?"



I. LATEST UPDATES IN HUMAN NUTRITION
-----------------------------------------------------------

A. Bowel Movement Frequency

With a title  like "Nutrition and Lifestyle in Relation to Bowel 
Movement Frequency," I knew it just had to be good.[1] In the biggest 
study of it's kind ever, British researchers compared the reported 
bowel habits of about 15,000 meateaters to 5000 vegetarians and about 
1000 vegans.

The study was peppered with memorable quotes like "That non 
meat-eaters have a higher frequency of defecation is well documented" 
and "Our finding of a very clear trend towards an increasing number 
of bowel movements with a more rigorous degree of vegetarianism could 
be a field for further investigation."

Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint in the 
United States, leading to millions of doctor visits every year. 
Constipation can increase one's risk for a hiatal hernia, varicose 
veins, hemorrhoids, and painful conditions with names like "anal 
fissure."

The researchers conclude "Being vegetarian and especially vegan is 
strongly associated with a
higher frequency of bowel movements." Vegans, for example, were three 
times more likely to have daily BMs.

It's like we've always said: vegans are just regular people :)

-----------------------------------------------------------


B. Raw Vegetables More Protective than Cooked?

Eating lots of vegetables every day is one of the most powerful 
things anyone can do to prevent a wide variety of diseases, including 
cancer. Researchers have been puzzled, though, why the protective 
effect for breast cancer has not been as strong or consistent as for 
some of the other cancers. Researchers in Germany may have just found 
a clue to the mystery.[2]

The researchers looked at the past diets of hundreds of breast cancer 
victims and healthy controls, and like many studies before them, they 
found a modest trend towards decreased risk of breast cancer 
development in people with the highest daily vegetable consumption. 
But when they broke up intake categories into raw vegetables versus 
cooked vegetables, they were surprised to find that women who ate 
just a single small salad a day seemed to cut their risk of 
developing breast cancer in half (compared to those who like only ate 
a salad every couple days) while the women eating the most cooked 
veggies didn't seem to have any protection from developing breast 
cancer at all.

Cooking reduces the availability of some of the carotenoids in 
vegetables like lutein, zeaxanthin, and B-cryptoxanthin, but cooking 
also actually increases the bioavailability of other carotenoids like 
lycopene, alpha carotene and beta carotene. So I encourage people to 
eat a variety of cooked and raw foods. Although this study did show 
that raw vegetables seemed to have a distinct advantage, for example, 
it also showed that women who ate cooked whole grain products like 
whole wheat bread and brown rice also seemed significantly protected 
from developing breast cancer.

The mechanism by which vegetables decrease cancer risk is unknown, 
but evidence suggests that it's immune related. Our immune system has 
special cells called natural killer cells, whose mission in life is 
to just go around killing cancer cells. Their job is to rove around 
the body on seek and destroy missions trying to remove any budding 
tumors anywhere in our body. Our mission (if we choose to accept it) 
is to boost their cancer-fighting abilities. That's where vegetables 
come in. A recent study, for example, found that those drinking 
vegetable juice (carrot or tomato) every day significantly increased 
the cancer fighting ability of their immune system.[3]

It's time for all of us to get back to our salad days of youth.

-----------------------------------------------------------


C. Eggs and Colorectal Cancer Mortality

In the largest study of it's kind ever, researchers compared egg 
consumption across 34 countries over a three decade time span to 
colon and rectal cancer death rates. They found egg consumption on a 
population level was significantly associated with mortality in men 
and women in countries across the world. Yes, but perhaps that's 
because egg eaters were also more likely to eat meat, or to smoke, or 
less likely to eat vegetables. Even after controlling for almost all 
established and potential risk factors for these two cancers, the 
relationship remained. On a population level, the more eggs that were 
eaten, the more deaths there was from rectal and colon cancer.

Just because something is related on a population level, however, 
does not necessarily mean cause and effect. For example, just because 
the total egg sales in one country is higher than in another country, 
that doesn't necessarily mean that people are actually eating more 
eggs in the first country. Maybe one country feeds more of their eggs 
to farmed or companion animals. Maybe one country cooks or stores 
eggs differently such that more is wasted or thrown away or spoils in 
one country than another. What population comparison studies can do, 
however, is to stimulate more research. As the researchers concluded, 
if more studies do continue to show this relationship between egg 
consumption and cancer mortality, urging people to eat less eggs "may 
provide an easy and practical intervention measure to reduce the 
tremendous public health burden of colon and rectal cancers."[4]

-----------------------------------------------------------


D. Green Tea May Protect from Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of male cancer death in 
Western countries, but countries like China have 60 times lower 
prostate cancer rates than the United States. This month,[5] 
Australian researchers published evidence that some of that 
protection may be because of green tea consumption (without milk). 
They found that the men drinking the most green tea seemed to have up 
to 90% less risk of developing prostate cancer.

