Skip to comments.Getting the lowdown on low-carb bars
Posted on 09/06/2003 2:02:32 PM PDT by SamAdams76
Diet food makers use a little fancy counting to make snack add up
Riding the popularity of pre-wrapped meals and low-carb diets, low-carbohydrate bars have started elbowing diet shakes and whole-grain cereals off grocers shelves. Even beers and candies are showing up in low-carb versions, indulging the eternal American fantasy of effortless weight loss.
The math behind the label
Removing carbohydrates from a convenience food is no easier than taking the odor out of garlic, so the manufacturers of low-carb bars took another approach. They stopped counting the carbs in artificial sweeteners.
The Atkins Endulge chocolate candy bar, for example, proclaims 2 grams of "net carbs" on the package. The small, 30-gram bar actually has 16 grams of carbohydrates, unthinkably high on restrictive low-carb diets, but the manufacturer subtracts 3 grams of fiber and 11 grams of sugar-alcohol sweetener.
"That's not honest," said Dr. Daniel Preud'Homme, the Children's Medical Center's weight-control expert.
The carbohydrates in sugar alcohols and glycerin sweeteners are more conducive to weight loss than table sugar, and many nutrition experts say the bars can have a limited role in weight loss for some people. But they also say the bars have several health drawbacks, and highlighting the sweeteners carbs ignores the most important distinction among carbs whether they have been refined into white sugar or flour.
Low-carb bars have little purpose except in the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets popularized by Dr. Robert Atkins. The diets are growing in favor with the April publication of The South Beach Diet, Amazon.com's second-ranked book now, and the New England Journal of Medicine's recognition last spring that Atkins dieters tended to lose weight quickly and improve cholesterol levels.
Diets are short-term solutions
But even though dietitians and medical specialists don't routinely paint Atkins with horns anymore, they generally warn low-carb diets should be only a short-term vehicle for people who have life-threatening obesity or need a quick weight loss to get them started for the long run.
"I don't have a problem with using it in the short-term," said Sally Kattau, a longtime licensed dietitian with the Diabetes Association of the Dayton Area. But long-range, she said, it's both difficult to maintain and potentially dangerous, especially for diabetics. "It's not a nutritionally sound diet."
Low-carb diets were a response to the excesses of low-fat diets, with their brightly labeled snacks, desserts and meals. But just as focusing entirely on too much dietary fat led to some weight gains from too many refined carbohydrates, today's blanket reduction of carbs is another oversimplification, said Richard Cohen, the dietitian who directs Greene Memorial Hospital's HMR Weight Management Program.
"We've just gone from one extreme to another," Good Samaritan Hospital dietitian Michelle Kitze said. "People were gaining weight on the low-fat, higher-carb diets, but it wasn't necessarily the amount of carbs. It was the types of carbs. They were eating all kinds of simple sugars, and it was all being converted into fat.
"The big thing I would strongly recommend is not going on a low-carb diet, but instead cutting out the (refined) carbohydrates."
Refined sugars the real villain
The refined carbs in white sugar, breads and pasta are quickly digested, dumping all of their broken-down sugars into the bloodstream at once. The pancreas reacts to the sugar surge with what's called a high insulin response, unleashing the hormone that converts sugar into energy.
"Then after that, your sugar level has a tendency to drop off again and you want that fix again, so people go back to more simple carbs and it just keeps going," said Jane Key, an independent certified dietitian in Oakwood.
Sharp fluctuations in blood sugar can lead to insulin resistance, in which more insulin becomes necessary to break down a given amount of sugars. As many as 60 percent of Americans have the condition, said endocrinologist Dr. David Westbrock, medical director of New Profile Weight Management Center in Washington Twp. It can be a precursor to diabetes, heart disease, gout, high blood pressure, cancer and an increased tendency to convert blood sugar to fat.
"Insulin isn't the only hormone that acts to stimulate appetite, but it's the one we're surest of," Westbrock said. "One of the reasons the Atkins diet has been successful is there's less of that insulin stimulus."
Fiber, unrefined carbs best
The sugar alcohols of low-carb bars, such as sorbitol, maltitol and lactitol, also trigger less of an insulin response than refined carbs. They aren't absorbed as quickly or as thoroughly, so less sugar enters the bloodstream at once and less insulin is needed to break it down. Fiber stimulates even smaller insulin doses, as do the unrefined carbs of whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
The bars' manufacturers, having been ordered by the Food and Drug Administration to include sugar alcohol carbs on the labels, now contend their insulin response is so inconsequential that they can be subtracted completely from "net" or "effective" carbs. Hardly any nutrition experts agree.
"I can go along with subtracting fiber," Key said, "because it really helps stabilize blood sugar and you get all the helpful phytochemicals and vitamins. But sugar alcohol affects your blood sugar, just at a slower rate." It also can cause diarrhea, bloating and abdominal pain after fairly small amounts for some people, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Watch out for fats
"These bars oftentimes have a lot of fat," Kitze said. "Some of them are quite high in trans fats, which are actually even worse for you than saturated fats."
For the sake of convenience, she said, they're an improvement over a bag of chips or candy bar, although at a hefty price of $1.29 to $2.29 a bar in a random sample. But she knows that's not the only way they're used.
"I and many other people in nutrition are concerned about these bars' crowding out whole foods in people's diets," Kitze said. "Fruits and vegetables have phytonutrients which fight everything from cancer to heart disease, and you can only get these nutrients from actual fruits and vegetables."
People shouldn't focus so much on low carbs that they're afraid to eat unrefined carbs "like dried beans and peas, a bowl of lentil soup, or whole grains or a piece of fresh fruit," said Mara Lamb, the New Profile center's licensed dietitian. Nor should they be indifferent to the difference between bacon and butter fats compared with the healthy fats in olive oil, fish oils and nuts.
That's why she's encouraged to see the South Beach diet puts more emphasis on lean meats and healthy fats than other low-carb plans, while accepting more fruits and vegetables.
"For some people," Cohen said, "low-carb diets are the only way they can succeed."
Different people need different foods, Westbrock said. Those with heart disease are especially vulnerable to saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates are worse for the insulin resistant than for others. No matter what fond hopes leap off the best-seller list, he said, "There's no perfect diet for everyone."
If anybody thinks I'm going to add hydrogenated vegetable oils, refined flour, refined sugars, high-fructose corn syrup and starches to my diet so it can be "balanced", forget about it.
Anyway, I agree about the low-carb bars. They are little better than candy bars and many people have "stalled" their weight loss with them. Many of these bars have hydrogenated vegetable oils (trans-fats), and other harmful ingredients. They are nutritionally inferior to "real" foods like meat, fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables, berries, nuts, etc. I'd rather have a 1/2 pint of blueberries than a low-carb snack bar. Sure, there are more carbs in blueberries, but they are rich in antioxidants and other beneficial things and the carbs in blueberries are "low-glycemic" meaning that they won't send a rush of insulin into your body (unless you gobble a whole mess of them). Blueberries are a far superior snack than low-carb bars in my opinion. Blueberries grow on bushes and low-carb bars are developed in a lab and mass-produced on the assembly line with a mile-long list of chemicals and additives.
