Got Headaches? An article from Hepatology Dec., 2005 found that the percentage of potentially fatal acute liver failure cases caused by the ingestion of acetaminophen (Tylenol™) rose from 28% in 1998 to 51% in 2003. Drinking alcohol when taking this pain-killer—even if it’s only in the same day—increases the risk of permanent liver disease. Acetaminophen is an ingredient in many headache and cold remedies.

Rice-Bean-Corn Salad

I’m always looking for complete protein, low-fat, tasty salads that are not boring. This Rice-Bean-Corn Salad is a recipe we like. Our former neighbors liked it too, so it must be a keeper. We took a bowl over to our neighbor, Tim, and he ate both servings before his wife made it home for a taste. When Barb finally made it home, she was asked to trek on over to get the recipe. She made another whole batch the next day.
