Doctor's discovery may end obesity
HILTON HEAD, S.C. -- A doctor has discovered that an ingredient found in a small fruit grown in Asia, combined with an ingredient praised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture can help cause significant weight loss,
In a study published in a prestigious American medical journal, Dr. Anthony A. Conte, M.D, reponed that the formula, now called Bio-Max 3000, caused patients to lose more than twice as much weight as a control group on the same fat reduced diet. Neither group WllS instructed to decrease the. amount of food they ate or to incl'!lase t~!!irexerc,:ise ,Ie,vels. An article published intheAme,;canJour,Ilil ofClinicalNutritioil confirms that you don', have to ,reduce the amount offood you eatlo lose weight, provid-ed that you limit the fat. '

Scienti~ts suggest that the mechanism be~ind the weight reduction includes decreasing sugar cravings and interruption of the uKrebs Cycle", an imponant step in the body's fat storage process.

New Year's Resolutions On New Year's day, we have a custom,
it's a day when new vows are spoken' But backsliding comes as no surprise,
for most of them are always broken. , Why we stick to this strange ritual,
to me, has never been very clear; For, no matter what they all resolve,
they'have todoover next year . .
Uncle Josh gets into the spirit, "No more ~ting pore Sal with a stick;"
And he really sticks to his promise, he now uses thehantne of a pick.
Said cousin Bo, the alcOholic, "from this day forward, I'll drink 110 wine;"
Now he sits all day and sips his beer, no matter the brand, it suits him fme.
Then spake Aunt Jane, .the city gossip, she was abane to the human race;
"I'll no longer snoop and pry~ I'll keep my nose here in my face."
But, ~y she's'lnt,he hospital, . with a bandage on her eye, poQr ~ul;
The victim of a sharp nail me, caught peeking thru the neighbor's keyhole;
I. 'most always go to the party, to ring out the old, ringin the new:
But I make 110 list of resolves, . to be broken, as the others do. Each year I j\JS.t repeat the saine old Vow,
' O!le trolt's~y to k;eep, for: yOqsee; Myi _re~!OJ~JtO~le&I.=h. ~ewY~ is, '

SEEDS FROM THE SOWER Michael A. Guido
Flowers and hours soon fade away. If you're average, you'll spend 157,000 hours
getting an education. That leaves you 412,000 hours from age 18 to 65.
You'll spend eight hours of every day sl~eping and eight hours eating and relaxing.
You're left eight yours a day to work in. If you live to be65, you'll have only 134,000 ~ours in which to work.
No matter you rich you are, you can't buy more time. No matter how poor you are, you won't receive less time. You'll be given sixty ~utes to an hour.
No WOndef the Bible says, "Don't be fools; be wise: make the most of every opportunity fOf doing good."
