Got the refund from Maxacaiburn

I called them the Monday after the Post Office confirmed delivery of my return. they checked the tracking code and issued me a refund authorization code. They said the money would take 5-10 days to arrive in my account--but I had it the next day. Case closed.

Maxacaiburn--no refund--YET

Called them this morning and gave them my post office tracking number. They see it's in transit, but won't refund my money until the post office confirms delivery. Next update when it arrives. The way they work, I can't recommend trying the product unless you are willing to pay for at least one month's supply. The "free trial" costs a lot more than $4.95 shipping and handling.

Beware Maxacaiburn

I tried the 14 day trial for $4.95 shipping and handling. When I called to cancel future shipments, I was told to return the unused portion (32 capsules out of 60). It had to be returned insured and with a tracking #. That cost me $3.94 at the post office. The company has since charged me $58.76 while my return is still on its way to them. This is the ONLY time I have ever tried a trial offer and been told to return the product. The recording on their cancellation toll-free # says to give your unused portion to a friend to try, but once you reach a service rep, they tell you to return the product or pay! So, a $4.95 14 day trial has now cost me $67.65 and I only used 28 capsules. They are closed for the weekend, so I'll have to wait until Monday to contact them. Will I get my money back? I'll let you know.

Soy Can Be Hazardous to Your Fertility

From Dr. Douglass

Soy saps sperm count
It appears that Darwinism has stepped in to prevent nature from allowing more soy fans to walk the earth. According to a new report in the Journal of Human Reproduction, consumption of even small amounts of soy products can lower a man's sperm concentration. Of the men in the study, those who ate the most soy had sperm counts far lower than those who reported eating no soy at all. On average, the soy eaters had 41 million fewer sperm per milliliter. The study found that the soy eaters consumed a relatively low amount of 15 soy-based foods including tofu, soy burgers, soy ice cream (yuck), soy energy bars, and even miso soup — an average of just one serving of every other day. And remember, if the vegetarian Nazis had their way, everyone would be eating soy at practically EVERY MEAL! Of course, the soy advocates are saying this reduction in sperm is no big deal (they must be women…). They claim that if you apply this 41 million sperm per milliliter reduction to a man with an average sperm count (in the range of 80 to 120 million sperm per milliliter), that a man is still left with a sperm count that's "well above" the 20 million sperm per milliliter that's the minimum count within the normal range. That's just pure rationalization in the face of the facts if you ask me. The study's lead researcher Jorge Chavarro of the Harvard School of Public Health claims that other studies have found that soy consumption actually boosts sperm counts (I doubt it). As a result, he says, "I think there is not enough evidence to reach any strong conclusion or advise men one way or the other on whether soy foods can affect their fertility." Nonsense! None of this should be a surprise. In addition to all of the other negatives about soy that I'm always telling you about, the isoflavones in soy have long been tied to infertility in animal studies. So why should humans be any different? Take my advice: steer clear of soy if you want to keep your health – or start a family.

Milk for Weight Control?

A new reason to drink milk has been receiving attention in the news recently. Although the research is still in its early stages, some studies are finding that people who consume more calcium, particularly in the form of milk and other dairy products, tend to weigh less as they age. This is good news for milk lovers. And it may even get your teen to think about reaching for a glass of milk instead of a soda the next time he or she opens the refrigerator door.

New Research on Dairy and Weight
In the August 2004 issue of the Journal of Nutrition, researchers at the University of Hawaii reported on a study that analyzed how dairy and soda consumption affect weight and body fat among a group of teenage Asian and Caucasian girls.
The girls ranged in age from 9 to 14, and consumed about one and a half servings of dairy a day-well below the recommended three servings a day. Most of the dairy consumed was in the form of milk. Girls who drank soda averaged one large (22-ounce) bottle a day.
The authors found that some of the girls who drank milk instead of soda tended to weigh less and have lower levels of body fat, but this association was only noted in the Asian girls, who were already very thin on average. Still, the more milk they drank, the greater the effect on their weight. In contrast, girls who drank large amounts of soda tended to be heavier and have more body fat.
These findings join earlier studies that have shown similar results among other age groups. When factors like age, activity level, and total calories eaten are held steady, more and more studies are indicating that children and adults who consume more dairy products and calcium tend to have lower body weights than those in comparison groups. Keeping calcium levels high also appears to help people on diets lose weight more quickly.