As always, vegetarians should try to limit their green or black tea 
consumption during meals, as tea can interfere with the absorption of 
iron from plant foods. It doesn't interfere with the absorption of 
iron from blood, so those who eat blood--meateaters--can drink tea 
anytime.

-----------------------------------------------------------


E. Girls, Fruits & Veggies and Skeletal Development

We've known that adults can protect their bones eating fruits and 
vegetables, but it's never been studied in children... until now. 
University of Tennessee researchers just published a study which 
found that girls (aged 8-13) who ate more fruits and veggies seemed 
to have significantly increased bone mass compared to girls who ate 
less even after controlling for many other factors. The size of their 
skeletons was significantly increased.

Although this study was relatively small (limited to 56 subjects) and 
only looked at affluent white girls, hopefully this will be the first 
of many studies on maximizing peak bone mass in adolescent women. The 
researchers suspect that the reason fruits and vegetables were so 
protective is because most plant foods tend to decrease the calcium 
loss in the urine that is triggered in part by the consumption of 
meat.[6]

-----------------------------------------------------------


=46. Eat the peel? Antioxidant Power of Peels and Seeds

More and more diseases--Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease--are being 
linked to what's called "oxidant stress" in the body, which is the 
tissue damage wreaked by free radicals in our diet and environment. 
To prevent these diseases we rely on the superheroes and heroines of 
the body, the antioxidants found predominantly in whole plant foods 
like fruits. Most studies measuring the antioxidant power in fruits, 
though, has only studied the pulp of the fruit. In the most 
comprehensive study of it's kind ever published, a recent study out 
of China measured the antioxidant power of the pulp, peel and seed 
fractions of 28 different fruits,.[7]

Researchers found that with a few exceptions, the peel and seeds of 
fruit has more antioxidants than the pulp. So for example, the peel 
of kiwi fruits, for example, has about three times the antioxidants 
than the inside of the fruit and the peel of fruits like pomegranates 
have almost 30 times the antioxidant punch. Grape seeds have a 
hundred times more antioxidant power than the pulp! So grapes with 
seeds are healthier than seedless, but only of course if one actually 
chews the seeds up.

If you do choose to not to peel nutrition off your fruit, it's 
particularly important to wash them under running water and to buy 
organic.

II. BIRD FLU: Meateaters Put the Entire World at Risk

The deadliest plague in human history was the influenza pandemic of 
1918, which killed up to 50 million people around the world. Modern 
flu strains tend to spare young healthy adults, but every few decades 
a strain arises that can kill people in the prime of life. In 1918, 
more than a quarter of all Americans fell ill.[1] What started for 
millions across the globe as a runny nose and a sore throat ended 
days later with people bleeding from their ears and nostrils and into 
their lungs. The victims drowned in their own blood. Their 
corpses--tinged blue from suffocation--were "stacked like cordwood" 
outside the morgues as cities ran out of coffins.[2]

Where did this disease come from? Brilliant medical detective work, 
which included digging up corpses discovered frozen in the Alaskan 
permafrost for tissue samples, recently pieced together the genetic 
makeup of the virus. The disease came from bird flu.

The 1918 virus probably jumped species in crowded World War I army 
camps in Europe where they raised chickens for slaughter. That flu 
would go on to bury more people than the World War.[3] The army camp 
outbreaks started in 1917. It took a year before the virus had enough 
human victims to mutate inside of before it could explode upon the 
world. "That's what could happen in Asia," noted one flu expert this 
week, "It could be another year before it really gets moving."[4]

We now know that bird flu is the original cause of all of these human 
influenza "type A" viruses. Although the viruses can affect a wide 
range of animals including pigs, horses and wild birds, the initial 
source seems to be domesticated fowl such as chickens and turkeys.[5]

Over the last few decades meat and egg consumption has exploded in 
the developing world, leading to industrial-scale commercial chicken 
farming and mass animal transport, favoring the emergence and spread 
of influenza superstrains.[6] The World Animal Health Organization 
blames changes in the global poultry industry, such as shorter 
production cycles and greater animal densities, for the increased 
risk of spawning epidemics.[7] Even backyard farms in Asia have 
turned almost industrial, filling every square inch with chickens. 
"As soon as you have that many animals in one spot you are likely to 
get into trouble with disease," said Dr. Samuel Jutzi, Director of 
Animal Production and Health at the U.N. Food and Agriculture 
Organization.[8]

