in the May issue of "Consumer Reports", there is a article reviewing "12 Dangerous Supplements" that are still being used in many health care products and supplements. We contacted Watkins Nutrition Specialist, Brenda Koth about this. We are happy to share with you what Brenda reported back to us: "There is one ingredient on the list called skullcap which is in Mood Plus but it is a very, very small amount and does not have side effects or harmful effects in the amount in Mood Plus." Check out the list yourself and compare it to any other supplements you may have in your home! Click on the link above

that Watkins Liquid Spices are not only handy and economical, but are healthy, too?! Their grapeseed oil base and pure extracted essential oils, not only add wonderful flavour and aroma, they also help to control cholesterol!

Watkins Waterless Hand Cleaner is NOT one of those "gritty", harsh cleaners that you may be used to?! The hard working cleaner is blended into a gentle lotion formula that softens while it cleans!

that Mother's Day originated from the efforts of a devoted daughter in Grafton, West Virginia in 1908? Miss Anne Jarvis believed that grown children, preoccupied with their own families, too often neglect their mother. After the death of her mother in 1905, Anne was grief-stricken and wanted to do something to make up for all the things she felt she had neglected to do for her mother during her life. On the second Sunday in May, on the anniversary of her mother's death, she invited a group of friends to her home where she announced her idea of an annual nationwide celebration to be called Mother's Day. This was met with unanimous support and the idea spread. The very first Mother's Day service was held on Sunday, May 10, 1908 in Grafton, West Virginia - and the tradition holds until this day, honouring mothers everywhere!

Kitchen Tips and Tricks!

Red bell peppers (and chiles) have more Vitamin C than green or orange peppers. All pepper are nutritious - a green bell has twice as much vitamin C as an orange; a red one has three times as much!

Salsa isn't just a dip for chips. Use salsas to jazz up your favourite green salad or vegetables; wake up plain chicken breasts, grilled meats or fish; or instead of fat-laden gravies and sauces.

Chile or chili? The various native Caribbean and Central and South American peoples had their own word for the Capsicum pepper. That Nahuatl Indians of southern Mexico called it chilli. The Spanish in Mexico changed it to chile, and it was later Americanized as chili.

Since Mexico is considered the home of these peppers, and "chile" is the spelling used by Mexicans, this is generally accepted as correct. "Chili," on the other hand, is correctly used only to refer, in short form, to the popular meat stew of Texas origin, chile con carne.
