		<title>Anti-depressants Linked to Increased Risk of Miscarriage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recent case-control study published online on May 31 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) found that pregnant women who use antidepressants have a 68% increased risk of miscarriage compared with those who do not take the medications.

		<title>Spring Cooking!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spring is the time of growth and renewal.  Our diet during this time should be simple, light and contain plenty of young plants, fresh greens and sprouts.  In the spring, food is best cooked for a shorter time but at higher temperatures.  That way, we preserve more nutrients.  Small amounts of raw foods are recommended especially for individuals with warm constitution and during periods of intense physical activity.  Large amounts of raw foods can weaken digestive fire so individuals with cold constitution and weak digestion should be cautious.
