Do you Kindle?

This is a little off topic, but part of being healthy is having fun and exercising your mind, right?

In that spirit I have to say I'm having the greatest time with my Kindle and now they have a new one!

Mine is very easy to use. The screen is great and the ability to change the font size is useful. I also really like the built in dictionary so I can look up words instantly. The choices of books is huge and getting larger every day. They also have a blog and offer very good free books quite often.

It seems everyone is getting on the Kindle bandwagon. Recently I read a new book by Stephen King called UR written specifically for the Kindle about the Kindle. It was short, only $2.99 and a great read! I'm not normally a Stephen King fan but this was great.

So if you haven't yet, go check it out. The new one has arrived.

Peanut Butter Crunch Bars are safe and salmonella-free

This was just published by USANA and provides us with confidence that USANA manufactures products You Can Trust!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced concerns regarding salmonella contamination of peanut butter and peanut butter products. Be assured that these warnings do not apply to USANA’s Peanut Butter Crunch Nutrition Bar.

USANA does not source its peanut butter ingredients from the supplier that the FDA has identified as a source of salmonella contamination. In addition, USANA conducts microbiological tests on each finished batch of Peanut Butter Crunch bars as well as on the raw ingredients that go into the product. The tests we conduct include specific assays for salmonella, as well as for other common microbiological contaminants.

We will continue to keep abreast of this situation. But importantly, USANA Associates and customers can be confident that their USANA products have been thoroughly tested and are salmonella-free. Please know that safety and quality are USANA's top priorities, which is why you can always count on receiving Nutritionals You Can Trust.

Sincerely, USANA Research & Development
