Excess Calcium = Heart Risk.
--------------------
It was cardiologist Dr. Stephen Seely who suprised all of us with his study entitled, "Is calcium excess in western diet a
major cause of arterial disease?" when published in the International Journal of Cardiology in 1991.
Are we beginning to take notice? |

Do Your Meds Deplete Essential Nutrients?
--------------------
Do the prescriptions you take deplete your nutritional status? We have assembled a list categorizing drug types, such as antibiotics, and
the nutrients they deplete.
Nutrient depletion from meds is an issue we always try to emphasize during consultations because it is rarely discussed by physicians. |

UAS Labs DDS-100 Meets Label Claim.
--------------------
If you recall in February, we temporarily suspended the sale of UAS Labs DDS-100 Acidophilus w/FOS because a lab assay showed it did not
meet label

June Announcements.
--------------------
-Cargill, Coca-Cola to put STEVIA in its products. Please read
our comments about this absolutely delightful development.-Dairy Council to curtail Milk Weight Loss Campaign. -Dietary Supplement GMP's Finalized: According Senator Orrin Hatch's office, the FDA has finalized Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines specific to supplements. GMPs are the standards inspectors will use to assure purity, potency, and all other requirements of clean, legal manufacturing. The guidelines are supposed to be published within the next two months. Note: in the absence of these GMPs, the manufacturers that Nutritional Concepts use have adhered to the current guidelines set for pharmaceuticals. -Now that summer is upon us, we wanted to share with you our thoughts on sunscreen. Many sunscreens contain harsh chemicals that are thought to exhibit estrogenic effects. The two active, chemical-free ingredients we suggest are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Make sure to read the ingredient labels. Some "herbal" or "natural" sunscreens are loaded with ingredients such as chamomile that can create allergic symptoms. -A recent report published by the Council for Responsible Nutrition has discovered that there is a big gap between 'total life expectancy' and 'healthy life expectancy.' With the elderly to make up 20 percent of the global population by 2050, nutritionists and policy-makers must put an emphasis on healthy aging. Otherwise, increases in healthcare expenditure will outpace economic growth in most countries, especially the United States. Please refer to Bonnie's 2006 piece entitled, Aging Gracefully and the Importance of Geriatric Nutrition.

While School is Away, the Kids Will...EAT?
--------------------
Yes, you heard it correct. Recent research has shown that during summer vacation, kids are more likely to gain weight and eat
less healthy. Here are a three reminders to help:-Keep them away from the television! Sedentary couch potatoes breed laziness and too many trips to the kitchen. -Remove junk food from the house. If your kid wants to graze all day, at least let them graze on healthy snacks. -Keep them outside and active!