They are also outrageously expensive. I'd much rather have a handful of smoked almonds, a wedge of cheese or a 1/2 pint of blueberries when I'm in the snacking mood.
Like the article mentioned, you have to read the nutrition label and do the math. I too have noticed that sometimes total calories are more than the total sum of fat, carbs, and protein. When you see that reject the bar- who knows what else is incorrect.
I feel that this is a diet that I can live with. I always gained weight on the low fat diets.
When you REALLY look at the labels on those bars, you get an eyeful. A lab concoction with flavor.
The alcohol sugars are also seen in the 'no-sugar' candies that are coming out all over the place, in all brands. That's fine if you have a sweet tooth and can stick to one serving, but ---- go over the few small pieces in 'one serving' and those sugar alcohols, which by-pass the digestive process, go straight to the gut and can ruin your day.
I'm always suspicious of who is making a negative comment on lo-carb anything. It always seems to be someone in the nutrition or dietetic fields. Everyone has an agenda, and I never know who is in it for their own furtherance. (is there such a word?)
Low-carb is easy, once you've detoxed all the sugars out of your system. Good food, the way it used to be, is the way to go.
One other thing, while I'm at it ---- The term "lo-carb" is being tossed around as tho it is a negative thing. The term should be "proper-carb. That describes these diets better.
A peach, minus the water, is 90 percent sugar. Half the sugar is sucrose (cane sugar), 1/4th glucose (blood sugar requiring no digestion), 1/4th fructose (an isomer of glucose). Nutritionally, it is similar to eating 2 fun size Snickers candy bars with a glass of water. I don't get where fruitarians come up with modern non-naturally occurring high-fructose fruit being healthy for you. If someone can explain this to me Im all ears.
Since April 1st, I have dropped 75.2 pounds. This is as of my last weighing last Sunday morning. I weigh myself tomorrow so that total is sure to increase then.
Exercise is a major component of my plan. I do two daily walks of 3 miles or more. One in the morning before breakfast and another one at lunchtime. Keeps the metabolism cranking.
I get fed up with people who say that a low-carb diet is "unbalanced" and have the perception it is some wacked-out "all-meat" diet. I have more vegetables than I ever did before in my life. When you aren't having side-dishes of rice and potato all the time, you are more inclined to have vegetables.
Loved your peach info. You'd think people would know. Eat a peach and your hand afterwards feels like it had just been stuck in a vat of honey.
Snickers bars have peanuts in them. Would your comparison be more appropriate with something like, say.. Two Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (I trust the peanut butter isn't real). Heh.
Beware if "nutritional experts" who never listened to Dr. Atkins for thirty years. They can't accept that they have been preaching balony for years.
DUH! Your mother told you this with fewer words, when you were peeing in your crib!
People shouldn't focus so much on low carbs that they're afraid to eat unrefined carbs "like dried beans and peas, a bowl of lentil soup, or whole grains or a piece of fresh fruit," said Mara Lamb, the New Profile center's licensed dietitian. Nor should they be indifferent to the difference between bacon and butter fats compared with the healthy fats in olive oil, fish oils and nuts. ..........
DUH! hitting forehead with palm... suddenly a light came on... sheeesh
"For some people," Cohen said, "low-carb diets are the only way they can succeed."
DUH! Why in the hell did it take so long for these morons to admit this?
.........Different people need different foods, Westbrock said. Those with heart disease are especially vulnerable to saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates are worse for the insulin resistant than for others. No matter what fond hopes leap off the best-seller list, he said,
DUH! Stricken with the obvious, but did it take a Ph.D. to figure that out?
"There's no perfect diet for everyone."
DUH! This is the closest thing to an admission that they (the pencil necked geeks) may have caused millions of people to become obese with their obstinate refusal to at least admit Atkins was on to something 30 years ago, even if it needed some tweaking.. Their admission may have come too late for too many.. but not too late for others... but they still won't say it, not without this adolescent escape clause! "There's no perfect diet for everyone."
However, it occurs to me that the stuff you eat on Adkins is what you are *meant* to eat, what your body was designed for. Consider mankind in the pre-historic era, the diet was berries and other animals. It's far more natural than any of the other diets that make you load up on carbs.
I'm particularly disgusted when I remember the public school education showing us the "food triangle" with carbs taking up the top tier - particularly those with a high glicemic index.
You are not kidding about the sweet tooth thing. I have been a all carbs all the time kind of guy for most of my life. I went on the Atkins last September and lost 40 lbs. before Xmas. It took about 2-3 weeks for me to detox from the sugar based diet that I had been on for so long. After that, it was not that difficult to stick with and it was the first diet that allowed me to maintain a stable energy level throughout the day. I did find that the Atkins bars did slow my weight loss so I stopped using them except for once a week or so.
Unfortunately, I returned to my old ways after Xmas due to a lack of money (good food isn't cheap but a cup of ramen noodles is $.34) and due to the stress of looming bankruptcy, unemployment, a failing business, and the associated depression that seems to follow. I did finally get a good job that starts this week and I will go back to the Atkins as soon as I get a paycheck. I put on over 50 lbs since January. (D'oh)
These products may cause more people to fail the "Atkins Diet" (Low Carb Lifestyle) because these people will never learn how good the absence of cravings for "something sweet" feels. People may be less likely to stick to their eating plan because these products keep them a step closer to diving into real carb / sugar-dense food.
The low-carb candy might be like giving "Near Beer" to an alcoholic. It will be interesting to see if people continue to be successful with low carbing, now that all these products have hit the shelves.
Then again, they could also be viewed like nicotine gum for smokers. A temporary substitue with less of the addictive drug, which makes it easier to wean oneself off of the sugar rather than going full-bore cold turkey.
If I am going to break down, perhaps sugar alcohol candy as an emergency stop-gap is better then diving into the real thing! Actually, I know this is the case for me, but at the same time, as long as I'm consuming the low carb bars, candy, etc., I don't feel as if I've stabilized my blood sugar levels.
Correct. I've always wondered about flour and wheat products. Take a raw stalk of wheat out of the ground and consider it. Darn it, people, it is simply NOT food! You have to pulverize it, add water, add yeast, add sugar, add oil, and who knows what else, then stick it in a furnace, to turn it into something palatable! Bread, in it's most simplistic, "wholesome" form, even home-baked bread, is a "manufactured" food.
Wheat is not food, any more than the dirt it grows in. It is a weed, and an ugly one at that! Grains are the scourge of the earth in my opinion.