The World Health Organization also blames the present bird flu 
outbreak on "intensive poultry production."[9] As one infectious 
disease expert noted, "There are a whole lot of practices in animal 
husbandry that means we have got large numbers of animals all close 
together with practices to give often a very short-term gain that may 
not be sustainable in the long term, but may well have long-term 
consequences that are not known, or not thought through at the 
time."[10] The stress of intensive confinement alone on the birds' 
immune systems increases the risk that factory farms will become the 
breeding ground for the next global pandemic.[11]

According to a recent editorial in The Lancet, one of the most 
prestigious medical journals in the world, "All human diseases to 
emerge in the past 20 years have had an animal source..."[12] For 
example, hepatitis B, a disease which now kills a million people 
every year, probably appeared upon the world stage thanks to people 
eating chimpanzee meat. Ebola, the virus that causes one's organs to 
dissolve and kills up to 90% of people infected within a week, is 
thought to have originally come from people eating gorilla meat. Of 
course the disease doesn't limit itself to killing just those that 
ate the flesh of their fellow primates. Once it's jumped species it 
can spread throughout the human population.

The AIDS virus has now infected 50 million people. Where did it come 
from? The leading theory is that human beings originally got it 
through "direct exposure to animal blood and secretions as a result 
of hunting, butchering, or other activities (such as consumption of 
uncooked contaminated meat)..." (a competing theory is that the AIDS 
virus was originally spread through vaccines manufactured using 
chimpanzee kidneys).[13]

Historically, tuberculosis and measles emerged when humans started 
herding cattle in large numbers. The SARS virus spread into the human 
population because people were raising civet cats for their flesh. 
Mad Cow disease is another direct result of industrial practices, and 
now threatens the safety of the world's blood supply.[14] Animal 
agriculture has become a public health hazard for more than those 
that consume the meat.

The World Health Organization has described the speed at which this 
new outbreak of bird flu in Asia has spread as "historically 
unprecedented."[15] And the human lethality of the strain is 
ferocious--killing 70% of people it infects.[16] The 1918 strain only 
killed 2.5% of it's victims.[17]

Although fifty million chickens are dead, only a few people have 
become infected. The fear is that the bird flu will spread to a pig 
or person already infected with a human strain of influenza. Once 
this happens, a deadly gene swap can take place in which the human 
transmissibility of the human flu virus combines with the lethality 
of the bird flu virus. The World Health Organization in a conference 
today reiterated that conditions are "ripe" for the emergence of just 
such a virus that could trigger the next global pandemic.[18]

No war, no plague, no famine has ever killed so many in so short a 
time as the 1918 influenza pandemic.[19] One scientist observed in 
1918 that "civilization could have disappeared within a few more 
weeks." At that time, though, there were less than 2 billion people 
in the world and no mass international commercial air travel. 
Scientists today fear a global influenza pandemic could be many times 
worse even with modern medical advances.

According to the Lancet editorial, vaccination would not be a viable 
option due to the lethality of the strain, antiviral drugs are not 
effective enough, and, since influenza is more contagious than 
diseases like SARS, quarantine measures are unlikely to control a 
human outbreak. The editorial concludes, "In view of the mortality of 
human influenza associated with this strain, the prospect of a 
worldwide pandemic is massively frightening."[20]

Humanity's lust for flesh not only kills billions of animals every 
year directly, but threatens the health of our planet and may 
threaten our health in more ways than we know.

III. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ATKIN'S: The 2004 Veg Speaking Tour

The American Dietetic Association called the Atkins diet a "nightmare 
of a diet." Pulling in $100 million a year, the Atkins empire is 
putting people at risk for permanent physical damage to their health. 
Thankfully, we have George Eisman.

George Eisman, R.D., is one of my heroes. He is one of the world's 
foremost experts on plant-based nutrition--in fact I learn more 
listening to him than from almost any other speaker on vegetarian and 
vegan nutrition.  And he's going on a national speaking tour!

As part of Farm Sanctuary's Veg-for-Life campaign, he's now booking 
dates across country to give talks AT NO COST on the dangers of the 
Atkins diet. To reserve a spot on his 2004 Veg Speaking Tour, go to

IV. UPDATE ON MAD COW DISEASE

The top Mad Cow story last month was the discovery of a new form of 
Mad Cow disease that looks just like the sporadic form of CJD killing 
hundreds of older Americans every year.

Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 
Italian researchers named the new strain of Mad Cow disease BASE, 
bovine amyloidotic spongiform encephalopathy. Based on the CJD-like 
pattern of brain damage and molecular "fingerprint" of the strain, 
researchers are concerned that this second form may be causing the 
form of CJD so often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease in the 
United States. This builds on earlier evidence (documented in my 
latest report available for download at 
http://organicconsumers.org/madcow/Greger.pdf) that infected meat may 
also be to blame for this so-called "sporadic" form of 
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

V. PERSONAL UPDATE - Aah, My Laptop is Dying! :(

Everyone who knows me knows that ever since Vegan Outreach donated 
their laptop to me it hasn't left my side. I even seatbelt it in next 
to me on the road. Whenever something bad would happen to me on tour, 
my mantra was always "At Least My Laptop is OK." Unfortunately I can 
no longer say that.

My screen just started flickering.  I took it in and was told that 
the "inverter" is shot, and that a repair would be so expensive that 
it's not worth fixing. Right now it's OK most of the time, but then 
all the sudden goes into this like seizure inducing flicker and 
blacks out from time to time.  The repair guy said that it will just 
get worse and worse until it blacks out permanently.  Help!

My laptop is how I'm able to get all the work I do done. It turns 
hours of bus, train and plane rides into productive time.  It's how I 
stay in touch with everyone, it's how I update the Mad Cow site, 
write my books, this newsletter, etc. It's basically become my life. 
If anyone has a used laptop that they are considering getting rid of 
please consider donating it to me. If everyone could just ask around 
to people and organizations they know, I'm hoping one will pop up.

Not that beggars can be choosers, but I've only ever worked on Apple 
computers, and so my familiarity and files are all in Mac format, but 
at this point I'm getting desperate. Used or refurbished Apple 
laptops are running under $800 these days, and so if anyone wants to 
make a tax-deductible donation to help me purchase one if my search 
is unsuccessful I would be eternally grateful.

The advantage of not having a salary is that I can devote my life 
full-time to activism. The way I can do that is that I have almost no 
expenses--I don't pay rent (people put me up and feed me), have no 
health insurance (or even car insurance now), etc. The downside is 
that unexpected expenses like this come up.  Please everyone keep 
your fingers crossed for me.

On an unrelated topic, a few quick things: First of all, I'm so sorry 
for accidentally sending the February newsletter out twice. Hopefully 
that will never happen again. Also, I am currently all out of the VHS 
video copies of my nutrition DVD, but there are VHS copies still 
available from the online  Earthsave store at 
http://shopping.earthsave.org/catalog/  Finally, every month I get 
requests to reprint portions of my writings. There is no need to ask 
permission.  Please always feel free to reprint anything I write for 
any (nonprofit) purpose. The same goes for  my CDs--always feel free 
to burn them and distribute copies far and wide.

VI. MAILBAG: "You said last month to eat greens and flax seeds--yeah but how=
?"

However you want! But obviously the yummier it is the more you'll 
stuff them in your face, so I decided to consult the one and only 
Brook Katz, who's been cooking up vegan fare for 18 years (you can 
check out his latest cookbook at http://brookkatz.com/books.html). I 
called him up and said two words--greens and flax--and this is the 
recipe he was so sweet to design for us. Please try it and get back 
to me. If everyone likes it maybe I can entice Brook to give us a 
monthly recipe featuring some of the plant foods I highlight!

GREENS IN JALAPENO MUSTARD FLAX SAUCE
1/2 cup flax seed --ground to a meal (or 2/3 cup preground flax)
1 1/2 cups of water (more if needed to make a thinner sauce)
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp. your favorite mustard
1 Tbsp. tamari
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 jalapeno pepper =96 remove the seeds if you don't want it that hot!
Enough broccoli or brussel sprouts or dark leafy greens for 8 people

In a blender, combine the flax meal and water, and blend till it's 
thick and creamy. (It will almost appear to be gelatinous) Add the 
other sauce ingredients and blend well again. Steam the broccoli or 
brussel sprouts till they are tender, but not too soft. Remove them 
from the heat and pour the sauce directly over the hot vegetables. 
Serving suggestion: as a side dish with your favorite Mexican food, 
Ole=92!

