Dear brothers and sisters,

We begin with magnificent California grown Concord grapes. We blend them to create a liquid base. We add  beautiful yellow peaches, and some  Black Mission figs. For sweetening, we have Medjool dates, pitted and chopped, honey, and maple syrup. We toss in a lime and salt to heighten the flavors. We blend it all together and voilà -we have a  smoothie exuberant with life forces; imagine starting your day with this celebration of vivacity.  

May we wish you and family a delightful summer of good health, prosperity and success,

Social media is now abuzz with the latest concern being linked to GLP-1 medications. Apparently, people who are using these drugs are now coming down with sudden dental issues.

A news report from Fox News highlights yet another rising concern about GLP-1 medications, particularly how these drugs are triggering tooth- and gum-related issues. According to the report, patients and doctors are now seeing a consistent pattern of dental problems linked to these medications.

• Beware of ‘Ozempic teeth’ — Much like the infamous “Ozempic face,” this refers to oral health symptoms, such as tooth decay, gum disease, oral infections, bad breath and dental collapse, that are showing up in people who are taking these medications. Even those with no prior history of dental disease are experiencing these side effects.
