Quotes of the Day

Using the lowest possible heat for cooking vegetables. High heat-stream is hotter than boiling water-changes the colloidal structure of the nutrients, particularly the proteins but also the minerals, and makes them hard to absorb and assimilate. This method does not "cook the life out of the food." The only nutrients that are damaged are the enzymes, which dies in temperatures above 140° F (60° C). [2013] - Charlotte Gerson

A strong word-of-mouth campaign is part of marketing. And so are business cards, stationery, hours of operation, and the clothes you wear. Location is also important in marketing. [1998] - Jay Conrad Levinson

Nonverbal communication is often what counts in a relationship, something that gets lost in the e-mail. [2006] - Leil Lowndes

If you have a low body weight, you're likely to have less bone tissue overall and also less padding, which is important should you have a fall. A BMI (body mass index) below 19kg/m is considered a risk factor for osteoporosis and painful fractures. [2019] - Diana Moran

Soy protein powder and isolated or concentrated soy protein-based processed foods don't promote health. Because the amino acid distribution of soy protein powders is very similar to that of animal protein and is highly concentrated, such powders can increase IGF-1 levels too much, which is not helpful in preventing or treating cancer. Eating edamame or tempeh and using dried soybeans in soups and stews are the most favorable and protective ways to utilize soy. Tofu and soymilk have the fiber of the bean removed, and though they may still have benefits, they don't have as much anticancer potential. Using the whole beans, along with other beans, lentils, and peas, offers more potential protection. [2020] - Joel Fuhrman
