It is targeted to women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer, and is one of several new products coming onto the market specifically to address the changes in the way food tastes to cancer patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Chemotherapy in breast cancer patients often causes a loss in taste or a change of taste that leads to a lower intake of nutrients that patients need during their treatment,\" says Dr. Karolína Hovorková, an oncologist who has been distributing samples of Mamma Beer to her patients at Onkocentrum clinic in Prague since April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research from the Netherlands' Wageningen University confirms that \u003ca href=\"https://www.wur.nl/en/project/Changes-to-sense-of-taste-and-smell-in-cancer-patients.htm\">taste disturbance\u003c/a> in cancer patients can not only interfere with their overall nutritional status but may also affect treatment and recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in a country with an annual beer consumption of over 140 liters per capita, where a draft beer can cost less than a bottle of water in restaurants, it should come as no surprise that some doctors here see a drop of truth in the Czech proverb, \u003cem>Pivo je lék\u003c/em>: Beer is medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hovorková is one of them. She believes beer can boost vitamin intake, aid digestion, and stimulate the appetite and suggests a small amount to patients before and after treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Science has yet to prove the actual health benefits of opening a cold one during chemo, but current research does support the idea that drinking beer in moderation can be good for your health. The brew has been shown to \u003ca href=\"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf204306z\">get the gastric juices flowing\u003c/a>, which can mean better digestion. Findings from the Francis Crick Institute in London show that alcohol \u003ca href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14014\">triggers\u003c/a> hunger-inducing neurons in mice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Jana Drexlerová, enjoying beer, let alone many of her favorite foods, was out of the question when she underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After chemotherapy, everything tasted like sand,\" says Drexlerová, who also suffered painful mouth lesions that prevented her from eating. \"When I finally got my appetite back, all I could eat was cold tomato soup, and even that was flavorless.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drexlerová is now the CEO of nonprofit breast-cancer advocacy group \u003ca href=\"http://www.mammahelp.cz/\">Mamma HELP\u003c/a>, a counseling and support center. She's also the creative force behind Mamma Beer. Back in 1999, she and her team created a pink lager for a fundraiser.

That's mainly because it is a cornerstone of the shift to genetically modified crops, many of which have been modified to tolerate glyphosate.

In 2006, Cathryn Couch was working as a chef, making home-delivery meals for clients. One day, a friend called and asked: did Couch have any cooking jobs for her teenage daughter? She didn’t, but the friend persisted. Couch eventually came up with a project for her and the daughter: making meals and delivering them to a local homeless center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After seeing how excited and proud the daughter was after making the meals, Couch decided to replicate their lesson on a grander scale, and in 2007, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ceres Community Project\u003c/a> was born. Named for the Roman goddess of agriculture and nurturing, the Sonoma County-based program recruited teen volunteers to cook healthy, all-organic meals and deliver them to local patients with cancer and other debilitating conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program took off. That first year, 21 volunteers made 4,500 meals. In 2015, they had over 400 volunteers who prepared over 90,000 meals. They came out with \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/cookbook/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">a cookbook.\u003c/a> They expanded the program, to Marin and Sonoma Valley, and helped launch \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/affiliateBecoming.html\" target=\"_blank\">similar programs\u003c/a> in cities like Eugene, Oregon and Madison, Wisconsin. They partnered with Whole Foods: all the Whole Foods stores in Sonoma and Marin counties sell salads made by Ceres, with a dollar from each pint of salad going back to the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, the group has expanded into the East Bay. In February, the Ceres Project opened up \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/contactAlameda.html\" target=\"_blank\">in Alameda\u003c/a>, in conjunction with the \u003ca href=\"http://apcollaborative.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Alameda Point Collaborative\u003c/a>. (Much of the funding came from a $100,000 bequest earmarked for an East Bay site left by a Walnut Creek woman who passed away from breast cancer. Generally, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/AR2014/AR2014_Financials.html\" target=\"_blank\">their funding\u003c/a> comes from a mix of individual, foundation and in-kind donations.) Teens from the Collaborative--a supportive housing community that offers housing and job training to formerly homeless families that have at least one adult with a permanent disability--cook healthy meals (chickpea pumpkin burgers with date chutney, baked salmon with wild rice) with produce from the one-site garden in an after-school program. Adult volunteers then deliver the meals to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.charlottemaxwell.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Maxwell Clinic\u003c/a> in Oakland, a nonprofit serving women with cancer and their families whose incomes are at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108139\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-108139\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2.jpg\" alt=\"Meals being prepared for clients at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic during the after-school cooking program.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meals being prepared for clients at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic during the after-school cooking program. \u003ccite>(Kim Stuffelbeam, Ceres Community Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Alameda program has already been a success, said Aileen Suzara, the location’s Program Coordinator and Chef. “A lot of the kids, I’m seeing their natural leadership come out in the kitchen. I see a spark from some of the kids,” Suzara said. “They have a sense of how this is really touching someone’s life. The kids are resonating especially with the part of connecting to someone--even if they haven’t met yet--through food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program’s focus on their teen volunteers comes from Couch’s belief in something she once heard from a Buddhist teacher: the most important person in a room is the youngest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“From an upstream prevention standpoint, if we could influence how young people see their relationship with food--if we can make them excited about the impact of their food choices on their own health, on the health of the people that they love and on the planet--then we’re going to help raise a generation of people who will help to shape a healthier food system and a healthier healthcare system,” she said.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ceres is also able to make a bigger impact on how people eat through working with teens, she said. “If we change a young person’s eating habits, that’s going to impact them for 60 years. If we have a client who’s 60 and we impact their eating habits, that’s maybe going to impact them for 20 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the scope of that impact has been surprising, Couch said. When she first started the program, she assumed that the cooking skills the teens learn would be the most valuable part of the program. Instead, “they start to see that they can have power in impacting the world around them through the choices they make with food,” she said. “It’s really about that they matter in the world, that their choices make a difference, and finding that agency in themselves.” That’s especially true in the Alameda program. Many of teens at the Collaborative have spent their lives as the beneficiaries of such services. Seeing that they can have a tangible impact has helped give them a sense of confidence, Couch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the kids at Ceres learn how to cook and eat kale, but the really transformational moment is when they sit with one of our clients and that client says to them, ‘Thank you for helping save my life,’” Couch said. “Because what young people most need is to feel their belonging as part of a community, to feel their ability to actually influence the world around them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-108138\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2.jpg\" alt=\"Teen volunteers eating together after cooking for the Clinic.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teen volunteers eating together after cooking for the Clinic. \u003ccite>(Kim Stuffelbeam, Ceres Community Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While there are other groups in the East Bay that focus on meal delivery for ill clients--\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/04/28/project-open-hand-turns-30-an-iconic-san-francisco-nonprofit-looks-forward/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Open Hand\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedingseniors.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Meals on Wheels\u003c/a>--Ceres occupies a specific place in that landscape. They’re only feeding the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, which isn’t served by any other food groups, and they’re the only group whose meals are all-organic, which they see as the best choice for both their clients and the environment.