I figure that when I start maintenance, I will stay away from sugar, white flour and rice. I should be able to maintain. I will follow more the sugarbusters diet for maintenance. You can have an occasional sweet potato and brown rice.
I have only had bread two or three times since April and then, only a small piece rubbed in olive oil at dinner. My bread cravings are gone and it was almost instantaneous. I used to have eggs and bacon in the morning but now I have eggs and yogurt. I still make bacon occasionally for salad toppings or to wrap around scallops (delicious).
If you absolutely must have toast, try whole wheat or that brand of bread recommended earlier in this thread. Beware of supermarket "wheat" breads however. Many of them are little different than white bread.
This is the classic example of why low-fat diets are disastrous for many people. When your body does not get the calories and fat that it needs, it begins to "slow down" so as to conserve it's energy. Any carbs you take in are immediately converted to fat for later use. Your body is essentially in "starvation mode." Your metabolism slows down and as you say, every calorie you take in seems to count double! Now when you give up on the diet and go back to your regular way of eating, you put all the weight back on and then some, because remember, your metabolism is now running slower. This is why so many people end up even heavier than they were before they started.
BTW, the human body does this as a defense mechanism against famine, something that human beings dealt with on a regular basis up until recent times. It is never a good idea to starve yourself on one of those low-fat diets.
What makes low-carb diets (such as Atkins) so successful is that you are not going hungry. Your body is satisfied and has no reason to panic and slow its metabolism down. If exercise is combined with the diet, your metabolism actually increases and you burn off fat even faster.
Sucralose is in a lot of stuff, and after reading the articles about it, I wouldn't recommend anyone touch it. It's really still untested over long term use and has some pretty toxic byproducts and potential risk. Here's some info:

How speak Works
Formulated by a pediatrician and noted researcher, the speak® formulation includes seven nutrients in precise servings and ratios for children with special nutritional needs. Each serving of speak® contains concentrated, ultra-purified omega-3 (725 mg EPA, 275 mg DHA) in addition to rich amounts of two forms of vitamin E. Omega-3 supports cognitive function and is paired with the antioxidant vitamin E. Optimal amounts of both d-alpha and gamma tocopherols function as key antioxidants and operate along omega-3 fats to support neurological health and provide essential nutrition. Due to the theoretical blood thinning effects of omega-3 and vitamin E, vitamin K (a normal and healthy blood clotting nutrient) is also included. This precise combination of purified ingredients is delivered in convenient 2-capsule or 2-twist capsule servings, Pure Oil which can be poured directly from the bottle, or our delicious speak® Smooth in a 1 Tbsp serving resulting in greater ease of use for parents and children.
Our new generation twists, Pure Oil, and Smooth contain our refined formulation which includes 800 IU of vitamin D3 per serving and our speak+d Pure Oil contains 400 IU of vitamin D3. Experts agree that vitamin D3 in certain populations is of particular importance and benefit.† The vitamin D3 contained in the speak formulations is non-corn, non-soy, non-GMO, and organic.

speak® Formulation
Parents were looking for nutritional support for their children with special nutritional needs
Parents began supplementing their children with purified essential omega-3 fatty acids. These parents were able to exchange information via the internet, support each other, and share their successes. Their tenacious spirits and positive experiences illuminated useful information that contributed to further research.
A noted pediatrician became involved
Knowing the benefits of omega-3 fats, a noted pediatrician directed her investigative skills to go further. As a result of her work and discoveries, she developed the precise formula that led to the patent-pending formulation, now available as speak®.
The speak® formulation was exclusively licensed to NourishLife from Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland (CHRCO).
After the formulation was developed and pending patent, NourishLife researched and identified the purest ingredients in their appropriate forms for optimal absorption and utilization. Because this supplement was created for children, many with sensory and allergy issues, the ingredients had to be of the highest quality.
Knowing that parents were struggling to find and combine the 7 different nutrients included in the speak® formulation, NourishLife simplified the process by combining all into one easy to use supplement. NourishLife speak® is the only product of its kind.
Based on the latest science, data, and expert opinion, our new generation speak twists now contain the refined formulation which includes 800 IU of vitamin D3 per serving. Much research has been conducted regarding the importance of D3 and child development.
NourishLife speak® contains highly purified and concentrated nutrients. The omega-3 contained in speak® is sourced from wild caught, sustainable, exceptionally pure omega-3 concentrates. Utilizing the utmost care and precision in manufacturing and analyzing omega-3 concentrates, the omega-3 meets or exceeds all US and EU standards for purity, complies with California Prop 65, and meets and exceeds the GOED Monograph (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3). This ensures that the speak® formulation contains the purest grade oils with a precise ratio of EPA and DHA.
speak does not contain:
- Mercury
- PCBs
- Heavy Metals
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Pesticides
- Gluten
- Saturated fats
- Trans-fats
- Mold
- Artificial flavors
- Artificial colors
- Artificial sweeteners
- Mystery "filler" ingredients
Ultra-purified and Concentrated
We know the source: Our principal supplier can certify when and where the fish is caught. The approved fishery has been certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council since 2005 (and recertified in 2010). The processing plant is built specifically for fish oil production, and it is thoroughly sanitized and fully automated with a computerized control center.
Time and temperature matter: High-grade fish oil cannot be heated above 180 degrees C because trans fats and impurities begin to form and the omega-3 fats can be altered. High-grade fish oil should not be exposed to heat for more than a few seconds. To maintain exceptional product integrity, we use a very low pressure vacuum and temperatures below 100 degrees for less than one second.
- Our product is highly concentrated: Our fish oil is moleculary distilled and refined to a high concentration of EPA and DHA omega-3s, making our oil a potent source of 1000 mgs per serving of these healthy, essential fats required for human health. Finally, d-alpha and gamma tocopherol (vitamin E) antioxidants are added. Our fish oil is held in an oxygen-free environment during the entire process. Our fish oil is then packaged and sealed immediately, ensuring its freshness and potency. Our product is guaranteed to be top-quality, delivering all the benefits of omega-3 in an effective, convenient capsule, Pure Oil, or emulsion.
What are Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
Omega-3 fats are unique and essential dietary fats. They are not made in the body and must be consumed through diet and supplements. EPA and DHA are the omega-3 fats found in fish and fish oil and are considered the most functional omega-3 fats. While some consider omega-3 fats to be a vitamin because they are required in the diet, they are not formally recognized as vitamins. Instead, they are called essential dietary fats.
EPA and DHA work individually and together to support neurological function and improve cellular activity. Both EPA and DHA work in cell membranes. Healthy cellular metabolism is central (i.e. critical) for normal functioning of all biological (i.e. human) pathways. Specifically, EPA resides in cell membranes and supports healthy cellular metabolism. There is no dietary substitute for DHA. DHA is required for normal and healthy brain and nerve development and maintenance.†

What is vitamin E?
