Okay, who sped up the clocks ..how did we get this far into the summer?
As we close in on the July 4th holiday -and you're probably getting the 'I'm out of the office until July 5-6-7" response from at least half the people you email ... just a moment to review holiday safety -
1- leave the fireworks to the pros- they're not safe in the hands of novices and besides, they're illegal
2- keep the cold stuff cold and when it doubt - throw it out - no eating sandwiches that have been out all day just to avoid waste
3-sunscreen - lots of it and reapply every couple of hours and after you swim. Waterproof - not really
4-alcohol and any motorized equipment doesn't mix
5-if you think thunderstorms are bearing down, get out of the water and away from electrical equipment
6-laugh early, laugh often and have a great holiday weekend!!
I'll be back on line with you late next week -check benita's health for the latest in health news 24/7

What makes us fat
There's been a lot of head scratching over what in our diets is the culprit for our growing waistlines and continued problem of heart disease. There may not be one smoking gun - and portion control has to be considered at the top of the list - but a new study points a finger at fructose.
Fructose is ubiquitous - it's found it just about everything that tastes sweet. It's cheap.
What the researchers found ( and mind you, this study hasn't been peer reviewed but it's interesting to note) is that drinking beverages sweetened with fructose - not glucose or sucrose ( other more expensive sweeteners) can set patients on the fast track to atherosclerosis.
Consumption of fructose-sweetened beverages increased by 135% from 1977 to 2001, the lead researcher says and speculates the increased consumption could in part explain the rise in the rate of metabolic syndrome. And when you add all that fructose sweetened stuff to a typical western diet the situation only worsened.
The research was presented at the American Diabetes Association meeting that just took place.