In 2006, Cathryn Couch was working as a chef, making home-delivery meals for clients. One day, a friend called and asked: did Couch have any cooking jobs for her teenage daughter? She didn’t, but the friend persisted. Couch eventually came up with a project for her and the daughter: making meals and delivering them to a local homeless center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After seeing how excited and proud the daughter was after making the meals, Couch decided to replicate their lesson on a grander scale, and in 2007, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ceres Community Project\u003c/a> was born. Named for the Roman goddess of agriculture and nurturing, the Sonoma County-based program recruited teen volunteers to cook healthy, all-organic meals and deliver them to local patients with cancer and other debilitating conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program took off. That first year, 21 volunteers made 4,500 meals. In 2015, they had over 400 volunteers who prepared over 90,000 meals. They came out with \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/cookbook/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">a cookbook.\u003c/a> They expanded the program, to Marin and Sonoma Valley, and helped launch \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/affiliateBecoming.html\" target=\"_blank\">similar programs\u003c/a> in cities like Eugene, Oregon and Madison, Wisconsin. They partnered with Whole Foods: all the Whole Foods stores in Sonoma and Marin counties sell salads made by Ceres, with a dollar from each pint of salad going back to the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, the group has expanded into the East Bay. In February, the Ceres Project opened up \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/contactAlameda.html\" target=\"_blank\">in Alameda\u003c/a>, in conjunction with the \u003ca href=\"http://apcollaborative.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Alameda Point Collaborative\u003c/a>. (Much of the funding came from a $100,000 bequest earmarked for an East Bay site left by a Walnut Creek woman who passed away from breast cancer. Generally, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ceresproject.org/AR2014/AR2014_Financials.html\" target=\"_blank\">their funding\u003c/a> comes from a mix of individual, foundation and in-kind donations.) Teens from the Collaborative--a supportive housing community that offers housing and job training to formerly homeless families that have at least one adult with a permanent disability--cook healthy meals (chickpea pumpkin burgers with date chutney, baked salmon with wild rice) with produce from the one-site garden in an after-school program. Adult volunteers then deliver the meals to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.charlottemaxwell.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Maxwell Clinic\u003c/a> in Oakland, a nonprofit serving women with cancer and their families whose incomes are at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108139\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-108139\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2.jpg\" alt=\"Meals being prepared for clients at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic during the after-school cooking program.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image003-2-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meals being prepared for clients at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic during the after-school cooking program. \u003ccite>(Kim Stuffelbeam, Ceres Community Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Alameda program has already been a success, said Aileen Suzara, the location’s Program Coordinator and Chef. “A lot of the kids, I’m seeing their natural leadership come out in the kitchen. I see a spark from some of the kids,” Suzara said. “They have a sense of how this is really touching someone’s life. The kids are resonating especially with the part of connecting to someone--even if they haven’t met yet--through food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program’s focus on their teen volunteers comes from Couch’s belief in something she once heard from a Buddhist teacher: the most important person in a room is the youngest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“From an upstream prevention standpoint, if we could influence how young people see their relationship with food--if we can make them excited about the impact of their food choices on their own health, on the health of the people that they love and on the planet--then we’re going to help raise a generation of people who will help to shape a healthier food system and a healthier healthcare system,” she said.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ceres is also able to make a bigger impact on how people eat through working with teens, she said. “If we change a young person’s eating habits, that’s going to impact them for 60 years. If we have a client who’s 60 and we impact their eating habits, that’s maybe going to impact them for 20 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the scope of that impact has been surprising, Couch said. When she first started the program, she assumed that the cooking skills the teens learn would be the most valuable part of the program. Instead, “they start to see that they can have power in impacting the world around them through the choices they make with food,” she said. “It’s really about that they matter in the world, that their choices make a difference, and finding that agency in themselves.” That’s especially true in the Alameda program. Many of teens at the Collaborative have spent their lives as the beneficiaries of such services. Seeing that they can have a tangible impact has helped give them a sense of confidence, Couch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the kids at Ceres learn how to cook and eat kale, but the really transformational moment is when they sit with one of our clients and that client says to them, ‘Thank you for helping save my life,’” Couch said. “Because what young people most need is to feel their belonging as part of a community, to feel their ability to actually influence the world around them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-108138\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2.jpg\" alt=\"Teen volunteers eating together after cooking for the Clinic.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/image002-2-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teen volunteers eating together after cooking for the Clinic. \u003ccite>(Kim Stuffelbeam, Ceres Community Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While there are other groups in the East Bay that focus on meal delivery for ill clients--\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/04/28/project-open-hand-turns-30-an-iconic-san-francisco-nonprofit-looks-forward/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Open Hand\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedingseniors.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Meals on Wheels\u003c/a>--Ceres occupies a specific place in that landscape.