Vitamin E is a family of fat-soluble vitamins that work in the body primarily as antioxidants. They are considered valuable and important vitamins for this reason. The richest food sources of vitamin E are nuts and oils.
While 8 forms of vitamin E exist in various amounts in foods (4 forms of tocopherols and 4 forms of tocotrienols), nearly all of the research in humans has focused on the d-alpha tocopherol form. It exists in the body in the greatest amount. More recently, we have learned about the importance of gamma-tocopherol and the importance of balance between these 2 forms of vitamin E.†
About d-alpha tocopherol:
- It is transported and stored in blood and tissues and this is where it works as an antioxidant.
- As an antioxidant it protects body tissues (cells) from damage that occurs as a result of normal metabolism. Our bodies, as living organs, are constantly in a state of flux and d-alpha tocopherol is simply a part of the machinery designed to maintain health and normal regeneration of cells. Said another way, d-alpha tocopherol protects cells from oxidation.
- As an antioxidant, it works to prevent oxidation of other fats, such as fish oil, and thereby supports cellular health.
- It also works to maintain healthy blood vessels.
- It is measured in International Units (IU) and is the form of vitamin E included in the Dietary Reference Intake.
- It is available in natural (d-alpha) or synthetic (d,l-alpha) forms.†
About gamma-tocopherol:
- Like d-alpha tocopherol, it works as an antioxidant but gamma-tocopherol is structurally different from d-alpha and works in different pathways in the body.
- Supplementing with d-alpha tocopherol increases the need for gamma-tocopherol and supplementing with both improves the function of both.
- It is measured in milligram (mg) units.†
Why are both d-alpha and gamma-tocopherols in speak?
speak® has been carefully formulated to provide an optimal amount of both d-alpha and gamma tocopherols that are important for individuals with certain nutritional needs. Although the reasons are unclear today, emerging yet inconclusive research indicates that some individuals may have an increased need for both of these antioxidants. Further, d-alpha and gamma tocopherols may improve the actions of omega-3 fats and act as potent antioxidants. speak® contains the natural forms of d-alpha and gamma tocopherol.†
In summary: d-alpha and gamma work together as key antioxidants and along with omega-3 fats support neurological health and provide essential nutrition.†
What is vitamin K?
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin with various functions in the body. In the past 10 years, we've learned that vitamin K has roles in maintaining heart and bone health, as well as being a critical component for normal and healthy blood clotting. There are 3 forms of vitamin K, but only K1 and K2 are consumed by humans as vitamins. They both have unique and important functions.†
Why is vitamin K in speak?
Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are included in speak® primarily to maintain nutrient balance. This is particularly important with long-term supplementation. It is important to support a proper balance between vitamins E and K. speak® contains the natural forms of vitamins K1 and K2.†
What is GLA?
GLA (gamma linolenic acid) is an omega-6 fatty acid derived from borage oil, and it works to support the EPA and DHA found in omega-3 fish oil. The original formulation of speak contains 60 mg/serving of GLA.†
I'm interested in new speak® + vitamin D. How does this differ from the original formulation?
Vitamin D, known as the sunshine vitamin due to the fact that our skin cells can use sunlight to synthesize vitamin D, is an essential vitamin that may be lacking in some individuals due to their diet or their inaccessibility to sunlight especially in Northern winter climates. Much research has been published on the benefits of vitamin D and child development. The speak®+d formulation in the twist capsules supplies 800 IU of vitamin D per serving and the speak+d in Pure Oil supplies 400 IU per serving offering a greater number of nutrients in a concentrated serving. Parents who are watchful of their children maintaining optimal levels of vitamin D due to geographical, personal, or seasonal reasons enjoy the additional supplementation and convenience of speak+d. †
Some basics on the speak product:
Serving size: 2 capsules, 3 mL of oil, or 1 Tbsp of speak® Smooth, providing 7 concentrated and purified nutrients, for ease and convenience.
Flavor: Based on results from tasting panels, orange was selected for the speak® Smooth and twists, and lemon was selected for the Pure Oil. The capsules are unflavored.
Amount of flavor: We avoided over-flavoring speak® so that it can be easily blended into foods, such as yogurts, pudding, etc. We wanted enough flavor to give a pleasant but mild taste.
Purity: We use the highest quality ingredients to keep speak® pure and hypo-allergenic.
Cost: speak® costs significantly less than purchasing the ingredients individually.
Vitamin E: speak® contains increased amounts of vitamin E to provide important antioxidant support and protection for growing nerve and brain cells. Among other things, the vitamin E may enable the essential omega-3 and 6 fats to work better by protecting against oxidation. Almost all fish oil products contain a small amount of vitamin E as a natural preservative which provides virtually no physiological benefits. The higher amount of vitamin E found in speak® addresses the nutritional needs of certain individuals and is an important component of the unique speak® formulation.†

After two weeks, you may increase intake to 1 capsule 3 times daily. And after another 2 weeks, you may increase intake to 2 capsules twice daily until reaching a possible dosage of 3 capsules (4.5 mL or 1.5 Tbsps) twice per day. If your child has never taken omega-3 or vitamin E in supplement form, start with 1 capsule (1.5 mL or 1/2 Tbsp of Smooth) of speak daily. After 2 weeks, you may increase the serving to 1 capsule twice daily until reaching a possible serving of 3 capsules twice daily over 12 weeks continuing at that dosage going forward. If you believe that your child will benefit from additional supplementation above 4 capsules, regardless of previous omega-3 supplementation, check with your healthcare practitioner (eg: Registered Dietitian, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Naturopathic Doctor, Doctor of Osteopathy, Medical Doctor).†
When should I give the speak® supplement?
It is preferable to give the speak® supplement throughout the day during a child's most active time – in the morning and afternoon. Start with the morning meal and whether you give 2 or 4 capsules daily (or more under a clinician's care), divide the serving over the day. For example, 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 with an afternoon snack. If your child is in school, you can ask your school nurse to administer the supplements. Depending on your state, you may need a note for your child's doctor. If you are not able to provide supplements throughout the day, administer the entire serving in the morning.†
Why is it recommended to give speak® for at least 4 months?
