go oprah

monday i saw part of oprah's show. she had some dude on named dr. oz. he had conducted, or had all the info for, experiments conducted with nutrition. he had these truckers put on a high fiber diet and tracked how quickly they had a bowel movement. after i think it was 10 days the truckers went #2 in half the time! then they had an experiment where people had to eat 11 pounds of fresh veggies and fruits a day. after 10 days their cholesterol had dropped by 25% and their blood pressure by 10%. also, by eating a ton of calcium rich foods, you will shed 6 1/2 pounds of fat in a year. wow.

needless to say, i am now on a healthfood kick. "beans and bran" is my new motto. carrots and celery are my new best friends. a healthy colon is a happy colon. we eat too much processed food in my family and i don't want to be the one contributing to my boys future colon cancer.
