Dear John,
Football fever is here! It is that time of year again, and we are looking forward to
Super Bowl XLV next Sunday, February 6. In honor of this special holiday, we have plenty of tasty Super
Bowl recipes that will be easy to make and take to any super bowl party. Our
Super Bowl recipe page has several recipes featuring everything
from
brisket to
wings! Or visit our recipe section below for a Beefy Taco Dip.
Here at US Wellness we routinely receive phone calls from customers on a gluten-free
diet, or from concerned parents of Autistic children looking for gluten-free products. What exactly is
a gluten-free diet? This
slideshow from WebMD gives lots of good
information. Basically it is a diet free of grains, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods. US
Wellness is happy to offer an endless selection of gluten free
meats and
snacks (even
ice cream!)
to customers with celiac disease, IBS, autism, or gluten allergies.
Where's the beef? This week fast food
giant Taco Bell was hit with a lawsuit claiming their meat filling was below USDA standards.
Apparently, meat filling must be at least 40% meat - only 40%! What makes up the other 60% of the
"meat"? Usually extenders, such as wheat, starches and oat flour; and binders such as soy
lecithin. This
Today Show video gives a more in-depth look
at what you are actually getting in your fast food burritos. Don't risk your health with mystery meat -
our
ground beef is 100% grass-fed, antibiotic and hormone-free, with
no added fillers or binders.
Butter is back! Due to a nationwide shortage of grass-fed cream necessary to make
grass-fed butter, we ran short on our famous grass-fed butter this month. While this is frustrating, it
is also a good problem because it means more people are realizing the amazing benefits of grass-fed dairy!
We have both
Salted and
Unsalted varieties of Kerrygold Butter in stock now. It is
100% grass-fed made from summer milk when cattle are enjoying lush grasses, and packaged in a convenient 8 oz
package. This
butter has a creamy texture and a rich butter flavor you will love as much as we do! Our friends at
The Nourishing Gourmet are fans
too - read their informative
blog post to learn more about
Kerrygold.
Thanks to our loyal customers - we are getting very close to our 100,000th
order! To show our appreciation, the lucky customer who places that 100,000th order will receive a $100
US Wellness Gift Certificate. We are about 500 orders away from this feat, so be sure and place your
next order this week for your chance to win!
If you will be in the San Francisco area this coming weekend, February 4-6, 2011,
make plans to attend the
Fourfold Path to Healing at the
Hyatt Regency San Franciso Airport. Our own John Wood will be there with plenty of samples to try,
along with our friends from Vital Choice Seafood. Featured speakers include Tom Cowan, MD author of
The Fourfold Path to Healing, and Sally Fallon, President of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

Dr. Eric Serrano MD, MS, BC
Question and Answer Column
|
Dear Dr. Serrano, George's question was posted in the January 9th Wellness
newsletter and he asked if
organic pasturized butter was as
healthy as organic raw butter. You said that raw butter was better but you didn't really address whether or
not
organic pasturized butter was at
least the next best thing since raw butter is not very available and is quite expensive.
Does
pasturized organic butter still
retain most of the health benefits of organic raw butter? Thanks, Jean ________________________________________________
Dear Jean,
Sorry about my mistake, usually John keeps me in line.
Pasteurized butter is the best
thing because it still provides vitamins and minerals and actually some of the fat in butter is heat stable,
and the vitamins are protected by the fats. The only problem is that with heat is that something always changes and
I am not aware of any body that has the chemical comparison between raw and pasteurized butter. If one
of our readers has that information I would love to have it. When you pasteurize milk it is different
because now you are heating proteins which are very sensible to heat.
Good luck, Dr. Serrano _________________________________________________This is a

Dear John, I have to take a moment to tell you how much we enjoy your company. I
have had health issues in the past and have switched my diet to all organic food and
grass fed beef. Yours is by far the BEST. I always keep my freezer stocked. You make it easy for us as consumers and I want you to know how much I appreciate all the hard work you do
to run such a fabulous company with such high standards. Your efforts do not go unnoticed! I feel better than
I have in years!!!! I'll be waiting for the butter with great anticipation. It will make me
appreciate it even more. Thanks for everything you do! Pamela Grateful

US Wellness - Supporting Our Troops
| As the war on terror continues to rage in the Middle East, we
continue to follow and support our troops both at home and abroad who work daily to protect our
freedom. Beginning in our 2011 News Alerts we will focus on different organizations and individuals who
are making a difference in the lives of our American Soldiers.
This
week we would like shine some light on the
Wounded Warrior
Project. The WWP was founded by a group of veterans when they saw the struggles their comrades were
facing when they started coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the signature
programs of the project is the
WWP Packs. These backpacks are packed
with essentials such as clothes, toiletries, playing cards, etc., and are handed out to wounded warriors at
the start of their hospital stays. Since many wounded servicemen and women arrive with only the clothes
on their backs, this gift is invaluable to them. The Wounded Warrior Project provides
assistance to our troops in endless ways - by helping them
find a job, go back to school, get involved in
sports and rehab programs, find
counseling, etc. If you would like to
learn more about this tremendous organization, visit their
website to
learn more about how you can help.