Different children respond at different times and with different servings. It's important to slowly titrate your child to the recommended serving. Experts believe that while blood plasma levels can increase within hours after consuming omega-3, changes in the red cell membranes and in the brain can take 3 to 4 months. Optimal benefits may best be realized with proper servings and adequate time.†
My child cannot swallow capsules. How can I provide the speak® supplement to my child?
speak® Smooth is a delicious way to administer the speak® supplement. The flavor tastes like an orange push-up or dreamsicle, and the texture is that of a creamy smoothie. Our Pure Oil has a light lemon flavor and can be poured directly from the bottle and mixed into any non-heated foods or beverages. The speak® twist capsule is a great alternative for children who can't or won't swallow capsules. Simply twist or snip the end of the capsule and squirt the oil directly into your child's mouth or blend the contents with any non-heated food or beverage. The standard softgel capsule can be pierced as well. Because the taste is mild, your child may chew on the capsule(s) of speak® supplement to extract the nutrients and either swallow the empty capsule or spit it out. Alternately, you may pierce the contents of the capsule with a clean pin and squirt the oil onto a non-plastic spoon. Or you may blend the contents of the capsule in a small amount of a non-heated food such as nut butters, smoothies, applesauce, mashed banana or avocado, and yogurt. Be certain that your child consumes the entire amount of the blended food to get the full benefit of the capsule contents. Blending with food and serving on a spoon or in a small cup is easiest. And please only use non-plastic dishware as the oil may stain plastic.

Why do you need to take the speak® supplement with foods containing fat?
The fat-soluble contents – omega-3 and vitamins E and K – of the speak® supplement are better absorbed with foods containing fat. Suggestions include coconut milk, avocado, nut butters (almond, cashew), peanut butter, nuts, seeds, egg yolks, fish, poultry, beef, pork, and lamb. For those not on a casein restricted diet (a protein in dairy products that many children cannot tolerate), yogurt, whole milk, cheese, and pudding are also good fat-containing choices.†
I've noticed that the speak® Pure Oil bottle doesn't seem quite full. Does it contain as many servings as the other speak® products?
Each of the speak® offerings (capsules, twists, Smooth, and Pure Oil) contain the same number of servings per bottle or box.
speak® Pure Oil is purposely not filled to the top so that any oxygen in the bottle can be extracted during bottling to keep the oil as fresh as possible. Omega-3 in liquid oil forms are prone to oxidation when exposed to air. To make sure that the oil stays as fresh as the day it was bottled until opened, a small amount of room is left in the bottle to allow a nitrogen blanket to cover the oil and prevent oxidation.
What are the nutritional ingredients in the speak® supplement and why are they included?
Omega-3 fatty acids -- EPA (725 mg) and DHA (275 mg):
All fats are made of fatty acids, which are classified as either saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. Omega-3 fatty acids are in the polyunsaturated family. Within the category of omega-3 fatty acids, two called EPA (eicosapentanoic) and DHA (docosahexanoic) are considered the most functional, working both individually and together.†
Vitamin E -- d-alpha(500 IU) and gamma (200 mg) tocopherols:
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in nature in eight different forms, classified as tocopherols or tocotrienols. The primary function of vitamin E is to prevent oxidation of the fat-containing outer layer of cells. This is particularly important in cells with a high polyunsaturated content such as neurons, or nerve cells. Vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol increases the need for vitamin E as gamma-tocopherol and both work synergistically. These forms of vitamin E appear to enhance the health impact of omega-3 fats. For these reasons, the speak® supplement contains vitamin E.†
Vitamin K (2.3 mg):
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that occurs in nature as vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. The main role of vitamin K is to assist in blood clotting and bone mineralization. Because it is important to support a proper balance between vitamins E and K, the speak® supplement contains this nutrient.†
Vitamin D3 (800 IU in twists, 400 IU in speak+D Pure Oil):
Vitamin D is a widely studied nutrient with an excellent safety profile. Vitamin D is of particular importance to growing children for healthy bone and teeth development and immune system function. Recent research indicates that over 80% of children aged 4 to 11 years consumed less than the estimated average intake of vitamin D (Hyman). While the amount of vitamin D potentially obtained via sunlight is considerably more (by perhaps magnitudes) than that obtained from diet, certain children are very likely failing to obtain sufficient vitamin D even by sunlight due to geographical, seasonal, personal, or medical reasons.†
Why are the new twists a different formulation from the other speak products?
Our new generation twists are the first of our products to have the refined formulation. There is an overabundance of literature regarding vitamin D3 and child development, and based on expert opinion and scientific data, the formulation was refined to replace the small amount of GLA (an omega-6) with an efficacious dose of vitamin D3. In addition, the amount of vitamin K was lowered to be more in line with current opinion regarding the role of vitamin K in combination with vitamin E and omega-3.†
Why not just take cod liver oil?
Because cod liver oil does not contain the same ratio of EPA and DHA and the high amounts of omega-3 and vitamin E that can be important for optimal benefit in children with certain nutritional needs. Cod liver oil also contains varying amounts of vitamins A and D, and increasing servings of cod liver oil to get more omega-3 can provide excessive amounts of vitamin A.†
What if I take cod liver oil with speak®?
Cod liver oil has more DHA than EPA and is not very concentrated with omega-3. It has a great history of traditional use in the US and Europe. The antioxidant vitamin E in speak® supports the omega-3s and add additional benefit. So, by using them together you are not duplicating any vitamins, just adding omega-3.†
My daughter has a soy allergy. I know that most vitamin E is "derived from refined soybean oil." Can this be a problem?
The majority of vitamin E available and used in supplements is derived from soy. Individuals with soy allergies and soy sensitivities are typically allergic to the proteins in the soy. The vitamin E used in speak® is so highly refined and purified that all the proteins are filtered out so only the vitamin E remains. We have many children with soy allergies and soy sensitivities who benefit from the nutrients in speak®. Of course you should always check with your doctor first.†
Why is the Smooth product orange flavored and the Pure Oil lemon flavored?
Because that's what small children told us they like the best! We did a survey and found orange to be the most acceptable flavor for the Smooth by most of the children. Lemon was chosen to be the favorite flavor for the Pure Oil.
I've just received a new box of speak® twists and noticed that they're a different color (darker) than what was in my last box. Why has the color changed?
The 7 nutrients in speak® are sourced from ingredients found in nature which due to natural variations can have slight differences from lot to lot. Vitamin E in particular tends to have variations in color especially from vendor to vendor, and it's likely that the vitamin E used in the current batch was a bit darker than previous batches. The materials used in speak® are of the highest quality, concentration, and purity and because of this, even slight shade differences in a single ingredient will have an effect on the overall color of the capsule. Every batch of our speak® product is third party tested for purity and freshness and meets or exceeds all US and EU standards ensuring the purest grade oils.†
Is there any sugar in speak Smooth, and if not, what is used as a sweetener?
Speak smooth does not contain sugar and is sweetened with xylitol which is a natural, non-sugar sweetener.
What does speak Smooth taste like?
Delicious. Seriously. Children (and parents alike) have said it tastes like an orange push-up or dreamsicle. There is no fish taste or odor.
I noticed that the bottle says to refrigerate after opening. Should speak Smooth be shipped refrigerated?
