Your order is due to the coordinator by Tuesday, May 15. Please talk about splits here.

If you like sprouts, there's a great one pound Frontier Herbs organic "Sprout Spree" salad mix which includes organic red clover seed, organic radish seed, organic alfalfa seed, organic red lentils and organic green lentils. They are great. Fresh greens all the time that you grow yourself in a jar in the window!

Some news that may interest you. The Women's Health Study has found that red and processed meats seem to be linked to breast cancer. Women who reported eating more of these products had a significantly higher risk of cancer:

The link was stronger among postmenopausal women, with red and processed meat seeming to particularly raise their risk of breast cancer. Women who ate the most red meat (2 or more ounces per day) were 56 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than the women who ate no red meat.

Another interesting article is about the risks of high temperature cooking of meats, especially for men:

Back in the late 1970s, Felton, as well as researchers in Japan, began discovering a range of carcinogens in cooked meats. Eventually, they identified 20 such compounds – known as heterocyclic amines or HCAs – and learned how the compounds form during cooking. In 2002, Felton received a five-year, $1.5 million P01 grant from the National Cancer Institute to explore the human cancer risk posed by these mutagens, employing science and technology originally developed for national security uses.

"As soon as you get over 350 degrees Fahrenheit – in the frying pan, the broiler or on the barbecue – these compounds show up," Felton said.

If you know of someone interested in joining the club and they'd like to look at a catalog, please let the coordinator know.
