Quotes of the Day

In my own research program in the 1970s and 1980s on experimental rats, as well as in The China Study, we repeatedly established the ability of higher consumption of the milk-based protein casein to dramatically increase a growth hormone associated with increased cancer development. In contrast, high levels of a "low-quality" wheat protein had the opposite effect. Due to its "deficiency" in the amino acid lysine, the wheat protein prevented cancer development. (We know that the missing lysine was responsible for this change because when lysine was restored, cancer growth resumed to the same level as for the casein.) [2020] - T. Colin Campbell

Niacin (common name for nicotinic acid, or vitemin B3) assists in the digestion of protein and helps to open capillary circulation. It also works to reduce ascites (abdominal edema) and pain. The dosage is a 50 mg tablet six times daily, taken during meals. This medication often causes the well-known "niacin flush," a temporary reddening of the face and upper chest area, with some itching. This is totally harmless and passes quickly. (Do not switch to nonflushing niacin; it is ineffective.) Niacin should be discontinued during women's periods or in case of bleeding of any kind. [2013] - Charlotte Gerson

Red is the color that draws the eye the most. Red denotes passion, but it is also the color for danger, blood, or being "in the red" on your balance sheet. Blue says tried and true, but it also means cool and refreshing. Orange says value. Green is the color of money, but it's also the color of fresh greens from the garden. [2007] - Chet Holmes

One quality that should be looked at for both potential partners, prior to marriage, is the tendency to find fault, to attribute blame, to make the other person wrong, and to need to portray oneself as always "right." The more pessimistic a person is, the more likely they are to be obstreperous. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren

Sincere apologies make deposits; repeated apologies interpreted as insincere make withdrawals. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey
