthy detoxification.

Have you had your homocyteine level checked lately?

Environmental toxins? Who? Me?
If you're like most people, you probably aren't doing much more than drinking bottled water. But not dealing with environmental toxins can be like neglecting to brush your teeth: if you don't do it every day, the plaque accumulates and accumulates until, eventually, you have to get your teeth drilled, or maybe pulled - only in the case of body toxins, the effects can be much more severe.