<div><br></div>
<div>I. LATEST UPDATES IN HUMAN NUTRITION</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A. Bowel Movement Frequency</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>With a title&nbsp; like &quot;Nutrition and Lifestyle in Relation
to Bowel Movement Frequency,&quot; I knew it just had to be good.[1]
In the biggest study of it's kind ever, British researchers compared
the reported bowel habits of about 15,000 meateaters to 5000
vegetarians and about 1000 vegans.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The study was peppered with memorable quotes like &quot;That non
meat-eaters have a higher frequency of defecation is well documented&quot;
and &quot;Our finding of a very clear trend towards an increasing
number of bowel movements with a more rigorous degree of vegetarianism
could be a field for further investigation.&quot;</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint in the
United States, leading to millions of doctor visits every year.
Constipation can increase one's risk for a hiatal hernia, varicose
veins, hemorrhoids, and painful conditions with names like &quot;anal
fissure.&quot;</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The researchers conclude &quot;Being vegetarian and especially
vegan is strongly associated with a</div>
<div>higher frequency of bowel movements.&quot; Vegans, for example,
were three times more likely to have daily BMs.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It's like we've always said: vegans are just regular people
:)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>B. Raw Vegetables More Protective than Cooked?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Eating lots of vegetables every day is one of the most powerful
things anyone can do to prevent a wide variety of diseases, including
cancer. Researchers have been puzzled, though, why the protective
effect for breast cancer has not been as strong or consistent as for
some of the other cancers. Researchers in Germany may have just found
a clue to the mystery.[2]</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The researchers looked at the past diets of hundreds of breast
cancer victims and healthy controls, and like many studies before
them, they found a modest trend towards decreased risk of breast
cancer development in people with the highest daily vegetable
consumption. But when they broke up intake categories into raw
vegetables versus cooked vegetables, they were surprised to find that
women who ate just a single small salad a day seemed to cut their risk
of developing breast cancer in half (compared to those who like only
ate a salad every couple days) while the women eating the most cooked
veggies didn't seem to have any protection from developing breast
cancer at all.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cooking reduces the availability of some of the carotenoids in
vegetables like lutein, zeaxanthin, and B-cryptoxanthin, but cooking
also actually increases the bioavailability of other carotenoids like
lycopene, alpha carotene and beta carotene. So I encourage people to
eat a variety of cooked and raw foods. Although this study did show
that raw vegetables seemed to have a distinct advantage, for example,
it also showed that women who ate cooked whole grain products like
whole wheat bread and brown rice also seemed significantly protected
from developing breast cancer.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The mechanism by which vegetables decrease cancer risk is
unknown, but evidence suggests that it's immune related. Our immune
system has special cells called natural killer cells, whose mission in
life is to just go around killing cancer cells. Their job is to rove
around the body on seek and destroy missions trying to remove any
budding tumors anywhere in our body. Our mission (if we choose to
accept it) is to boost their cancer-fighting abilities. That's where
vegetables come in. A recent study, for example, found that those
drinking vegetable juice (carrot or tomato) every day significantly
increased the cancer fighting ability of their immune system.[3]</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It's time for all of us to get back to our salad days of
youth.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>C. Eggs and Colorectal Cancer Mortality</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In the largest study of it's kind ever, researchers compared egg
consumption across 34 countries over a three decade time span to colon
and rectal cancer death rates. They found egg consumption on a
population level was significantly associated with mortality in men
and women in countries across the world. Yes, but perhaps that's
because egg eaters were also more likely to eat meat, or to smoke, or
less likely to eat vegetables. Even after controlling for almost all
established and potential risk factors for these two cancers, the
relationship remained. On a population level, the more eggs that were
eaten, the more deaths there was from rectal and colon cancer.</div>
<div><br>
Just because something is related on a population level, however, does
not necessarily mean cause and effect. For example, just because the
total egg sales in one country is higher than in another country, that
doesn't necessarily mean that people are actually eating more eggs in
the first country. Maybe one country feeds more of their eggs to
farmed or companion animals. Maybe one country cooks or stores eggs
differently such that more is wasted or thrown away or spoils in one
country than another. What population comparison studies can do,
however, is to stimulate more research. As the researchers concluded,
if more studies do continue to show this relationship between egg
consumption and cancer mortality, urging people to eat less eggs
&quot;may provide an easy and practical intervention measure to reduce
the tremendous public health burden of colon and rectal
cancers.&quot;[4]</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>D. Green Tea May Protect from Prostate Cancer</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of male cancer death
in Western countries, but countries like China have 60 times lower
prostate cancer rates than the United States. This month,[5]
Australian researchers published evidence that some of that protection
may be because of green tea consumption (without milk). They found
that the men drinking the most green tea seemed to have up to 90% less
risk of developing prostate cancer.</div>
<div><br>
As always, vegetarians should try to limit their green or black tea
consumption during meals, as tea can interfere with the absorption of
iron from plant foods. It doesn't interfere with the absorption of
iron from blood, so those who eat blood--meateaters--can drink tea
anytime.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>E. Girls, Fruits &amp; Veggies and Skeletal Development</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We've known that adults can protect their bones eating fruits and
vegetables, but it's never been studied in children... until now.
University of Tennessee researchers just published a study which found
that girls (aged 8-13) who ate more fruits and veggies seemed to have
significantly increased bone mass compared to girls who ate less even
after controlling for many other factors. The size of their skeletons
was significantly increased.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Although this study was relatively small (limited to 56 subjects)
and only looked at affluent white girls, hopefully this will be the
first of many studies on maximizing peak bone mass in adolescent
women. The researchers suspect that the reason fruits and vegetables
were so protective is because most plant foods tend to decrease the
calcium loss in the urine that is triggered in part by the consumption
of meat.[6]</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>F. Eat the peel? Antioxidant Power of Peels and Seeds</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>More and more diseases--Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease--are
being linked to what's called &quot;oxidant stress&quot; in the body,
