Dihydro-Vitamin K1

Step right up ladies and gents; I have a new miracle vitamin for you. Totally unknown to our ignorant pre-industrial ancestors, it's called dihydro-vitamin K1. It's formed during the oil hydrogenation process, so the richest sources are hydrogenated fats like margarine, shortening and commercial deep fry oil. Some of its benefits may include:

• Inhibiting vitamin K2 metabolism
• Reducing bone mineral density
  
• Causing organ damage and inhibiting platelet formation in animal models
• Dramatically increasing the death rate of spontaneously hypertensive rats

Dihydro-vitamin K1 accounts for roughly 30% of the vitamin K intake of American children, and a substantial portion of adult intake as well. Over 99 percent of Americans have it in their diet. Research on dihydro-vitamin K1 is in its infancy at this point, so no one has a very solid idea of its effects on the body beyond some preliminary and disturbing suggestions from animal experiments and brief human trials.

This could be another mechanism by which industrially processed vegetable oils degrade health. It's also another example of why it's not a good idea to chemically alter food. We don't understand food, or our bodies, well enough to know the long-term consequences of foods that have been recently introduced to the human diet. I believe these foods should be avoided on principle.

Tell them this is what you want for Mother's Day

It's almost Mother's Day again. Every year I rack my brain thinking of just the perfect gift to give my Mom - and I know husband and kids do the same for me. It has to be
something simple but meaningful, something non-extravagant but something she will really cherish. It's tough to come up with a winner year after year.

It's much easier for me to figure out what I would like to receive on Mother's Day. How about you? If your kids, your husband or another loved one asked you what you would like for Mother's Day, what would you say?

I've got a suggestion. Tell them you'd like:

* A little free time to enjoy life and family
* A little more help running the household
* A little more family togetherness

There is a gift that can give you all this - membership in Dine Without Whine. As a Dine Without Whine member, you will get weekly meal plans, recipes and grocery lists. This will give you AT LEAST one free hour every week (no more poring through your cookbooks to do meal planning). And with meals all planned out, you're more likely to eat at home, together.

So if anybody asks, tell them Dine Without Whine is what you want for Mother's Day.