Omega-3 can break down at very high heat (over 300 degrees F) or by being exposed to high heat over a long period of time. Variable temperature changes during shipping typically do not affect the integrity of the oil. Once the bottle is opened however, it should be refrigerated.
Where does the orange flavoring and color come from in speak Smooth?
The natural orange flavor comes from natural orange oil which is found in the rind of oranges. Beta carotene which provides the orange color to many fruits and vegetables, gives speak smooth its orange color.
Are the ingredients in the speak® supplement safe?
Each of the nutrients are common vitamins that have been studied for years, some more than others. All of the nutrients have excellent safety profiles. Fish oil, as long as it is properly manufactured and handled, is very safe. Vitamin E has been on the market and consumed by millions of people for many years. Vitamin K is in nearly every multiple vitamin available. Of course, it's always best to check with your doctor before starting any new supplementation program.†
How long will it take to notice benefits with the speak® supplement?
Factors that can influence response to omega-3 fatty acid supplementation include previous fish oil use, other nutrient supplementation, medication, gastrointestinal health, dietary intake, and more. Every child is different, however, and no one can predict how each child will respond.†
Speak is just one of many components of our protocol. Our budget is pretty tight, so is it ok if I give my child the lowest dosage to save money?
Most children can benefit from the nutrients in speak even in very low dosages. However, children with special nutritional requirements may necessitate increased amounts and may realize benefits at those increased amounts. The general rule of thumb is to slowly increase dosage within the age range until no additional benefits are noted. At that point, revert to to the prior dose.
We do realize how challenging it can be to fit the cost of supplementation into a family's budget, and our Financial Assistance program works with families so that no child goes without. Learn more about the program here.
What does the speak® supplement taste and smell like?
The taste and smell of the speak® supplement is a result of using natural ingredients. Most fish oil supplements tend to have a slight, well, fish smell and taste. The fish oil used in speak is highly purified, fresh, and of the highest quality all of which practically eliminate any fish flavor or smell. In fact, we've had several reports that our oil has no fish smell or flavor (we agree). The perception of both the taste and smell is different among individuals. To some, the flavor and scent are imperceptible; while others are more sensitive. For a more sensitive child, use the masking techniques described in "My child cannot swallow capsules. How can I provide the speak supplement?" Or immediately following the serving, provide a bitter or sour food such as a dark chocolate chip. Many of our more sensitive kids have found speak Smooth to be the most palatable option.
Are there any contraindications for the speak® supplement?
All fish oil, including the speak® supplement, can act as a natural blood thinner. This may be a consideration if your child is taking other supplements (eg: ginger, garlic, curcumin) or medications (eg: aspirin, ibuprofen) that have similar effects on what researchers refer to as platelet aggregation. Surgeons generally recommend discontinuing use of any product that thins blood at least 2 weeks prior to surgery. Check with your healthcare professional.†
I avoid gluten and casein in my diet, do I need to worry about those ingredients in speak®?
No. All of the ingredients used in speak® are free of gluten and casein.
What is gluten and casein? I've never heard these words before.
You are not alone. Gluten is a type of protein that exists in wheat, oats, rye and barley. Casein is a protein that exists in dairy foods, such as cow's milk and cheese. Some people are allergic or sensitive to these foods. It is becoming easier to find foods that are free of gluten and casein. Read labels and consult with a dietitian.
What are the possible side effects of the speak® supplement?
The primary possible side effect of the speak supplement® is loose stools. Be certain to follow recommendations and increase servings gradually. Loose stools are typically not permanent, dissipating over time.
Because omega-3 fatty acids reduce platelet aggregation, acting as a blood thinner, fish oils may increase bleeding time. Erring on the side of caution, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is often contraindicated for individuals who are taking blood thinners such as Warfarin and Coumadin®. Doctors recommend that patients discontinue use of fish oil supplements two weeks prior to surgery.† The speak® omega-3/vitamin E supplement has been formulated with the inclusion of vitamin K for nutrient balance. Oxidation of omega-3 fatty acids typically occurs in liquid forms that are not refrigerated after opening or with capsules that are exposed to high heat. The speak® supplement contain vitamin E to protect against oxidation of omega-3. Exposure to environmental toxins in fish, such as mercury, are a concern only in omega-3 fatty acids that are not purified. The speak® supplement is manufactured under stringent regulations.
Nutrition researchers and clinicians consider the natural forms of vitamin E, which are contained in the speak® supplement, to be safe vitamins. Like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E acts as a blood thinner; so exercise caution as indicated above.
The form of vitamin K, also known as phylloquinone, in the NourishLife speak® supplement does not result in toxicity. The synthetic form, called menadione, however, can potentially increase oxidative stress and should be avoided. High amounts of vitamins A and E antagonize vitamin K. For this reason NourishLife speak® supplement has been formulated with balanced amounts of vitamins E and K.†

Once you have determined the amount you are currently giving, select a comparable amount of speak and begin with that serving (be sure to discontinue the other omega 3 supplements). Many families begin with 2 capsules of speak daily. After two weeks, increase intake to 3 capsules daily. And after another 2 weeks, increase intake to 4 capsules daily up to a possible intake of 6 capsules daily. Most families report success with a transition period, that is, replacing omega-3 in the current supplement with speak over time.
What is the correct serving of speak for my child's height, weight, and age?
Typically toddlers and smaller children receive a serving of 2 to 4 capules per day, while older and larger children receive a serving of 4 to 6 capsules per day, divided throughout the day. Every child is different, and the "best" amount may be determined by knowing and observing your child. If your child is not currently taking omega-3, begin supplementing with one capsule daily (with food or snack) and increase slowly. We suggest working with your healthcare practitioner if you choose to use increased amounts. A guideline is that if you don't see additional benefit with additional capsules, then stay with the lower serving.
How often and at what times should speak be taken?
It is preferable to provide the speak supplement throughout the day during a child's most active time – in the morning and afternoon. Start with the morning meal and divide the serving throughout the day. For example, 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 with an afternoon snack. If your child is in school, you may ask your school nurse to provide the supplements. Depending on your state, you may need a note from your child's doctor. If you are not able to provide supplements throughout the day, give half the serving in the morning and the balance with dinner.
How should I give the speak supplement to my child?
For the capsules, some children find it easy to swallow the capsule. Others bite the capsule (and swallow the gelatin shell or spit it out), many parents open (pierce) the capsules and mix the oil with non-heated foods (e.g. pudding, smoothie); others serve it on a spoon (with or without juice or fruit sauce) or squirt it directly into the mouth and follow with food. This works for the twist capsules as well. Most children prefer to take Pure Oil and Smooth directly off a spoon. Remember, avoid mixing the product with hot foods.
When should I begin to notice beneficial changes in my child?
Every child is different and responses vary. Not all children experience benefits in the same ways or during the same time period. A number of factors may influence a child's response, such as consistency and serving, co-existing conditions, previous supplementation, transition time, and adherence to special diets.