And according to the experts convened by IARC to make its new evaluation, eating just half that amount of processed meats daily – about 1.8 ounces per day — will increase the risk of colorectal cancer — by about 18 percent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Lancet\u003c/em> paper points out that red meat also contains \"high biological-value proteins and important micronutrients such as B vitamins, iron and zinc.\" And the North American Meat Institute says lots of research points to the benefits of red meat consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Scientific evidence shows cancer is a complex disease not caused by single foods and that a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices are essential to good health,\" writes Barry Carpenter, president of the North American Meat Institute, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.meatinstitute.org/index.php?ht=display/ReleaseDetails/i/116609\">statement\u003c/a> on the new WHO classification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpenter says it's important to put this new classification in context. \"IARC's panel was given the basic task of looking at hazards that meat could pose at some level, under circumstance, but was not asked to consider any off-setting benefits, like the nutrition that meat delivers or the implications of drastically reducing or removing meat from the diet altogether,\" the statement concludes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/102469/bad-day-for-bacon-processed-meats-cause-cancer-who-says","authors":["byline_bayareabites_102469"],"categories":["bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_10916"],"tags":["bayareabites_278","bayareabites_635","bayareabites_2346","bayareabites_15000","bayareabites_13103","bayareabites_14185"],"featImg":"bayareabites_102474","label":"source_bayareabites_102469"},"bayareabites_91183":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_91183","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"91183","score":null,"sort":[1420135377000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"tapping-into-turmerics-superfood-powers","title":"Tapping Into Turmeric's Superfood Powers","publishDate":1420135377,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91202\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/turmeric_bin1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/turmeric_bin1000.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh Turmeric.

That said, if you take other pharmaceuticals regularly, it’s best to ask your doctor because of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/complementaryandalternativemedicine/herbsvitaminsandminerals/turmeric\" target=\"_blank\">the risk of interactions\u003c/a> with substances that are in your system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the only supplement I take daily, says Goel, I don’t even take a multivitamin.” Goel takes a 250mg curcumin capsule daily as a preventative measure, but there are a number of \u003ca href=\"http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/turmeric\" target=\"_blank\">dosage charts\u003c/a> available online, some of which also include suggestions for how much fresh or dried turmeric to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Goel, if you are solely using it in food form, there are no known concerns of eating it multiple times a day – other than flavor fatigue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91199\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/goldenmilk_2-1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/12/goldenmilk_2-1000.jpg\" alt=\"Preparing golden milk using fresh turmeric.
