I want to thank my readers for their patients as I have had a hectic week. The following posts are articles that I’ve had recommended to me from a reader:

1) The Health Benefits of Turmeric (sourve: Brain Blogger)

A spice that is an antioxidant, used as an antibiotic, can prevent cancers, and an Angiogenesis Regulator

2) La Nouvella Cuisine (About.com)

"Obesity is a big problem in France, and it keeps getting bigger. In September 2008, Valérie Boyer, UMP deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône, published a report announcing that 50% of French adults are overweight, and 1 in 6 are obese. She proposed some 80 measures to help trim some fat from the collective French waistline."

3) Community Health Centers in an Era of Health Reform and Economic Downturn (source KFF.org)

"This issue brief reviews the role of community health centers in the nation’s health care safety net. The centers provided comprehensive primary care to 16.1 million patients in 2007, many of them from lower-income families and medically under served communities. The role of the centers is even more critical during an economic recession when families are more vulnerable to economic loss and unmet health needs."
