Henry Thomason Pro Powerlifter - Talks about ETS by http://www.atlargenutrition.com http://www.atlargenutrition.com ETS (Extreme Training Support) is a revolution in the sports supplement industry. ETS uses proven ingredients and is one of the very few truly effective sports supplements for the hard training individual. The backbone of ETS is a unique nutracuetical called MicroLactin trade;. MicroLactin trade; is one of the end results of a process originally pioneered by Dr. William Peterson. Decades ago Dr. Peterson introduced the idea of "immune milk". This milk was the result of treating cows with special immune stimulants. When the cows were treated with these stimulants they produced antibodies which were then passed on in their milk. When humans consumed this milk several health benefits were noted by Dr. Peterson. Stolle Milk Biologics, Inc. took the work of Dr. Peterson and further refined it to produce MicroLactin trade;. This special product was produced specifically for the US supplement market. Humanetics Corporation teamed up with Stolle Milk Biologics to market this supplement in the United States. In our continuous search for new and exciting sports supplements AtLarge Nutrition contacted Humanetics Corporation to see what products they had to offer which might be of interest to us. Our Humanetics representative mentioned MicroLactin trade; as a product we might like to offer. It had been on the market for a period of time as a joint care product. As we researched MicroLactin trade; it occurred ...

Making nutrition labels more useful

Posted on by

How many calories are in that yogurt? How much salt is in that soup? To many people, the nutrition label on packaged food is a given, something that seems always to have been part of the wrapping. But the calorie or sodium or fat content of packaged foods used to be a mystery.

It was only two decades ago, with the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, that key nutrition facts were required to be printed on almost all packaged foods. (That law did not cover meat or poultry products, but the Agriculture Department synchronized its regulations for meat and poultry with those of the Food and Drug Administration.) Then-FDA Commissioner David Kessler made sure that the information would be rendered clearly, in contrast to ingredient lists, which are often printed in a tiny, hard-to-read font. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued its final regulations in January 1993. The only substantive change since then has been the addition of a line for trans fat in 2006.

Everyone involved in the passage of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act knew that the information on, and perhaps the design of, the label would have to be updated as nutrition science evolved and as the public used (or didnt use) labels. Millions of health-conscious people consider nutrition labels essential when they buy food, but the labels are showing their age. Improving food labels could spur companies to market much healthier foods and encourage consumers to make smarter choices.

One problem is that because of advances in nutrition research since 1993, calories and refined sugars are considered more important today, and concern has shifted from total fat to saturated and trans fats. A bigger problem is that the standard label offers two dozen numbers. But who, other than a nutritionist, might know whether to put back a food that is high in vitamin C and fiber but also high in sodium and saturated fat?

Some problems could be easily fixed. The labels should display calorie content more prominently. Sugars should include only refined sugars added to food and not the naturally occurring sugars in fruits, vegetables and milk. Since and partly because trans fat was added to nutrition labels, most artificial trans fat, from partially hydrogenated oil, has been eliminated from foods. The FDA should protect consumers health and simply ban partially hydrogenated oil, obviating the need for a trans fat line. And consumers would be helped tremendously if the labels highlighted high amounts of saturated fat, sodium and added sugars.

But those changes still would not address label complexity, which can leave many shoppers mystified. What consumers need is easy-to-comprehend information on the front of food packages.

Perhaps the smartest approaches rate foods by giving them credit for the nutrients we should be eating more of and subtracting credit for the bad stuff. Hannaford Bros. and Food Lion supermarket chains give all foods zero to three gold stars, depending on the balance of nutrients. Everyone can understand these simple ratings, which are printed on shelf tags rather than on labels.

The NuVal system, which is used on shelf tags by Raleys, Hy-Vee and two dozen other supermarket chains, rates all foods on a scale of 1 to 100. That approach allows people to scan dozens of salad dressings, breakfast cereals or frozen dinners to see which have the highest, or best, numbers.

For several years, the FDA has studied updating food labels to ensure they reflect the latest nutrition science and dietary trends. New regulations might be proposed this year, followed by a period for public comment. The agency has also explored approaches for presenting information on the front of packages.

Lets hope that, in a few years, food packages will have second-generation labels that really will move our population toward healthier diets. But lets also hope that Americans eat a lot of foods that dont have labels and are the healthiest: fresh fruits and vegetables.

Arbitrator says no to extended longevity pay for school district employees

Posted on by

An independent arbitrator has decided that longevity pay is not a given for classified employees of the Douglas County School District.

On Dec. 20, San Francisco arbitrator William E. Riker ruled in favor of the district office that long-standing step and longevity salary increases are subject to negotiation and therefore do not automatically extend beyond the term of an employment contract.

First and foremost is recognition by the parties that at the expiration of the term of a collective bargaining agreement, unless specifically exempted, all of the articles of a contract are on the table, Riker wrote in his decision. Frankly, recognizing the reality of the district's funding sources, as well as the financial circumstance the school district may be facing in 2013, the association's position on step increases is not the more reasonable.

The decision was the result of an impasse in negotiations between the district and the Douglas County Support Staff Organization. According to arbitration proceedings, union membership rejected a tentative agreement last summer because of one sentence in the contract regarding step increases.

That sentence stated that step increases would last only for the life of the two-year contract, which expires in June 2013, meaning affected employees would receive checks retroactively for the preceding fiscal year as well as increased salaries this year.

The union protested to the word only, which later was deleted from the draft language, but also to the sentence itself that limited step increases to the contract period.

This position was supported at the hearing through the testimony of Ms. Haskins (DCSSO Past President Debbie Haskins), wrote the arbitrator, when she responded to questions while under cross-examination that: We have just always been given our five-year step increase, our one, two, three, four, five, 10, 15, and 20 step raises, so the concern or the knowledge that, really, the district's intent was to take away our longevity raise, I didn't even have a concept of that because it has never been that way, and never had they threatened to take it away.'

The district's response, according to the proceedings, was that step increases do not exist outside contractual negotiations:

On July 30, 2012, the district's superintendent (Lisa Noonan) wrote to Ms. Haskins that: Step increases are a form of compensation. There is an additional cost to the district's budget each year if step increases are provided. Compensation is a required area of bargaining. I am not aware of anything in NRS or in the current contract that makes step increases mandatory or automatic.'

According to DCSD Human Resources Director Rich Alexander, the step increases in question would affect only 74 of roughly 400 classified employees in the district and would cost about $56,000. That includes a 2-2.5 percent pay raise each year in the first five years of employment, and a 5 percent raise in the 10th, 15th and 20th year of employment.

Health and longevity

Action needed, not investigation

The article Thursday about poor longevity in the U.S. echoed what the World Health Organization has been reporting for many years [Under 50? Living in U.S. is risk to health, page one, Jan. 10].

The WHO ranks the U.S. at the bottom of developed nations in healthy longevity. How can this be? We have the finest health care in the world, right? Wrong.

The drug companies run the show, and their products are, on average, not as efficacious or benign as the natural medicine that prevails in less advanced cultures, not to mention being a lot more expensive.

If people will step outside the box and pursue prevention and therapy at the hands of naturopaths and enlightened MDs, they will not be captured by these miserable statistics. Of course, the usual suspects, like diet, obesity and lifestyle, must also be dealt with.

The route to better health and longevity is clear. We simply have to take it.
