| LEAN" AND "EXTRA-LEAN"
"Lean" and "extra-lean" refers to the fat content of meat, poultry and seafood. What these two terms mean...
Lean: Less than 10 g of fat, including no more than 4 g of saturated fat and less than 95 mg of cholesterol per 3-5-ounce serving.
Extra-lean: Less than 5 g of fat, including no more than 2 g of saturated fat and less than 95 mg of cholesterol per 3.5-ounce serving.
OTHER TERMS
Reduced: The food contains at least 25% less of an ingredient (such as fat, cholesterol, sodium or added sugar) or calories than the regular product. |

 Instead of being lean, their faces are moon-like, and their arms, legs, and stomach are puffy and bloated. These babies are susceptible to colds and other infections, have sleeping problems, and tend to cry a lot. The undigested milk or milk formula may be responsible for the development of gallstones in the livers of very young children. Even the whole-fat milk offered in food stores today has a reduced fat content, making milk indigestible for most people. |

 And that can unleash a whole new program of exercise that leads to healthy weight loss, increased bone density, more lean body mass and many other benefits.
Cleansing goes way beyond just physical healing, by the way: It opens up a whole new universe of incredible brain performace. It even gives you more spiritual clarity and emotional stability. The benefits of this cleansing experience are nothing short of miraculous. Cleaning out the gunk in your body is a powerful form of medical self-treatment. It involves no drugs, no surgery and doesn't require a prescription. |

 Obese children had much lower magnesium levels in their blood than lean children. Children with lower magnesium levels had a higher insulin resistance.
The results of the diet survey showed that obese children processed 14.4% less magnesium from the foods they ate than lean children, even though obese and lean children ate about the same number of calories per day. Obese children eat more calories from fatty foods than lean children. In addition to not eating enough foods rich in magnesium, obese children seem to be less proficient in using magnesium from the foods they eat. |

 Today Laura's lean Beef is naturally raised, with distribution in more than five thousand grocery stores in forty-six states. In 2005, company sales are expected to reach $135 million, according to the company's Web site. And because they believe healthier beef is leaner beef, Laura's raises breeds of cattle such as Limousin and Charolais, whose cuts are naturally lower in fat than beef from other breeds.

 Then they fed rats lean beef with or without extra iron. No significant differences were found in the total number of colon tumors or the incidence of tumors between rats fed lean beef with iron and rats fed beef without added iron. When lean beef is consumed the risk for colon cancer is not increased. [Cancer Letters 112: 87, 1997]
In a human study, patients with colon cancer actually had lower blood serum iron concentrations than patients with intestinal polyps or healthy patients. Malignant tissues had higher levels of iron than healthy tissues. |

 Lean and Extra lean When used on meat, poultry, or seafood, lean means that there are less than 10 g of fat, 4.5 g of saturated fat, and 95 mg of cholesterol in each 100 g serving. Extra lean, for meat, poultry, or seafood, means that there are less than 5 g of fat, 2 g of saturated fat, and 95 mg of cholesterol in each 100 g serving. (A brand name containing the word lean, such as lean Cuisine, can continue using its name even if it doesn't meet this criterion, if it was in use prior to November 27,1991.)

Blow up balloons or blow whistles. Forcefully blowing a whistle acts like a vacuum cleaner to rid your lungs of toxic dirt and grime. Buy a cheap whistle (remove the pea if it is too noisy for you and your neighbours) and whistle while you work!

 The mothers who got the methyl group supplements produced standard, lean, brown mice, even though their offspring had the same agouti gene as their mothers. The agouti mothers who didn't get the supplements produced yellow pups, which ate much more than the brown pups. The yellow pups wound up weighing almost twice as much as their lean, "pseudo-agouti" counterparts.
The University's photo on the previous page is striking. Though the two mice are genetically identical, they are radically different in appearance: one mouse is lean and brown and the other mouse is obese and yellow. |

 Even though this is saturated fat, by removing the skin from the meat you still can have a very lean protein meal.
Obviously the worst fats and protein come from our red meats and dairy products. If you are going to eat red meat, at least eat the leanest cut you can. You should avoid dairy products except for low-fat cottage cheese, milk, and egg whites. If you are going to eat eggs, try to get range-fed chicken eggs, which contain omega-3 fatty acids.
Some of the worst fats that you can eat are the trans-fatty acids. These are called rancid fats because they are so harmful to our bodies. |

 For Bill Withers's "Lean On Me," for example, they leaned against each other on the chorus and flexed their biceps on the line, "when you're not strong," and cradled their arms for imaginary babies during, "I'll help you carry on."
So this was a slice of the Adventist Sabbath. If you're not part of the community, it might seem almost quaint. |

 Polar bears that are stranded on land in the ice-free summer face lean times, with only berries, seaweed, old carcasses and human refuse to feed on. The earlier the ice breaks up in the spring, the less chance bears have to replenish their reserves before the lean summer months. Already one scientific study has found evidence that Hudson Bay polar bears are in worse condition in years when the sea ice breaks up earlier. Fewer yearling cubs survive, and fewer new cubs are born. |

| Today, the dietary patterns of the general Okinawan population (excluding the elders) have shifted significantly from the traditional diet of vegetables, fruit, soybeans, whole grains, fish, and limited amounts of lean meats to one much heavier in meat, processed grains (e.g. white rice), and fast food.17 The shift has markedly increased the caloric density of the diet and led to higher consumption of calories. At the same time, daily physical activity has diminished. This deadly combination is an all-too-familiar story. |

 This may explain why coconut oil helps to build lean muscles. Many body builders, personal trainers, Olympic athletes, and others use it for building lean body mass.
Coconut oil is easily digested, even by weak and compromised digestive systems. It is the only oil that doesn't require bile to digest it, which makes it useful for those whose gallbladder has been removed. Coconut oil assists with most digestive disorders, such as Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome. This oil does not require any enzymes or carriers to be transported across cell membranes. |

 Although it may seem that fat is more watery, it turns out that lean tissue contains more water. lean tissue contains three-quarters water, while fat contains about one-quarter water.
Water Output
To maintain just the right water balance, the intake of water must exactly match the output of water. The body loses or disposes of water in several ways, as displayed in Figure 7-1. The kidneys are the main regulators of water. The kidneys account for about half of the total water output. Our skin loses water in two ways. |

In 2005, company sales are expected to reach $135 million, according to the company's Web site. |

 So perhaps we should lean toward the validity of the Finnish study. Yet two previous studies (cited by both the Nurses and the Finnish researchers), both smaller and with less powerful designs, found no relation between stress and breast cancer risk. This would seem to tip the scales toward the Nurses study. Yet as we have maintained throughout this book, any given study, no matter how impressive, should never be used to draw a significant conclusion. A wiser course of action would be to wait for further studies which either confirm or deny whether stress really causes some cancers. |

| The fact that there is a three-fold higher death rates from colon cancer in the northeastern US compared with sunnier southern regions, has caused researchers to lean towards vitamin D deficiency rather than calcium as a more plausible preventive factor for colon/rectal cancer. Researchers believed vitamin D, which helps the body absorb and utilize dietary calcium, is the key factor in colon cancer prevention. [Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers Prevention 5: 897-900, 1996; Cancer Letters 127: 43-53, 1998]
High intake of calcium is also being linked to prostate cancer. |
