Even More Positive News

Ginger, pepper treat difficult cancers

Ginger can kill ovarian cancer cells while the
compound that makes peppers hot can shrink
pancreatic tumors, researchers told a conference
on Tuesday.

Their studies add to a growing body of evidence
that at least some popular spices might slow or
prevent the growth of cancer.

WALMART is now offering organic food!

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is throwing its weight behind
organic products, a move that experts say could
have the same lasting effect on environmental
practices that Wal-Mart has had on prices by
forcing suppliers and competitors to keep up.

Putting new items on the shelf this year, from
organic cotton baby clothes to ocean fish caught
in ways that don't harm the environment, is part
of a broader green policy launched last year to
meet consumer demand, cut costs for things like
energy and packaging.

Wal-Mart plans to double its organic grocery
offerings in the next month and continue looking
for more products to offer in areas such as grocery,
apparel, paper and electronics.

Stephen Quinn, vice president of marketing, told
an analysts' conference this month that Wal-Mart
would have 400 organic food items in stores this
summer "at the Wal-Mart price."

Now Walmart is often bashed in the media,
I thought this was a very positive for
everyone involved in organic foods.

Just think if the biggest retailer in the world
goes "green" ANYTHING can HAPPEN!
