I, too, would like to see this person smarmuily fired. To bring down NPR because of this mis-directed employee seems too reactionary to me. Perhaps hiring Juan to take her place is a good solution. Affirmative Action gone good. Practice what you preach NPR.Casey

This lady is a straight up goon. If you want to gain leg MUSCLE MASS, as in TONE your legs or get legrar leg muscles, do NOT and i repeat DO NOT do these lunges and squats(what shes doing in the video) this quick! You want to do them SLOW to make the muscles work harder. Guess what? The workout she did in the video, did NOTHIN for her.

Carolyn please letisn. First of all, cancer in a 20 yrs is 0-none. Your Breast are naturally lumpy and no matter where you touch, you will feel these lumps due to your hormones right now. From the onset of puberty well into the 20 s this happens. Of course you can get cancer in those bones, anyone can, but the way you sound so worried, it seems that you are too obsessed about Breast cancer. Don’t worry, Stop doing self exams and start again around 35-40. Wait until your Dr tells you it’s time too. And they will. Most women are diagnosed with Breast cancer during or after menopause. So you can relax. You are not in any of those categories. Anything at any age is possible, but also improbable. Hope this helps

Vivian. Thank you for your continued council and encouragement. I do feel alone in this, but your statement today that I quoted above, that we are created to maintain our health without interfering with our normal biological cycles, has given me so much hope that I did the right thing by not taking the hormones for the bone problems. I am going to try to be patient for a year, till I get my next tests to see if what I am doing with your help, works to improve my bone health.
I thank you every day, that I have a way to go. Lynn

Wouldn’t it still carry the same negative side effects as oral or cream hormones? It was suggested I take them, but the first side effect is possible blood clots and studies show that it contributes to all sorts of increased cancer threats. I do so like what Vivian said that she believes we are created to maintain our health without interfering with it’s normal biological cycles.

I had a complete hearing loss in my left ear after several months on Actonel, but… I could not know for sure if this was the cause, because that night I was making exercises with dumbells hearing music with my Ipod, the kind of exercise I made put a strain in my neck, it was for pectorals. In the week before I came deaf in my left ear I was hearing music with my Ipod and remember when I turned on I did no check the volume and it came full blown loud, and I have to immediately turned down the volume. Also the night I became deaf suddenly, I remember it happened that again. So.. I cannot blame Actonel, because I’ am not sure. It will be nice if Merck Pharmaceutical can prove that the bone capsule inside the ear does not become thicker and also the tiny ear bones that help move the sound inside the ear does not became more frigid and thicker that would in fact with that kind of evidence prove that it has an effect. Also the Fda should ask for this kind of proof.

I can’t answer for sure, but prepared mustard has a host of various, additional ingredients, depending upon it’s type. Water, vinegar, the acidic juice of almost ripe grapes, beer, wine or another liquid is added to the seed or powder to make prepared mustard. Mustard powder is very, very mild in taste & must be enzymatically activated by the introduction of fluid for it to have true mustard flavor, so in essence & in reality, it is an entirely different bird from prepared mustard. By the way, the hotter the liquid, the milder the final product & cooking removes its spiciness. That’s why homemade mustards many times pack more of punch than bottled forms which are usually heat processed. Tumeric, another spice which many herbalistics believe has many health benefits, gives bright yellow (American) mustard its distinctive color while also helping to dampen flavor. Distilled vinegar is French’s mustard’s main ingredient with water being 2nd. Spicy brown, delicatessen (Indian) mustard also has distilled vinegar as the main ingredient, but coarsely ground brown, mustard seed as the 2nd & no turmeric, hence the additional spiciness. The two are made from two different types of mustard seed & the spiciest seed is black mustard seed. Vegans, be aware that though not formally on the label, French’s spicy brown has beef&/or chicken broth added under the title ‘natural flavors.’ Honey & other sugars may be added to a mustard for sweetness which may also alter pH. Keep in mind that sugars usually make most foods acid-forming even the food is not, by nature. I think it is important to remember that pH may definitely change when the seed or powder of the mustard is properly or not properly combined with other foods or simply serves as a secondary ingredient even as it provides the primary taste. I think what may initially appear as an indiscrepancy between the 2 pages probably does actually have more to do with the form of the mustard than any error. As I always say, know your ingredients, know what’s going into your body. You can even contact a manufacturer if the terms ‘natural’ flavors or colors bothers you. MSG, meat products & many allergens lurk behind such vague titles. And, remember, if a company doesn’t want to disclose what is in in their product which consumers are supposed to simply ingest into their bodies, a person doesn’t have to & probably shouldn’t buy that product.

I had a hysterectomy on August 4, 2009 at age 41. My doctor prescribed me HRT but doing a research through internet I found HRT lead to breast cancer. I have a strong family history of breast cancer. My doctor told me if I don’t use HRT I can have bone loss because my body is not producing estrogens. What can I do to maintain my bones strong and healthy without using HRT? Thanks!!

Hi, I am 45 yrs old. I am having problem with my knees. They become very stiff & I am not able to walk for about 4-5 minutes when I sit down for sometime. Is there anything I can avoid or do to solve this problem? I have not got menopause & my periods are normal.