The time of year can impact response as well due to summer allergies, winter cold and flu season, etc. It is recommended to give speak on a daily basis (consistency is key) for a minimum of a 4 month period to determine if your child benefits from the nutrients in speak.
What ages are children who take speak?
Children aged 2 and above may benefit from the nutrients in speak. Many families with older children have reported positive experiences with speak. Follow the suggested use and increase over time.
My child seems more emotional, weepy, agitated. Is this normal?
Emotional outbursts and transient moods are common when children begin supplementing with omega-3 supplements. Each child is different. If your child has been 'very compliant', a change in this behavior may be considered normal. Parents have reported the "Tasmanian Devil" effect, where children become very active, oppositional but in time (2-3 weeks) rebalance.
What are some possible side-effects associated with omega-3 and vitamin E supplementation? (The issues described are typically associated with omega-3 supplementation – not unique to speak.)
- Some children may experience loose stools when they begin supplementation with oil-based capsules; this usually resolves quickly.
- Moodiness, irritability, and emotional outbursts are commonly reported in children during the first few days/weeks of omega-3 supplementation.
- Experts believe it is best to be off fish oil 2 weeks before a surgery due to increased bleeding risk, given the platelet effects of omega-3.
- Avoid using products such as ibuprofen (motrin, advil) or aspirin since they increase the risk of bleeding, so the combination (omega-3, vitamin E, and these medicines) could theoretically heighten the risk of bleeding. Acetaminophen (Tylenol®) may be an option under the direction of your healthcare provider.
- Individuals on blood thinners such as Coumadin® should not be using fish oil and vitamin E.

The Southern African indigenous concept of Ubuntu is the theme of the 59th CIES annual meeting in Washington, DC. Featuring this notion that reflects the region's particular intellectual histories and anticolonial and postcolonial struggles, the conference organizers ask us not only to consider ways to revitalize humanistic potentials of education in the current neoliberal time but more importantly to take seriously the intellectual work and theoretical insights generated in peripheral regions around decolonial struggles over knowledge.

The Johannesburg Workshop is currently hosting a series of discussions about the basis of non-racialism in contemporary and historical South Africa. To what extend does it imply a questionable universal humanism?
JWTC – Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism – Session 2014.
Commenting on the South African predicament in a recent opinion piece in The Mail and Guardian, Mbembe wrote: "A planetary recoding of situations of misery, debt and enforced idleness is underway. Today, black people are still paying the price of yesterday's racial discounts, without which white privilege would have been but a mirage. The next decade will see increasing conflict between market forces and democracy, between the rule of property and the rule of the poor. The capacity of the South African State to mediate between the rights of the propertyless and the requirements of capital accumulation will be severely tested". In this lecture, Mbembe will reflect on the current South African political moment. He will also assess the crisis of culture which afflicts South Africa's democracy and the extent to which contemporary struggles for emancipation truly transcend the law of repetition which Frantz Fanon foresaw as the biggest threat to difference and newness.
Achille MBEMBE is a Research Professor in History and Politics at WiSER and a Visiting Professor in the Romance Studies Department and The Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University. He is a co-Convenor of The Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism (JWTC) and the Editor of the digital cultural magazine The Johannesburg Salon.

Southern dialogues are developing strongly at this moment in time, though only to highlight the significant challenges ahead.
The colloquium Diálogo Trans-Pacífico y Sur-Sur: Perspectivas Alternativas a la Cultura y Pensamiento Eurocéntrico y Noroccidental took place on 8-9 January, as part of the grand scale Congreso Interdisciplinario at University of Santiago, Chile. Latin America has been the home of particularly active southern thinking, inspired often by its indigenous cultures. The 'south' as a rallying call has been significant given the tangible counter-influence of the United States, to the immediate north.
The Santiago colloquium witnessed a change away from this previously combative north-south argument. The principal perspectives were from Chile, México and Argentina. Much discussion was given to the emerging relations with Asia, specifically China. Alongside this was the growing influence of Brazil across Latin America, reflected in the large number present for the parent congress. In the past, these south-south relations would have been flavoured by a solidarity against USA as the common hegemon. But now there is increasing recognition of a diversity of interests across the south, and the need to reflect this in a conversation which is not reduced to catching up with the North.
One tangible contribution of the colloquium was the title. The word 'noroccidental' literally means 'north-western'. This refers more generally to Western culture in the North, rather than the top left corner of the globe. Such a term accepts that there is a Western culture in the South as well, particularly in countries like South Africa, Australia and Chile. But it differentiates itself from other northern countries, such as Russia and China.
Other emerging terms are 'Euro-American' and 'trans-Atlantic'. The problem with these is that it uses the generic term to represent only one half—North America. 'Euro-American' does not include Latin America, nor does 'trans-Atlantic' feature exchanges with Africa. The challenge is to find an English equivalent of 'noroccidental'. Would 'north-Occidental' do?
The plenary concluded with a call for a more global understanding of South, reflecting such developments as population flows through the North and the relational identity of North and South.
The challenge is to extend this dialogue beyond Latin America to engage with forums elsewhere in the South. There is much activity in South Africa at the moment around the book by Jean & John L. Comaroff, Theory from the South: Or, how Euro-America is Evolving Toward Africa, including the recent critical responses in Johannesburg Salon. In Australia, there is continuing reference to Raewyn Connell's Southern Theory, as well as Indigenous Studies broadly taking on global themes.
The relative lack of connection between these dialogues is, of course, reflective of the condition of the South itself, as a series of spokes connected with each other only via a central hub in the North. Language is an added challenge. The convenor of the Congreso Interdisciplinario Eduardo Devés has developed his own perspective on the Southern condition through 'periphery theory', outlined in his publication Pensamiento Periférico, which is freely available in Spanish. The potential reduction of South to the condition of periphery is an important challenge to the broader historical narratives that it carries. To what extent the issues normally identified with South be characterised by the condition of distance from the centre? Such a perspective puts the historical conditions such as settler-colonialism into question.
Though the distances between the southern countries themselves should be identical to those separating northern countries, the 'hub & spokes' model works in a very practical way to mitigate against south-south travel. Many academics from outside Chile had to cancel their involvement in the colloquium due to higher than expected air fares. This is obviously compounded by smaller travel budgets for academic staff in southern universities.
Nevertheless, the University of Santiago is taking a lead in fostering south-south dialogue. In late October 2013, they will initiate an annual forum/workshop to 'go full circle' on the Pacific, looking at how a trans-Pacific exchange might be configured to include Latin America. The Asia Pacific is usually conceived as a domain exclusive to Australasia, East Asia and North America. But as with the APEC forum, the south-east arc of Latin America should be an integral part of that. 'Full circle' provides a focus on the Pacific as a space for multilateral relations. What would be the intellectual underpinning of this?
