Artist of Interest
Ha, an artist came into the shop today and we chatted a while and he gave me his website, but the exact page he gave me at first didn't have any photos or descriptions, just a location of his show. Well, after he left, I looked at it in more depth and his stuff is really cool, so check it out.

Hmmm...
Bad habits can age you by 12 years, study suggests
By LINDSEY TANNER, AP Medical Writer Lindsey Tanner, Ap Medical Writer – Mon Apr 26, 9:26 pm ET
CHICAGO – Four common bad habits combined — smoking, drinking too much, inactivity and poor diet — can age you by 12 years, sobering new research suggests.
The findings are from a study that tracked nearly 5,000 British adults for 20 years, and they highlight yet another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Overall, 314 people studied had all four unhealthy behaviors. Among them, 91 died during the study, or 29 percent. Among the 387 healthiest people with none of the four habits, only 32 died, or about 8 percent.
The risky behaviors were: smoking tobacco; downing more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily.
These habits combined substantially increased the risk of death and made people who engaged in them seem 12 years older than people in the healthiest group, said lead researcher Elisabeth Kvaavik of the University of Oslo.
The study appears in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine.
The healthiest group included never-smokers and those who had quit; teetotalers, women who had fewer than two drinks daily and men who had fewer than three; those who got at least two hours of physical activity weekly; and those who ate fruits and vegetables at least three times daily.
"You don't need to be extreme" to be in the healthy category, Kvaavik said. "These behaviors add up, so together it's quite good. It should be possible for most people to manage to do it."
For example, one carrot, one apple and a glass of orange juice would suffice for the fruit and vegetable cutoffs in the study, Kvaavik said, noting that the amounts are pretty modest and less strict than many guidelines.
The U.S. government generally recommends at least 4 cups of fruits or vegetables daily for adults, depending on age and activity level; and about 2 1/2 hours of exercise weekly.
Study participants were 4,886 British adults aged 18 and older, or 44 years old on average. They were randomly selected from participants in a separate nationwide British health survey. Study subjects were asked about various lifestyle habits only once, a potential limitation, but Kvaavik said those habits tend to be fairly stable in adulthood.
Death certificates were checked for the next 20 years. The most common causes of death included heart disease and cancer, both related to unhealthy lifestyles.
Kvaavik said her results are applicable to other westernized nations including the United States.
June Stevens, a University of North Carolina public health researcher, said the results are in line with previous studies that examined the combined effects of health-related habits on longevity.
The findings don't mean that everyone who maintains a healthy lifestyle will live longer than those who don't, but it will increase the odds, Stevens said.

Tonite Artist Haven 6-8pm
Come hang out, bring that favorite knitting project, paint by numbers, drawing, or short story you were working on at home but can't quite feel the inspiration to finish. Grab a couch or a table (or the coveted armchair) and perhaps meet others looking to gain the same inspiration.
6-8pm tonight. See you there.
*Ric is at the helm tonight so come and bug him and talk about gaming. :P

Tonight's Open Mic
So our host has departed to move onto other things and tonight we turned away a reader due to the confusion.
But trust, dear NJites, we will still have a place for people to read and express themselves every Thursday at 7pm.
Please spread the word so people can have a great little venue to perform in.
And for those of you who wanted to read tonight, please come back next week and we'll see what we can stir up.
See you next Thursday, everyone!

Milkless tea, eh?
Interesting Article:
Milk’s fat content may influence tea’s antioxidants
By Stephen Daniells, 02-Mar-2010

The choice of adding full-fat or skimmed milk to tea may influence the antioxidant capacity of the beverage, says new research from the UK which may have public health implications.
According to findings published in Nutrition Research, addition of milk of any kind reduced the antioxidant potential of black tea by between 7 and 25 per cent than unmilked tea.
However, addition of skimmed milk decreased the total antioxidant capacity of black tea much more than whole or semi-skimmed milk, report Lisa Ryan and Sébastien Petit from the Functional Food Center at Oxford Brookes University.
The reduction in the antioxidant activity of tea, as measured by the FRAP assay, was reported to be a linked to the levels of theaflavins and thearubigins that will affect the total antioxidant capacity of black tea.
“Although the addition of milk may not inhibit the catechin or quercetin concentrations, it may affect other antioxidant components such as the theaflavins and thearubigins that will affect the total antioxidant capacity of black tea,” wrote Ryan and Petit.
Green versus black
The majority of science on tea has looked at green tea, with benefits reported for reducing the risk of Alzheimer's and certain cancers, improving cardiovascular and oral health, as well as aiding in weight management.
Green tea contains between 30 and 40 per cent of water-extractable polyphenols, while black tea (green tea that has been oxidized by fermentation) contains between 3 and 10 per cent. Considering that the British consume between three and four cups of black tea a day, often with milk (and the rest of the world averages between one and two cups a day), the findings could have public health implications, said the Oxford-based researchers.
“From a public health perspective, tea is rich in antioxidants and may be an important contributor to an individual's overall antioxidant status,” they wrote.
Contrasting science
Previous studies have reported somewhat contradictory data. A study from 2007 by German scientists at the Charite Hospital in Berlin found that drinking tea with milk may block the cardiovascular benefits of the catechins.

Writing in the European Heart Journal (2007, Vol. 28, pp. 219-223), the researchers found that while tea increased the artery's ability to relax and expand to accommodate increased blood flow compared to water, this effect was blocked when milk was added to the beverage.
The new research depends our understanding of the potential health benefits of the beverage may be related to the fat content of the milks used, and that not all milk affects the bioavailability of tea compounds equally.
Ryan and Petit analysed the antioxidant capacity of five brands of black with different volumes of whole milk, semiskimmed, and skimmed milk.
Their results showed that adding of 10, 15, and 20 mL of whole, semiskimmed, and skimmed cow’s milk decreased the total antioxidant capacity, but that skimmed milk decreased it the most.
“We accept the hypothesis that different volumes of bovine milk and milk of varying fat content affect the total antioxidant capacity of tea,” wrote Ryan and Petit.
“The degree to which the addition of milk reduces the antioxidant capacity of black tea depends on the amount added and the fat content of the milk,” they added.
And what about coffee?
A recent study by food giant Nestlé reported that adding milk to instant coffee had no effect on the uptake of coffee’s antioxidants, including caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and isoferulic acid.
According to findings of a study with nine people published in The Journal of Nutrition, the uptake of caffeic and ferulic acids was lower, however, when coffee was made with non-dairy creamer and sugar.
The science, testing and regulation surrounding antioxidants will be discussed at the upcoming NutraIngredients Antioxidants 2010 Conference. For more information and to register, please click here .

Happy Weekend, come bring your ipod!
Last night's Open Mic got us off to a good start here at Cam's. We met some new people/writers/performers, but we still have room for lots of talented new people who want to try out their new ideas --> prose, poetry, stories, acoustic songs, raps, whatever else.
Anyway, we look forward to the weekend and chillin' out. New boutique items, lots of great food and treats, and the laid back vibe you can only find at Cam's.
No live music this week, so bring your ipods and we can hook 'em up!
