Sweet Praise from Alabama Homes
Tip from local customer triggers a glowing review of Vital Choice in Huntsville health column
Talk about sweet home Alabama … it seems we’ve found favor in a few homes around Huntsville!
We’ve always had plenty of customers in the middle of America, from Minnesota to Mississippi.
Even so, it was a bit of a surprise to hear from a customer that we’d been praised in the pages of Huntsville, Alabama’s Examiner.com.
The positive review was penned by former TV reporter and Healthy Living Examiner columnist Karen Petersen, who according to her online bio, “… is passionate about good health and wants to help readers achieve, or enhance, their healthy lifestyles …”.

Health columnist Karen Peterson

“Huntsville resident Linda Newkirk told your Healthy Living Examiner about the [Vital Choice] Web site. The salmon, rich in flavor and healthful omega-3, is her favorite, but she also keeps a stash of organic berries in the freezer.”
“Another area customer described the scallops as sweet and succulent, and her children couldn't gobble down the organic medley of wild berries, including antioxidant-rich blueberries, quickly enough.”
“In most cases, you will pay more for this seafood than you will at your neighborhood grocer. But many returning customers find the additional cost worth the convenience and quality of the product.”
We’d like to express our gratitude to longtime customer Linda Newkirk for bringing us to Ms. Peterson’s attention, unbidden!

Fish Linked to Heart-Diabetes Risks
Korean-American team finds fish-loving men less likely to develop metabolic syndrome: No risk reduction seen in women, who ate less fish on average
by Craig Weatherby
Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke … and one of the hottest topics in preventive medicine.
Having metabolic syndrome – called MetS for short – doubles your risk of heart attack and stroke.
So there’s been a rush to find ways to deter the several risk factors that, taken together, produce a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.
Someone is said to have MetS if they display any three out of these six proven risk factors for diabetes, stroke, and heart disease:
Now, the results of an epidemiological (diet-health) study from Korea link frequent fish consumption to a sharply reduced risk of being diagnosed with MetS.
This study is the first to link frequent fish consumption with a reduction in the risk of a MetS diagnosis, rather than a drop in the risk of one or two of its defining components.
Korean-American team finds reduced risk in fish-loving men
Researchers from Seoul’s Kookmin University recruited 3,500 Korean adults aged 40 to 69, had them fill out detailed diet surveys, and examined their health periodically over a three-year period (Baik I et al. 2010).
After the results were adjusted to account for other risk factors for MetS, the team determined that men who ate fish daily were 57 percent less likely to develop metabolic syndrome over three years, compared with those who dined on fish less than once a week.
About 12 percent of the 232 men who said they ate fish every day developed metabolic syndrome over the next three years.
In contrast, 16 percent of the 190 men who reported eating fish less than once a week developed metabolic syndrome.
However, the study detected no link between fish-eating and lower MetS risk among women.
Women got no benefit, but ate less fish than men
Why would frequent fish intake be less protective for women than for men?
The answer may lie in the relatively smaller amounts of fish eaten even by women – even among the women who ...

Scallops with Edamame and Pineapple
We love the recipes and photos on her blog, so we asked Ashley to allow us to publish some, and she kindly agreed.
Here’s how Ashley described today’s recipe (thanks for the compliments, Ashley!):
“I’m a huge seafood lover but given the distressing current state of our seas I also want to make sure I’m making as little negative impact as possible. Vital Choice is ranked high for environmental quality and I’ve read several articles about the nutritious aspects of their seafood (Dr. Andrew Weil is a big fan).”
“This recipe incorporates the wild Alaskan Weathervane Scallops I ordered. The scallops were large, had a great rich, slightly sea flavor and a nice firm texture. If you are accustomed to small, slightly sandy scallops from the East coast, these are a huge step up.”

Ashley Baquero, author of "The Quick and Dirty Cook" blog

“The recipe incorporates a lot of great flavors and textures: crunchy edamame (if you don’t overcook!), tangy pineapple, and sweet tomatoes. It would be great as a summer beach recipe, served with margaritas or mojitos! Also, if you prefer low-carb, feel free to place on lettuce instead of rice.”
Scallops with Edamame and Pineapple
Adapted from a South Beach recipe; Time 35 minutes
Serves 2-4

NEW Ginger Lemon Green Tea & Bulk Tea Choices
We’re pleased to announce a sunny new flavor, and a way to save on all of our premium organic teas!
Come summer, who wouldn’t love a lemony, gingery, lively tea with bountiful health benefits?
Every sip is enlivened by zesty, soothing ginger root and two lemony treats … Thai-accented lemongrass, and Australia’s distinctive lemon myrtle.
Lemongrass is a key herb in Thai cuisine, while Australians use lemon myrtle to flavor foods and brighten tea blends.
Australian Aborigines used lemon myrtle both as a seasoning and healing herb, and famed Aussie foodies Maggie and Colin Beer call it “the Queen of lemon herbs”.
Like all of our teas, it’s certified organic (by Oregon Tilth, Inc.) and certified kosher (by EarthKosher™).

Organic Farming Wins for Pest Control and Yields
A separate study found that certain “organic” pesticides can do as much or more localized environmental harm than synthetic pesticides
by Craig Weatherby
When it comes to farming, a new study shows that it’s better to let nature find its own equilibrium that to try to eliminate all pests.
But a second study found that natural pesticides aren’t always better for farming or the environment (see “Organic pesticides”, below).
The first study’s findings were published this week in the prestigious journal Nature by researchers at Washington State University.
The WSU team found that, when left alone, pests manage themselves, and numbers and species even out, leading to ecosystem renewal and bigger, better plants.
As they wrote, “In farmlands, agricultural pest-management practices often lead to altered food web structure and communities dominated by a few common species, which together contribute to pest outbreaks.” (Crowder DW et al. 2010).
The WSU team found that the more natural, “even” balance of plants, insects, and microbes typical of organic farms exerted the strongest long-term pest control and yielded bigger crops.
In contrast, they found more pests and smaller crops on conventional farms using chemical pesticides and herbicides and other synthetic agrichemicals.
They went on to express their key conclusion: “[With this research] … we show that organic farming methods mitigate this ecological damage by promoting ...
