  1. I *knew* it!! Girl Drinks Are GOOD FOR YOU!! Alcohol plus fruit equals health buzz From Reuters April 20, 2007 WASHINGTON — A fruity cocktail may count as health food, U.S. and Thai researchers said Thursday. Adding ethanol — the type of alcohol found in rum, vodka, tequila and other spirits — boosted the antioxidant nutrients in strawberries and blackberries, the researchers found. Any colored fruit might be made even more healthful with the addition of a splash of alcohol, they reported in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Dr. Korakot Chanjirakul and colleagues at Kasetsart University in Thailand and scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture stumbled upon their finding unexpectedly. They were exploring ways to help keep strawberries fresh during storage. Treating the berries with alcohol increased antioxidant capacity and free-radical scavenging activity, they found. Berries, for instance, contain compounds known as polyphenols and anthocyanins. People who eat more of those fruits and vegetables have a documented lower risk of cancer, heart disease and some neurological diseases. The study did not address whether adding a little cocktail umbrella enhanced the effects.

  14. Hey kids! On April 15th, I will be participating in the 2007 Super Cities Walk for MS. This is an annual 10K walk to raise money to assist people living with MS and for research towards finding effective treatments and, hopefully, a cure for this insidious disease. One of my best friends was diagnosed with MS a few years ago...although it is a small gesture, I participate in the walk and raise funds in her honour. Last walk, I raised over $500...I'm hoping to at least match that target..however, I'd prefer to shatter it!...That's where I need your help! A link to my personal fundraising page is attached. No amount is too small (or too big!)! (Official tax receipts will automatically be issued for any donation over $15). If you can't help, I completely understand--no explanation required, no guilt trips from me--though, if you happen upon me in a dark alley and I'm wielding a hockey stick with a maniacal look on my face, might I suggest dropping a ten-spot before running to safety? Thanks for reading! https://msors.mssociety.ca/Walk2007/Sponsor.aspx?&PID=930952&L=2