which is the tissue damage wreaked by free radicals in our diet and
environment. To prevent these diseases we rely on the superheroes and
heroines of the body, the antioxidants found predominantly in whole
plant foods like fruits. Most studies measuring the antioxidant power
in fruits, though, has only studied the pulp of the fruit. In the most
comprehensive study of it's kind ever published, a recent study out of
China measured the antioxidant power of the pulp, peel and seed
fractions of 28 different fruits,.[7]</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Researchers found that with a few exceptions, the peel and seeds
of fruit has more antioxidants than the pulp. So for example, the peel
of kiwi fruits, for example, has about three times the antioxidants
than the inside of the fruit and the peel of fruits like pomegranates
have almost 30 times the antioxidant punch. Grape seeds have a hundred
times more antioxidant power than the pulp! So grapes with seeds are
healthier than seedless, but only of course if one actually chews the
seeds up. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you do choose to not to peel nutrition off your fruit, it's
particularly important to wash them under running water and to buy
organic.</div>
<div><br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>II. BIRD FLU: Meateaters Put the Entire World at Risk</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The deadliest plague in human history was the influenza pandemic
of 1918, which killed up to 50 million people around the world. Modern
flu strains tend to spare young healthy adults, but every few decades
a strain arises that can kill people in the prime of life. In 1918,
more than a quarter of all Americans fell ill.[1] What started for
millions across the globe as a runny nose and a sore throat ended days
later with people bleeding from their ears and nostrils and into their
lungs. The victims drowned in their own blood. Their corpses--tinged
blue from suffocation--were &quot;stacked like cordwood&quot; outside
the morgues as cities ran out of coffins.[2]<br>
<br>
Where did this disease come from? Brilliant medical detective work,
which included digging up corpses discovered frozen in the Alaskan
permafrost for tissue samples, recently pieced together the genetic
makeup of the virus. The disease came from bird flu.<br>
<br>
The 1918 virus probably jumped species in crowded World War I army
camps in Europe where they raised chickens for slaughter. That flu
would go on to bury more people than the World War.[3] The army camp
outbreaks started in 1917. It took a year before the virus had enough
human victims to mutate inside of before it could explode upon the
world. &quot;That's what could happen in Asia,&quot; noted one flu
expert this week, &quot;It could be another year before it really gets
moving.&quot;[4]<br>
<br>
We now know that bird flu is the original cause of all of these human
influenza &quot;type A&quot; viruses. Although the viruses can affect
a wide range of animals including pigs, horses and wild birds, the
initial source seems to be domesticated fowl such as chickens and
turkeys.[5]<br>
</div>
<div>Over the last few decades meat and egg consumption has exploded
in the developing world, leading to industrial-scale commercial
chicken farming and mass animal transport, favoring the emergence and
spread of influenza superstrains.[6] The World Animal Health
Organization blames changes in the global poultry industry, such as
shorter production cycles and greater animal densities, for the
increased risk of spawning epidemics.[7] Even backyard farms in Asia
have turned almost industrial, filling every square inch with
chickens. &quot;As soon as you have that many animals in one spot you
are likely to get into trouble with disease,&quot; said Dr. Samuel
Jutzi, Director of Animal Production and Health at the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization.[8]</div>
<div><br>
The World Health Organization also blames the present bird flu
outbreak on &quot;intensive poultry production.&quot;[9] As one
infectious disease expert noted, &quot;There are a whole lot of
practices in animal husbandry that means we have got large numbers of
animals all close together with practices to give often a very
short-term gain that may not be sustainable in the long term, but may
well have long-term consequences that are not known, or not thought
through at the time.&quot;[10] The stress of intensive confinement
alone on the birds' immune systems increases the risk that factory
farms will become the breeding ground for the next global
pandemic.[11]<br>
<br>
According to a recent editorial in The Lancet, one of the most
prestigious medical journals in the world, &quot;All human diseases to
emerge in the past 20 years have had an animal source...&quot;[12] For
example, hepatitis B, a disease which now kills a million people every
year, probably appeared upon the world stage thanks to people eating
chimpanzee meat. Ebola, the virus that causes one's organs to dissolve
and kills up to 90% of people infected within a week, is thought to
have originally come from people eating gorilla meat. Of course the
disease doesn't limit itself to killing just those that ate the flesh
of their fellow primates. Once it's jumped species it can spread
throughout the human population.</div>
<div><br>
The AIDS virus has now infected 50 million people. Where did it come
from? The leading theory is that human beings originally got it
through &quot;direct exposure to animal blood and secretions as a
result of hunting, butchering, or other activities (such as
consumption of uncooked contaminated meat)...&quot; (a competing
theory is that the AIDS virus was originally spread through vaccines
manufactured using chimpanzee kidneys).[13]<br>
<br>
Historically, tuberculosis and measles emerged when humans started
herding cattle in large numbers. The SARS virus spread into the human
population because people were raising civet cats for their flesh. Mad
Cow disease is another direct result of industrial practices, and now
threatens the safety of the world's blood supply.[14] Animal
agriculture has become a public health hazard for more than those that
consume the meat.<br>
<br>
The World Health Organization has described the speed at which this
new outbreak of bird flu in Asia has spread as &quot;historically
unprecedented.&quot;[15] And the human lethality of the strain is
ferocious--killing 70% of people it infects.[16] The 1918 strain only
killed 2.5% of it's victims.[17]<br>
<br>
Although fifty million chickens are dead, only a few people have
become infected. The fear is that the bird flu will spread to a pig or
person already infected with a human strain of influenza. Once this
happens, a deadly gene swap can take place in which the human
transmissibility of the human flu virus combines with the lethality of
the bird flu virus. The World Health Organization in a conference
today reiterated that conditions are &quot;ripe&quot; for the
emergence of just such a virus that could trigger the next global
pandemic.[18]<br>
<br>
No war, no plague, no famine has ever killed so many in so short a
time as the 1918 influenza pandemic.[19] One scientist observed in
1918 that &quot;civilization could have disappeared within a few more
weeks.&quot; At that time, though, there were less than 2 billion
people in the world and no mass international commercial air travel.
Scientists today fear a global influenza pandemic could be many times
worse even with modern medical advances.<br>
<br>
According to the Lancet editorial, vaccination would not be a viable
option due to the lethality of the strain, antiviral drugs are not
effective enough, and, since influenza is more contagious than
diseases like SARS, quarantine measures are unlikely to control a
human outbreak. The editorial concludes, &quot;In view of the
mortality of human influenza associated with this strain, the prospect
of a worldwide pandemic is massively frightening.&quot;[20]<br>
<br>
Humanity's lust for flesh not only kills billions of animals every
year directly, but threatens the health of our planet and may threaten
our health in more ways than we know.<br>

