As we light the eleventh candle on the VegParadise Birthday Cake and embark on our twelfth year of publication, we reflect on the challenging experience of publishing a monthly internet magazine for our staff of two who function as webmasters, researchers, writers, and editors. The experience has been labor intensive but quite rewarding, though not monetarily. Even though we are listed as a dot com, we are strictly nonprofit and not a commercial site.

Chicken sold in supermarkets, restaurants and other outlets may place young women at risk of urinary tract infections (UTI), McGill researcher Amee Manges has discovered. Samples taken in the Montreal area between 2005 and 2007, in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada and the University of Guelph, provide strong new evidence that E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria originating from these food sources can cause common urinary tract infections.

Plunking down $7500 for an 18-day diabetes treatment at the Lifestyle Center of America (LCA) is out of the reach of many people, but purchasing this book and following the program outlined may be a lifestyle changer for many. For journalism professor and writer Ian Blake Newman, a visit to the center so profoundly affected his life that he joined with two physicians of LCA to create The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle.

So, we began to add olive oil to everything because if a little is "good," then a lot must be better. Why is this a problem? Because, on many levels it is misinformation. First, even if a little of something was good, that in no way correlates to a lot of that something being better. Take as an example exposure to sunlight. Getting a little bit of sun helps our skin activate Vitamin D (a vital component in many processes occurring in our bodies); getting a lot of sun gives us a sunburn; and getting a whole lot of sun can give us cancer.

There really are no miracle foods, though many food purveyors work hard to convince people their product is theeee one to repair all the health ills and provide a cure-all. The power of the few remains the steadfast mantra referring to all whole, plant-based foods consumed in smaller portions than Americans have become accustomed to consuming. Feasting is best saved for special occasions.
For the daily diet, the power of a few nuts along with comfortable and reasonable portions of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and seeds brings impressive results in a surprisingly short time.

On New Year's Day we sent out our monthly message telling 500 of our readers that we were celebrating our 12th birthday and described the new information we were adding that month. The remaining people on our email list never received our communication because we were blocked for four days. During those four days we could receive emails but could not even send out a single message. What was our newest transgression? What rule had we violated now?

Indeed the majority of folks I saw in the
hospital were suffering from entirely preventable conditions, and so
instead of just treating symptoms (and then treating the side-effects
of the drugs used to treat the symptoms), I decided that by helping to
teach entire families to eat better I could prevent the kinds of
devastating disease I was seeing every day on the wards.
