The Fruits of Summer

by Ed Tyanich, Produce Manager

Summer brings long, warm days with plenty of sunshine and with it the peak of some of the sweetest and juiciest fruits. Melons, stone fruits and grapes truly represent the fine flavors of summer. There few things more refreshing than chilled melon on a hot day. My great grandmother always said it wasnt the Fourth of July without watermelon, and Im sure many families have that same tradition. Nearly everyone has eaten cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon, but this summer be sure to try some of the lesserknown varieties like Galia, Crenshaw, orange flesh honeydew or Charentais. Speaking of melons and grandparents, my grandmother always put salt on cantaloupe and watermelon. At Real Food, you dont have to limit your salt options to plain salt. Andrew Jones, our herb department buyer has brought in a wonderful selection of finishing salts, many of which are delicious when paired with melon. Some of my personal favorites are Iburi Jio Cherry on cantaloupe, Tahaa Vanilla on watermelon and perhaps my favorite pairing of Fleur DeHell and watermelon. Fleur DeHell

has a rather hot afterburn that I find an amazing finish to the sweetness of watermelon. Stone fruits include apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines and cherries. My favorites of the stone fruits are pluots and donut peaches. Pluots are an apricotplum cross that is more plum than apricot. They are smooth-skinned with a higher sugar content than most fruits. Pluot varieties come and go throughout the summer season; so be sure to stop in and ask a Real Food produce person for a sample and to find out which varieties are in stock. Donut peaches are flat in shape, somewhat resembling a donut shape. Theyre very sweet and juicy and are perfect for eating out of hand. To select a donut peach, choose one that is still slightly firm. They have more of a pear texture when perfectly ripe than do their round cousins. Grapes are another summer delight, and the seedless varieties are popular with children and adults alike. We usually stock red, green and black seedless grapes. Although the red and green are better sellers, the black grapes are my handsdown favorite.

Obesity Declared a Disease The American Medical Association has declared obesity to be a disease, rather than a mere condition or disorder. This doesnt change the associated risks, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer, but it could affect insurance coverage for weight loss programs and the medical professions sense of urgency. Unfortunately, it could also mean a shift toward medical treatment and away from social and lifestyle approaches. (LATimes.com, 6/19/13) Just Walk Away A 15-minute walk after each meal has been found to be effective in reducing blood sugar levels and presumably forestalling type 2 diabetes, more so than the same exercise taken all at once at another time of day. The blood sugar spikes that come after meals are considered harmful, with large dinners followed by television or sleep the worst scenario because the high levels could last for hours. This was a small study on elderly people, but it makes sense. (sciencedaily.com, 6/12/13) Four-Minute Fitness Norwegian researchers have whittled down the time it takes to make meaningful fitness improvements to four minutes three times a week. Its definitely not a weight-losing regime, but four minutes of exercise at 90 percent of capacity has been shown to improve endurance, blood sugar levels and blood pressure as effectively as four repetitions of that effort separated by three minutes of rest. (NYTimes. com, 6/19/13) Farmed Fish Taking Over The world now eats more farmed fish than beef, and this is probably also the first year we eat more farmed fish than wild. These milestones are a reflection of both health and environmental concerns, along with the sheer fact that we may have reached the limit of natural systems to produce animal foods. Solving this problem requires rethinking how we produce these foods while reducing the demand. (Earth Policy Institute, 6/12/13) Animals Declared Conscious Some leading brain scientists have signed the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness, which states that many animals, even octopi and birds, which are genetically distant from humans, have conscious and emotional states that are fundamentally similar to those of humans. Their conclusion is based on similarities in brain structures and functions, along with behavioral evidence, such as self-recognition, and it could have implications for the treatment of animals used for food. (fcmconference.org, 7/7/12) GMOs Doomed? Genetically modified organisms, such as Monsantos herbicide-resistant soybeans and insect-killing corn, are present in most processed U.S. foods, including those sweetened with highfructose corn syrup. Biotech companies have until now successfully prevented the labeling of engineered foods in the U.S., but this past months news points to a reversal of fortune. Unapproved engineered wheat showed up in Oregon fields, prompting countries to take actions against imported U.S. wheat. Connecticut and Vermont passed the first state labeling laws. A study found higher levels of severe stomach inflammation in GMO-fed rats. Nearly 2 million people petitioned the FDA to not approve engineered salmon. Chipotle Mexican Grill became the first fast-food company to commit to labeling and eventually eliminating GMOs in its foods.

The Supreme Court recently ruled on the patenting of human genes. To my laymans understanding, the decision basically reaffirms that patents should apply to human inventions, and not to discoveries of things in nature. That may sound like a really good thing. After all, what would the world be like if Newton had gotten a patent on gravity? In this particular case it means that tests for breast cancer genes will be a lot cheaper than they would be otherwise, since without a patent fees. Its hard to argue that thats not a good thing. On the other hand, the court drew a distinction between DNA as it exists in nature, which would not be patentable, and a purified or modified form, which might be considered a patentable invention. If the naturally-occurring item cant be patented but the invention can, where does that lead us? It puts profit on the side of man-made things rather than natural things. Does this sound familiar? It should. Just as with genes, naturally-occurring items such as foods, vitamins, minerals and herbs cant be patented like drugs.