<div>III. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ATKIN'S: The 2004 Veg Speaking Tour</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The American Dietetic Association called the Atkins diet a
&quot;nightmare of a diet.&quot; Pulling in $100 million a year, the
Atkins empire is putting people at risk for permanent<font
color=3D"#000000"> physical damage to their health.</font> Thankfully,
we have George Eisman.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>George Eisman, R.D., is one of my heroes. He is one of the
world's foremost experts on plant-based nutrition--in fact I learn
more listening to him than from almost any other speaker on vegetarian
and vegan nutrition.&nbsp; And he's going on a national speaking
tour!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As part of Farm Sanctuary's Veg-for-Life campaign, he's now
booking dates across country to give talks AT NO COST on the dangers
of the Atkins diet. To reserve a spot on his 2004 Veg Speaking

<div>IV. UPDATE ON MAD COW DISEASE</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The top Mad Cow story last month was the discovery of a new form
of Mad Cow disease that looks just like the sporadic form of CJD
killing hundreds of older Americans every year.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Published in the<font color=3D"#000000"> Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences</font>, Italian researchers named the new
strain of Mad Cow disease BASE,<font color=3D"#000000"> bovine
amyloidotic spongiform encephalopathy</font>. Based on the CJD-like
pattern of brain damage and molecular &quot;fingerprint&quot; of the
strain, researchers are concerned that this second form may be causing
the form of CJD so often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease in the
United States. This builds on earlier evidence (documented in my
latest report available for download at
http://organicconsumers.org/madcow/Greger.pdf) that infected meat may
also be to blame for this so-called &quot;sporadic&quot; form of
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.</div>

