Vinegar Seen as a Tangy Fat Fighter
Study in mice affirms prior indications that vinegar discourages deposition of unhealthful belly fat and promotes its burning
by Craig Weatherby
Are you fighting to keep unhealthful, unsightly fat off your belly? Join the crowd!
Vinegar enjoys an ancient reputation as a healthful food, and new research suggests that pickled foods and vinegary dressings may help fight abdominal bulge.
The secret to the fat-fighting potential of vinegar lies in its defining natural constituent ... a tart, tangy chemical called acetic acid.
(For some suggested ways to get vinegar into your diet, see “What can you do with this information?” below.)
The body stores excess dietary calories as body fat, and most of that fat ends up one of two places.
Fat can be stored either as subcutaneous fat, located just under the skin. Or it can be deposited as unhealthier, harder-to-lose abdominal (visceral) fat which, by definition, is fat found around the body’s central organs.
An excess of abdominal fat is known medically as central obesity, and is commonly called belly fat.
Aside from being socially and romantically undesirable ─ fairly or not ─ there’s a strong correlation between central obesity and an increased risk of developing ...

New Movie Hits Over-Fishing Hard
Documentary’s dire picture should help prompt consumers to ask tough questions at markets and restaurants
by Craig Weatherby
A just-released documentary titled “The End of the Line” shines a light on the problem of overfishing.
The film, which is narrated by actor Ted Danson, premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival and made its U.S. theatrical debut on June 19 in New York and Los Angeles.
“The End of the Line” is being billed as “‘An Inconvenient Truth’ for oceans” and is based on a 2004 book by Charles Clover, former environment editor of London's Daily Telegraph.
If overfishing is to ever rise in priority among the eco-woes currently pricking people’s consciences ─ and prompt them and fish sellers to take action ─ people need to see it, and demand sustainable seafood, in droves.
It will take some serious marketing skills, money, and celebrity support to bring this film the kind of attention received by “An Inconvenient Truth”.
We applaud the moviemakers’ motives, given the truly dire threat that overfishing poses both to pricey sushi fare like blue fin tuna … and to the less famous species that support hundreds of millions of poor people worldwide.
Well-managed stocks such as Alaskan salmon, halibut, sablefish, scallop, pollock, and crab, and some fisheries in the lower 48 prove that it can be done right. (See “Alaska Leads on Seafood Sustainability”.
Does the film do the job?
Early reviewers in Britain say the film excels when it explores the plight of poor fishermen … such as a Senegalese man whose livelihood is threatened by his country's selling of fishing rights to the highest bidder.
Many film critics felt that director Rupert Murray relied a bit too much on overheated rhetoric and unintentionally silly sequences.
For example, the narration stereotypes sushi eaters as “fashion conscious”, and the movie features several slow-motion shots of bloody fish and decks, as though commercial fishing didn’t inevitably involve death.
But these are quibbles ... we can only hope that the film prompts consumers to demand sustainably harvested seafood.
And to find sustainably harvested seafood, use the Searchable Guide to Sustainable Seafood “widget” created by the filmmakers and presented on our Web site. This tool relies on respected fishery-sustainability ratings developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program.
Dire situation demands consumer action
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2006 report on world fisheries, 23 percent of fisheries are ...

Mac (Oil) is Back!
Our high standards meant a long search for a new supplier of this exquisite culinary oil
by Craig Weatherby
Macadamia Nut Oil is a top choice among nutritionists and chefs.
Its delicate flavor makes it a versatile choice for sauces, salads, and more.
Our velvety smooth Organic Macadamia Nut Oil features a wonderfully light, delicate flavor that brings out the natural goodness of favorite foods ─ especially mild fish ─ without overpowering them.
But organic, unblended macadamia oils of high quality are hard to find ... we encountered many that failed the taste test before finding our exquisite new macadamia nut oil.
Current supplies are limited, so be sure to stock up!
Beaucoup health benefits
Like olive oil, but unlike most cooking oils, macadamia nut oil is very low in the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids in which American diets are overabundant.
Instead, like olive oil, macadamia nut oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which, compared with omega-6 fats, are associated with reduced risk of cancer and diabetes.
This makes macadamia nut oil a smart alternative to commonly used omega-6-heavy cooking oils like corn, soy, canola, safflower, sunflower, and cottonseed.
Connoisseurs enjoy it as a dip for fine breads, a dressing for salads, and cooking oil for fish.
Enjoy!

Grilled Halibut with Fresh Tomato-Basil Relish
Halibut is the biggest member of the flounder family by far, and can weigh as much as 700 pounds.
We select much smaller, younger halibut for our customers, to ensure maximum tenderness and purity.
Alaskan halibut’s firm flesh and subtle flavor make it a perfect match for grilling.
It’s best to serve halibut with relatively mild seasonings, relishes and sauces like the one used in today’s recipe, lest you overpower its delicate flavor.
Grilled Halibut with Fresh Tomato-Basil Relish
Adapted from “The Thrill of the Grill” by Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby (William Morrow and Company, 1990).
Serves 4
2 large ripe tomatoes, diced (or 3/4 cup canned diced tomatoes)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 Tbsp minced red onion
4 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
-
Place the diced tomato into a mixing bowl with the basil, olive oil, onion, and balsamic vinegar. Mix well and set aside.
-
Rub the fish with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the fish over a medium-hot fire for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque all the way through.
-
Add the lemon juice and garlic to the tomato mixture and mix well. Place the fillet portions on the plates and top with the relish.