The time seems ripe for a major conference on these various strands of southern thinking. Given its position, hosting an international conference would seem one tangible contribution that Australia could make to this emerging paradigm. Alternatively, if it were to be held in a northern university, this paradox of having to go North to talk about South would provide sufficient material for a conference in itself.
One question that tangibly brings the condition of southern thinking home concerns the north-south asymmetry of the academic world. In particular, if someone had the prospect of an academic position in Europe or North America, would there be any value in remaining in a less well-endowed southern university?
Meanwhile, while waiting for such an event to emerge, four Australian academics have generous offered a summary of their work accompanied by a generative question:
As the Zapatistas would say, inspired by Mayan mythology, 'walking we ask questions'. Thankfully, the path stretches out ahead.
A recent journal article from the Comaroffs rallies the cause for a southern perspective. But it leaves much work to be done in developing the critical tools that might achieve this.
'The Global South' has become a shorthand for the world of non-European, postcolonial peoples. Synonymous with uncertain development, unorthodox economies, failed states, and nations fraught with corruption, poverty, and strife, it is that half of the world about which the 'Global North' spins theories. Rarely is it seen as a source of theory and explanation for world historical events. Yet, as many nation-states of the Northern Hemisphere experience increasing fiscal meltdown, state privatization, corruption, and ethnic conflict, it seems as though they are evolving southward, so to speak, in both positive and problematic ways. Is this so? In what measure? What might this mean for the very dualism on which such global oppositions rest? Drawing on recent research, primarily in Africa, this paper touches on a range of familiar themes—law, labor, and the contours of contemporary capitalism—in order to ask how we might understand these things with theory developed from an 'ex-centric' vantage. This view renders some key problems of our time at once strange and familiar, giving an ironic twist to the evolutionary pathways long assumed by social scientists.

I'm 41 weeks today and getting anxious!! My first was induced at 39 weeks because of PIH and resulted in a c/s. With my second my water broke at 40 weeks and 3 days and also ended in a c/s because of bad positioning. This time around baby is in great position, blood pressure is under control, and everything else is going great. I'm just getting soo anxious because I've never actually experienced labor starting and ending in a vaginal delivery and as the days continue on with no signs of labor I'm finding it hard to be positive that it'll happen. Just needed to vent!
41 weeks today
You are going to rock this baby out!!
I'm one week behind you, so I can't wait to hear your birth story.
Wife to III & momma to my gentle and sweet yogi, Asher 9/18/09 and my rainbow, Jude 1/11/13.
Missing my babe 02/12.
I hear ya, I have had to self induce with my last 2 and have never had my water break on its own, either. We are going to go to 43 weeks this time. I feel positive that if I'm allowed to have a totally natural birth from start to finish it will be smooth and quick!
Good Luck, you can do it!
You're so close!! And I'm so jealous (35.5 weeks here...) lol Keep us posted when baby comes :)
Thank you all for the encouraging words. Good luck Meridith and MrsPase02 on your up coming labors/deliveries.
You can do it! If you decide to try to naturally induce, I highly recommend accupuncture. Sent me into labor at 41w3d.
Marne (37) + Josh (39)
Parker born at home 9/4/10
MC 11/12, ^Eloise^ 5/13 (14wks) encephalocele, MC 8/13
Rainbow Willa born at home 7/9/14
Hang in there! I know it's discouraging when it feels like labor will never start on it's own. I went to 42+3 with my last one, which is the latest I'd ever gone before going into labor, and my water actually broke on it's own (first time for that happening too). Good luck with everything! Sending good labor vibes your way! :-)
Check out my family's blog: http://twelve-acres.blogspot.com/
Get Thrivalized! https://www.thrivelife.com/homemarket
I'm at 40+2 days today and am feeling very similar to you. We just need to hang in there! My first was born an hour and a half after her due date and for some reason I was positive this one would come early, but nope.
I'm sending happy easy labor vibes! I know how hard it is to wait, especially when you fear it not ending the way you want. My first was 38w5d, so when I went to 41w3d with #2 I was like, what is happening??? Also, in NJ you "risk out" at 42 weeks and the midwives cannot deliver you at home without either violating their licensing rules or changing your records, which I would not ask them to do, so I was freaking out about a hospital birth (#1 was a not fun hospital birth). Just stay calm and try some envisioning of labor coming, picture the homebirth, etc. Good luck!

Proving that even mediocre films will be given a decent DVD release, Analyze That is far from a spectacular disc, but still has enough going for it to give it a try. Warner, as usual, produces a fine enough transfer, framed at 1.85:1 and anamorphic. A full-frame version is available separately. Colors are generally bright and realistic, though detail isn't particularly strong. While certainly nothing to complain about, the image doesn't stand out. Unfortunately, neither does the sound. The 5.1 English Dolby Digital track lacks any creative effort, as everything is centered up front, with no significant separation up front or in the rear speakers. Though some supplemental features are offered, they don't strengthen this disc. A commentary track from director Harold Ramis is relatively weak, with sporadic comments, though at times they are interesting. The documentary, actually a ten-minute studio fluff piece, actually gives away some key plot points, so be sure not to watch it first. Finally, along with the theatrical trailer and some filmographies, is an amusing test, called "M.A.D.E. -- the Mafioso Associate Degree Exam," to see if you belong in "the family." Neither a laugh fest, nor an exceptional disc, which is unfortunate considering the talent involved.

Analyze That was an extremely funny movie. Billy Cristal does an awesome job. If anybody wants a good laugh this is the movie to see!!
This was one of the worst movies I have seen in years. My wife sneaked this one home from blockbuster and I had to suffer through it. I'd rather watch Gigli (for the first time), than suffer through this again. B&N Needs to add a negative star option.

Evidently, however, a Philadelphia man learned the hard way that some restrictions apply.
On Tuesday, police in Cheltenham Township received a tip that a delivery to an apartment complex would contain a "large amount of drugs."
They were alerted that the package would be picked up by a man driving a white Infiniti, police said in a statement released Friday.

Greenfield man killed in industrial accident at Sonag Co.
A 38-year-old man was killed in an industrial accident at Sonag Co. early Thursday, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.
Stephen Rauth of Greenfield was killed in the accident at 2751 S. Chase Ave. about 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
The Milwaukee Fire Department was called to the scene for an initial report of an employee pinned in a machine. Milwaukee police investigated and determined the man was killed while making a repair in a concrete mixing tower.
As is standard practice in industrial accidents, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration was notified, a police spokesman said.
Rauth is survived by his wife, Holly, and three children, including a fourth-grade boy and a second-grade girl who attend St. Mary's Elementary School in Hales Corners, and a 3-year-old boy.
WITI-TV reported that he was a five-year employee of the company.
