Betty Kamen and Michael Rosenbaum, MD, have decided to share their many years of nutrition expertise. Each day, a short and simple hint will be presented to you.

These hints will continue to appear almost daily on www.bettykamen.com, and remain in place for about one week.

If you would like the free one-line TableTalk Hint e-mailed to you daily, e-mail to Betty@well.com and write: "Hint" in the subject line.
