Take Action:

* Boycott "Whole Foods" Grocery Stores: Their CEO is against Health
Care Reform. Also, Whole Foods is blocking unionization. Check out
Trader Joe's instead. Due to the boycott & pressure from stockholders,
their CEO has stepped down; But, remains on the Board. Further, Whole
Foods has made no retraction of these anti-Healthcare reform comments &
continues to support Republican agenda. * Boycott Exxon OIL. Do
not purchase their GAS. "Exxon scored as the worst company for the LGBT
to work for!" In fact, before Exxon purchased Mobil Oil, Mobile had
same gender partner benefits. Well, that changed for those employees
when Exxon purchased Mobil - as same gender-partner benefits went out
the door! Therefore, as we have choices, we don't need Exxon. *
Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX
NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist,
and is anti-gay rights. * Call the White House and let them know
you are angry about the situation in UGANDA. Uganda legislation calls
for the Death Penalty for Gay People and mandatory Jail Sentence for
anyone who does not report someone they know who is Gay! This is
Genocide! Tel. the White House at 1-202-456-1111 ...., Fax White House
@ FAX: 202-456-2461 . Contact your local LGBT Community Center and see
what they can do to express your/their anger!
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ObamaBiden2008/join> * We demand
immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.

Diet & Fitness:

* Did you complete your Diet Journal today? Get it done! * Did
you do any physical activity? If not, make a point of it by tomorrow!

Today's Health/Excercise Tip: Regular teeth brushing linked to
healthier hearts May 28, 2010; LONDON (Reuters) - People who don't
brush their teeth twice a day have an increased risk of heart disease,
scientists said on Friday, adding scientific weight to 19th century
theories about oral health and chronic disease.
British researchers studied nearly 12,000 adults in Scotland and found
those with poor oral hygiene had a 70 percent extra risk of heart
disease compared with those who brushed twice a day and who were less
likely to have unhealthy gums.

People with gum disease are more likely to develop heart disease and
diabetes because inflammation in the body, including in the mouth and
gums, plays a role in the build up of clogged arteries, said Richard
Watt from University College London, who led the study.

The 70 percent extra risk compares to a 135 percent extra risk of heart
disease in those who smoke, he said.

Although the overall risk was low - with a total of 555 heart attacks or
other serious coronary problems among 11,869 people - the effect of
regular teeth brushing was significant.

"Compared to things like smoking and poor diet, which are obviously the
main risk factors for heart disease, we are not claiming this is in the
same league," Watt said.

The study doesn't prove that brushing your teeth leads to lower heart
disease.

"But ... even after controlling for all those things there is a still a
relationship between this very simple measure of tooth brushing and
heart condition," Watt told Reuters.

OLD THEORIES

"In a way, it's really quite an old story, because back in the early
19th century there was a theory called focal sepsis, and people believed
that infections in the mouth caused disease in the whole body," Watt
said.

"As a result, they used to take everyone's teeth out."

Watt said such a response was "a bit dramatic", but his findings did
suggest that twice-a-day brushing was a good idea.

Gum or periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding
and supporting the teeth and is more likely to occur in people who do
not brush their teeth regularly.

Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women in Europe, the
United States and many other rich nations and together with diabetes,
accounted for almost a third of all deaths around the world in 2005,
according to the World Health Organisation.

The teeth brushing study published on Friday in the British Medical
Journal was the first to investigate whether the simple number of times
someone brushes their teeth daily has any bearing on the risk of heart
disease.

The results showed oral health behaviours were generally good, with 62
percent of participants saying they visited the dentist every six months
and 71 percent reporting they brushed their teeth twice a day.

Once the data were adjusted for other known heart risk factors such as
social class, obesity, smoking and family history of heart disease,
those who reported less frequent teeth brushing had a 70 percent extra
risk of heart disease compared to those who brushed twice a day.

Blood tests on those with poor oral hygiene were also positive for two
factors called C-reactive protein and fibrinogen - both of which signal
inflammation in the body.

Endorses Giannoulias After Kirk Votes Against DADT Repeal By Carlos
Santoscoy / Published: May 30, 2010 / On Top Magaine
The Human Right Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest gay rights
advocate, has pulled its endorsement of Illinois Rep. Mark Kirk after he
voted against repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the 1993 law that
forbids gay troops from revealing their sexuality.

Instead, the group threw its support behind Illinois Treasurer Alexi
Giannoulias, Kirk's Democratic challenger for the Illinois Senate seat
being vacated by Democrat Roland Burris.

Kirk, considered a moderate gay ally for his backing of a federal hate
crimes law that includes sexual orientation and gender identity and the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a bill that would outlaw
workplace LGBT discrimination, won the group's backing over an openly
gay Democratic candidate in 2004.

On Thursday, the Naval Reserve officer voted against attaching to the
defense budget an amendment that would repeal the gay ban.

"While many lawmakers stood on the right side of history in voting to
end Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' Rep. Kirk voted to maintain discrimination
that hurts our national security," Joe Solmonese, president of HRC, said
in announcing the group's endorsement.

The following day, Kirk voted in favor of the $700 billion defense bill,
which included the repeal amendment, one of the few House Republicans to
do so.

"Alexi Giannoulias is the progressive leader Illinois needs," Solmonese
said.

"As the next senator from the great state of Illinois, I will lead the
fight for equality - for marriage equality, for an end to DOMA, for
employment non-discrimination, and for immigration reform that treats
same-sex couples fairly," Giannoulias said.

The endorsement could prove critical as candidates attempt to pull ahead
in the neck-in-neck race.

Ironically, Kirk was accused of being gay and in the pocket of gay
rights groups by Andy Martin, his GOP primary opponent, in January.
Allegations Kirk has denied.