They tend to be a lot cheaper than drugs. Because theres less profit to be made, they also get less research. But because of that

Evolution is not a finished process, but Mother Nature has been at work a long time, and we are still wondering and marveling at her solutions.

there will be no monopoly and no license

not work as well or has side effects, patent it and spend a load of money advertising it, funding research on it and paying doctors to give educational seminars on it. Then of course because of the lack of research on the natural item, they can start pointing fingers at natural healers and funding lobbyists to get the laws and regulations on their side. Im painting a black-and-white picture, but it gives you an idea of why you might want to prefer real, natural things over man-made. Evolution is not a finished process, but Mother Nature has been at work a long time, and we are still wondering and marveling at her solutions.

Preventing Breast Cancer

A Review of Dr. Christine Horners Lecture
by Liz Cavin, Naturopathic Physician
As we announced last month, Dr. Christine Horner gave her Helena talk on preventing breast cancer on June 17th. A plastic surgeon who succeeded in passing a federal law to require insurance coverage of reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomies, she later chose to promote prevention for its greater impact on womens lives. The first part of her lively presentation discussed risk factors that lead to breast cancer. She started with a breakdown of a fastfood meal and pointed to the qualities of a hamburger, bun, French fries, soda and/or a milkshake. Fast-food burgers contain lots of saturated fat, a storehouse for chemicals that cows may have gotten from pesticide and herbicide residues in their food. These chemicals can act like estrogen, which causes breast cells to divide more readily. Greater cell division in breast tissue can be a risk factor for cancer. (Rapidly dividing cells are more likely to become cancerous because there is greater chance a mutation will occur when they divide, potentially causing abnormal cells to form.) Dairy cows are often given recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which increases insulin-like growth factor levels (IGF) in their milk. According to Dr. Horner the IGF is passed on to humans, where it interacts with estrogen to stimulate breast cell proliferation. Dr. Horner proceeded to discuss the impact of a fast-food meal on insulin. Produced by the pancreas, insulin carries glucose to our cells where its used for fuel. Consumption of saturated animal fat, white bread hamburger buns and soda beverages has the potential to increase the pancreass production of insulin. High insulin levels cause cells to divide quickly. Insulin also increases the blood level of estrogen that can become bound to breast tissue. When too much estrogen binds to breast cell tissue it causes cells to rapidly divide. The French fries in a fast food meal are cooked in poor-quality oil containing trans-fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids create free radicals which can damage cellular DNA. When cells divide to create new cells, DNA is crucial for proper cell replication. Damaged DNA can lead to the production of abnormal cells that become cancer cells. The soda or milkshake is problematic because of the sugar content. Sugar increases inflammation and has been shown to blunt immune cells responses for several hours after it is consumed. Stopping cancer requires active immune

cells that can identify and stop cancer cells in their tracks. I just touched the surface regarding risk factors for breast cancer that Dr. Horner discussed. I must admit this part of her lecture was a bit unnerving. Luckily Dr. Horner did give us hope by discussing many foods that have cancer protective and preventive attributes. She emphasized that even one could cut risk in half and that these protectors work together in a way that multiplies their benefits. Some key breast protective foods she discussed are omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseeds, soy, turmeric and green tea. Omega-3 fatty acids help the body make anti-inflammatory substances. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in organ meats, fish, flaxseed oil and camelina oil. Not only are omega-3 fatty acids antiinflammatory, but they help decrease the rate at which breast cells divide in response to estrogen. Dr. Horner particularly likes flaxseeds because they provide cancer protection beyond the oil expressed from the seeds. Ground flaxseeds contain high amounts of lignans, compounds that give plants their stiff structure. Dr. Horner explained that lignans help decrease levels of insulinlike growth factor, reduce the amount of estrogen produced by fat cells, decrease breast density, block estrogen receptors in breast tissue and act as anti-oxidants. She believes so strongly in the protective ability of lignans that she developed a lignancontaining product called Brevail, which is available at our store. Dr. Horner calls green tea the number-one anticancer beverage. She particularly likes green tea because it contains several protective anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory constituents. It helps support healthy function of enzymes in the liver used in its detoxification pathways. Its important to have healthy liver detoxification to protect our cells from potential carcinogenic chemicals found in non-organic foods, impure water and cigarette smoke. Of the protective foods, spices and teas that Dr. Horner discussed turmeric took front seat along with green tea. She feels that turmeric possesses more anticancer properties than any other healing spice. The active constituent in turmeric is called curcumin. Dr. Horner explained that it acts to prevent cancer by lowering inflammation, stimulating immune responses and helping slow the rate that breast cells divide. Turmeric helps the liver break down harmful potentially cancercausing chemicals we get exposed to via food, water and air. Soy is an important breast cancer protective food. Dr. Horner explained that it decreases tumor initiation, promotion and progression in breast cancer. Soy contains a phytoestrogen, genistein, which attaches to estrogen receptors in breast tissue and causes breast cells to divide at slower pace. Dr. Horner explained that the benefit from genistein is only gained only when soy is consumed as a whole food. When genistein is taken in a concentrated form found in supplements, it has the potential to cause breast cell proliferation. To gain the breast-protective benefits of soy, Dr. Horner suggests it be eaten in the form of edamame, dry roasted soybeans, tempeh, tofu, miso and natto. Dr. Horners presentation was educational and entertaining. I found her to be very knowledgeable and passionate. Im grateful that the Thermography Center of Montana brought Dr. Horner to Montana. Michael Bergkamp ND, Lac, Joanna Dove ND, Lac, and I were happy to sponsor Dr. Horners lecture and suggest you consider reading her book Waking The Warrior Goddess, published in 2007.
