DO CANADIANS KNOW THEIR NUMBER? Free cholesterol testing comes to Canada

Know Your Number, Know Your Risk A survey conducted by Becel® found that almost 70 per cent of Canadians – about 20 million people – don’t know their own cholesterol number . Yet it’s estimated that as many as 10 million Canadian adults have a cholesterol level that is higher than the recommended target .

“Knowing their cholesterol number is one easy step that all Canadians can take to help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke, since high blood cholesterol is a key risk factor for the disease,” said Maria Ricupero, registered dietitian. “In fact, women can proactively reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke by as much as 80 per cent by making lifestyle changes and taking action to improve their health.”


To help address this issue, Becel®, in its role as founding sponsor of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s The Heart Truth™ campaign, is offering free cholesterol screening tests at eight malls and in more than 200 stores across the country during the month of February.

Women suffering from frizz describe their hair as dry and unmanageable. For beautifully smooth, shiny hair, Dove has developed the Nourishing Oil Care collection.

The Dove Nourishing Oil Care collection uses Weightless-Nutri Oils, now with Argan Oil, to smooth away up to 100% of frizz.* For additional nourishment, Dovehas added the new Anti-Frizz Serum to the collection.

Working in tandem with the Dove Micro Moisture™ Serum, the two systems effectively lock in essential moisture and help restore softness from root to tip.
The Nourishing Oil Care Anti-Frizz Serum can be used before blow-drying to make hair more manageable and/or after to tame frizz and fly-aways. The lightweight formula is instantly absorbed by damp and dry hair and doesn't leave behind any surface greasiness.

Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health [Hardcover]

Product Description


A renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems.
Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100

million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls “wheat bellies.” According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It’s due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch.

After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—

and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the

American public as “wheat”—and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle.
Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who

have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, Wheat

Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient.

Celebrating 35 years of the MS Read-A-Thon – MS Society's Longest Running Fundraising Program

Toronto, ON - January 18, 2012 — The MS Society of Canada's Ontario Division is proud to announce the 35th anniversary of its longest running fundraising program, the MS Read-A-Thon, which raises funds to end multiple sclerosis while promoting literacy to school-aged children across the province. From January through April 2012, over 300 elementary schools will host assemblies to kick-off their participation in the MS Read-A-Thon, which will connect students to the joys of recreational reading while building awareness about this important cause. Multiple Sclerosis is the most common disease of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) among young adults, including children as young as 3, in Canada.

"Imagine telling a child you have the power to change the world. That's what the MS Read-A-Thon does. It gives kids the ability to improve the world inside themselves, as well as outside, and to help the people around them." — Mike Augustine, MS Read-A-Thon volunteer who lives with MS

Approximately 40,000 students in 900 schools across Canada participate in the MS Read-A-Thon each year, raising over $1 million. Participation in the program involves reading books while collecting pledges based on the number of minutes read. Proceeds fund research into the cause and cure for multiple sclerosis as well as provide services to people with MS and their families. Students participating in the MS Read-A-Thon have read 20 million books and raised more than $40 million since the program's inception in 1977.

"I like to know that I am making a difference in the lives of the people I care about. Who ever knew that reading could make such a big difference." — Courtney Gage, MS Read-A-Thon participant at top fundraising school (Bayview Glen, Toronto)

Vim® PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen

Naturally-derived ingredients with the tough cleaning power of Vim.

The new Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen cleaner defies the skeptics who believe a natural-based cleaner cannot work as well as traditional cleaners. In fact, Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen with 95% naturally derived ingredients is tougher on grease* versus the leading all-purpose cleaners. Vim is so confident that Canadians will love Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen that it is offering a money back guarantee on the product.

Vim PowerPro™ Naturals provides a solution for Moms who prefer to use a natural-based cleaner, but who don’t want to compromise on clean. It’s perfect for stainless steel sinks, glass, granite, and laminate counter tops, barbeques, china fixtures and sinks and stainless steel appliances.

This powerful lineup also includes: Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Bathroom and Vim Cream Naturals Multipurpose Cream.

Mom’s seeking cleaning options A new survey** commissioned by New Vim PowerPro™ Naturals found that less than a quarter (24%) of Moms who use other natural-based cleaning products are very satisfied with their performance for general household cleaning. Moms who don’t use natural based cleaners say that, if they did, they would use them primarily in the kitchen (45%)

Priced in-line with traditional Vim cleaners

The Vim PowerPro™ Naturals survey** found that the top reason Moms (cited by 59%) are not using natural-based cleaners is the belief that they cost more than the traditional cleaners. Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen is priced in-line with the traditional Vim cleaners at a suggested retail price of $3.99- $4.99 for a 750 ml bottle.

Availability Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen will be available January 22, 2012 at leading Canadian grocery, drug, and mass merchandise store.

### *Based on extensive tests in which Vim PowerPro™ Naturals Kitchen removed more grease with a fixed number of rubs vs. the leading all-purpose cleaners

Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment. As an alternative to the definition of "home" as a physical locale, home may be perceived to have no physical definition--instead, home may relate instead to a mental or emotional state of refuge or comfort.

ADELE21

Album Description

2011 sophomore album from the British vocalist.. Most of the album was recorded in Malibu with the legendary Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Jay Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and back in Kensal Rise in London with Paul Epworth (Plan B, Bloc Party, Florence). Adele cites Wanda Jackson, Yvonne Fair, Andrew Bird, Mary J Blige, Mos Def, Elbow, Tom Waits and Kanye West amongst others as key influences on 21. About its release she says 'I'm very excited, nervous, eager, anxious but chuffed to announce my new album! It's taken a while and it knocked me for six when writing it. It's different from 19, it's about the same things but in a different light. I deal with things differently now. I'm more patient, more honest, more forgiving and more aware of my own flaws, habits and principles. Something that comes with age I think. So fittingly this record is called 21. The whole reason I called my first album 19 was about cataloging what happened to me then and who I was then, like a photo album you see the progression and changes in a person throughout the years'.

Love & Leftovers

by Sarah Tregay (Goodreads Author)


My wish is to fall cranium over Converse in dizzy, daydream-worthy love.

When her parents split, Marcie is dragged from Idaho to a family summerhouse in New Hampshire. She leaves behind her friends, a group of freaks and geeks called the Leftovers, including her emo-rocker boyfriend, and her father.

By the time Labor Day rolls around, Marcie suspects this "vacation" has become permanent. She starts at a new school where a cute boy brings her breakfast and a new romance heats up. But understanding love, especially when you've watched your parents' affections end, is elusive. What does it feel like, really? can you even know it until you've lost it?

Love and Leftovers is a beautifully written story of one girl’s journey navigating family, friends, and love, and a compelling and sexy read that teens will gobble up whole.