<div>V. PERSONAL UPDATE - Aah, My Laptop is Dying! :(</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Everyone who knows me knows that ever since Vegan Outreach
donated their laptop to me it hasn't left my side. I even seatbelt it
in next to me on the road. Whenever something bad would happen to me
on tour, my mantra was always &quot;At Least My Laptop is OK.&quot;
Unfortunately I can no longer say that.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My screen just started flickering.&nbsp; I took it in and was
told that the &quot;inverter&quot; is shot, and that a repair would be
so expensive that it's not worth fixing. Right now it's OK most of the
time, but then all the sudden goes into this like seizure inducing
flicker and blacks out from time to time.&nbsp; The repair guy said
that it will just get worse and worse until it blacks out
permanently.&nbsp; Help!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My laptop is how I'm able to get all the work I do done. It turns
hours of bus, train and plane rides into productive time.&nbsp; It's
how I stay in touch with everyone, it's how I update the Mad Cow site,
write my books, this newsletter, etc. It's basically become my life.
If anyone has a used laptop that they are considering getting rid of
please consider donating it to me. If everyone could just ask around
to people and organizations they know, I'm hoping one will pop up.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Not that beggars can be choosers, but I've only ever worked on
Apple computers, and so my familiarity and files are all in Mac
format, but at this point I'm getting desperate. Used or refurbished
Apple laptops are running under $800 these days, and so if anyone
wants to make a tax-deductible donation to help me purchase one if my
search is unsuccessful I would be eternally grateful.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The advantage of not having a salary is that I can devote my life
full-time to activism. The way I can do that is that I have almost no
expenses--I don't pay rent (people put me up and feed me), have no
health insurance (or even car insurance now), etc. The downside is
that unexpected expenses like this come up.&nbsp; Please everyone keep
your fingers crossed for me.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On an unrelated topic, a few quick things: First of all, I'm so
sorry for accidentally sending the February newsletter out twice.
Hopefully that will never happen again. Also, I am currently all out
of the VHS video copies of my nutrition DVD, but there are VHS copies
still available from the online&nbsp; Earthsave store at<font
color=3D"#000000"> http://shopping.earthsave.org/catalog/</font>&nbsp;
=46inally, every month I get requests to reprint portions of my
writings. There is no need to ask permission.&nbsp; Please always feel
free to reprint anything I write for any (nonprofit) purpose. The same
goes for&nbsp; my CDs--always feel free to burn them and distribute
copies far and wide.</div>

<div>VI. MAILBAG: &quot;You said last month to eat greens and flax
seeds--yeah but how?&quot;</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>However you want! But obviously the yummier it is the more you'll
stuff them in your face, so I decided to consult the one and only
Brook Katz, who's been cooking up vegan fare for 18 years (you can
check out his latest cookbook at http://brookkatz.com/books.html). I
called him up and said two words--greens and flax--and this is the
recipe he was so sweet to design for us. Please try it and get back to
me. If everyone likes it maybe I can entice Brook to give us a monthly
recipe featuring some of the plant foods I highlight!<br>
<br>
GREENS IN JALAPENO MUSTARD FLAX SAUCE<br>
1/2 cup flax seed --ground to a meal (or 2/3 cup preground flax)<br>
1 1/2 cups of water (more if needed to make a thinner sauce)<br>
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast<br>
1 Tbsp. your favorite mustard<br>
1 Tbsp. tamari<br>
1 tsp. garlic powder<br>
1 jalapeno pepper =96 remove the seeds if you don't want it that
hot!<br>
Enough broccoli or brussel sprouts or dark leafy greens for 8
people<br>
</div>
<div>In a blender, combine the flax meal and water, and blend till
it's thick and creamy. (It will almost appear to be gelatinous) Add
the other sauce ingredients and blend well again. Steam the broccoli
or brussel sprouts till they are tender, but not too soft. Remove them
from the heat and pour the sauce directly over the hot vegetables.
Serving suggestion: as a side dish with your favorite Mexican food,
