WELLNESS:Health benefits of blackberries The berries are very low in calories. 100 g provide just 43 calories. Nonetheless, they are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber (100 g whole berries consist of 5.3 g or 14% RDA of fiber). Xylitol, a low-calorie sugar substitute in the fruit fiber, absorbs more slowly than glucose inside the gut, and thus does not cause rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Blackberries compose significantly high amounts of antioxidant compounds that may have potential health benefits against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neurological diseases. Fresh berries are an excellent source of vitamin-C adequate levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin K (16% of RDA/100 g. Blackberries have an ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity, a measure of anti-oxidant strength) of about 5347µmol TE per 100 grams. Further, blackberries contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, copper, and magnesium.

IN THE NEWS: To cut asthma risk, get a fur blanket for baby, study suggests Newborns who sleep on animal fur in the first months of life aren't as likely to come down with asthma and allergies later in life, a new study suggests. Researchers aren't talking about snuggling up with a dog or cat—they mean, for example, a sheepskin rug or blanket, explains Time. The study is out of Germany, and such bedding was common there when the kids were born in the 1990s.Followup studies over the years found that those who slept on animal fur in their first three months of life had a 79% lower risk of developing asthma by the age of 6, and a 41% lower risk by the age of 10, reports Science World.

Your taxidermist also does your taxes. You've ever let your dog babysit your kids. Your security system is the latch on your screen door. Your financial planner told you to buy lottery tickets. You've ever left a bingo game in handcuffs. You've ever had a dream about beef jerky. You flush the toilet and the dog thinks you're giving him fresh water.
