| THE BEST MEDICINEf- LAUGH! FIRST DOSE There are always two ways to look at everything, I guess. My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion last October, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife noticed me staring and asked me, "Do you know her?". "Yes", I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since." "My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" Got a Joke? E-mail it to us: frontpage@collectivewizdom .com |
| THE BEST MEDICINE- LAUGH! SECOND DOSE Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.

What if I told you that there is a gluten-free grain which is
high in protein, high in fiber and low in calories so it helps
you lose weight? Well, there is. Meet "quinoa", the new
"superfood" that may come to rival soy as the favorite of
healthy eaters around the world.
Quinoa is a natural grain like corn and rice. It is grown in
South American primarily and has been around for over
5000 years. Quinoa is gluten free, which makes it a healthy
choice for those suffering from allergies to wheat and
Cleiac's disease.
"Quinoa is a true wonder food," says Daniel Fairbanks, Ph.D.,
a professor of plant and animal science at Brigham Young
University. "It has about twice the protein of regular cereal
grains, fewer carbohydrates, and even a dose of healthy
fats." Plus, it's considered a "complete" protein, which
means that, like meat, eggs, and dairy, it packs all of the
essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle".
Where do you find it? Edenfoods.com is one source. But
we're betting that, as the word spreads about quinoa, that
many of the chains will pick it up.
