Simple Thanksgiving Dinner Tips Courtesy Of The Founding Fathers (NAPSA)—Many Americans want to treat family and friends to a holiday meal with a bit of tradition to it. Making that easier is a delicious recipe for roast turkey that harks back to Colonial times.

“Thanksgiving is about recreating family traditions, about taking time to be with loved ones and honoring generations-old values,” explains Emmy Award–winning TV host, cookbook author and culinary historian Chef Walter Staib, City Tavern of Philadelphia proprietor.

“It’s the only truly American holiday centered around savoring our nation’s culinary heritage.”

This simple turkey recipe is based on what our forefathers ate at their celebrations. “It will taste just as delicious now as it did to our Founding Fathers.”

Early American Roasted Turkey recipe by Chef Staib Serves 8 to 10 1 (18- to 20-pound) turkey, with giblets Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 medium yellow onion, quartered 1 ⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme 2 medium shallots, finely chopped 1 bunch fresh sage, on stem 1 bunch fresh tarragon, on stem 1 Tbsp. olive oil Preheat oven to 325° F. Place oven rack on bottom level.

Place wire roasting rack in large roasting pan and spray with vegetable cooking spray.

Remove giblets, neck and any visible fat from cavity.

Discard liver and fat. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water; pat dry.

Sprinkle turkey cavity with salt and pepper. Place quartered onion inside.

In small bowl, combine parsley, thyme, shallots and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with salt and a generous grinding of pepper.

• Step 2 After the turkey is cooked (meat thermometer should read 180–185° F when inserted in the thickest part of the turkey), cool the bird for 15 minutes. Cooling makes the meat firmer and easier to slice. Remove and set aside the turkey legs and the last joint of each wing. Make a long, deep (to the bone) horizontal “base cut” into the breast just above the wing.

PBS “A Taste Of History” host Walter Staib displays a roast turkey prepared in a traditional Colonial manner.

Rub herb mixture on meat under the skin on each side of the breastbone. Place fresh sage and tarragon under skin, leaving whole. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and twist the wing tips behind the back. Place turkey, breast side up, in prepared roasting pan.

Roast for about 2 hours, until breast is browned. Cover with foil and roast for 3 to 4 hours, basting the turkey every 15 minutes with its own juices. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in a thigh muscle registers 180–185° F. “Turkey is delicate by nature— the sharper the knife, the cleaner the cut and the nicer the presentation,” says Staib. “Thankfully, we don’t have to rely on the 18thcentury grinding stone to create sharp knives. EdgeCraft makes holiday entertaining a little easier with Chef’sChoice® sharpeners.”

Chef’sChoice® TurkeyCarving Tips: • Step 1 Be sure to use a good, sharp knife. Sharp knives are not only safer, they will help you smoothly cut thin, even slices without shredding the meat. Fortunately, you don’t have to be an expert to put a razor-sharp edge on your knife.

• Step 3 Slice down vertically through the breast until you meet the original base cut. This will release perfect, even slices.

Simple Actions Can Make the Difference in Home Fires (NAPSA)—There seem to be countless things we don’t think twice about when it comes to protecting our families. You’d never hit the road on a long road trip without buckling your baby in a car seat. And most people have a nightly habit of making sure the house is locked before going to bed. Both are simple things that become a habit in order to keep your family safe.

So why are Americans still not taking simple actions to protect their families from home fires?

According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), almost 2,500 people die every year in home fires. Yet most of these deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms.

Did you also know that cooking is the main cause of home fires and home fire injuries? But it doesn’t have to be that way, because Fire is Everyone’s Fight ™. There are simple steps you can take right now to reduce your risk of a home fire that could not just injure you or a loved one, but could take a life.

Put smoke alarms in your home to keep your family safe.

Make sure your smoke alarms work. Your family is not safe if they can’t hear the smoke alarms.

Test your smoke alarms. Push the test button. You will hear a loud noise. If you don’t hear the noise, you need a new battery or a new alarm. Fix this immediately.

To protect against cookingrelated fires and injuries, keep an eye on what you fry. Most cooking

Keep a cool head to avoid fire in your house. fires start when someone is frying food. Hot oil and grease can burn people and start fires. Be prepared when cooking and make the cooking area safe. Make sure children and pets stay at least 3 feet away from a hot stove. Clean and clear the area around the stove before you turn on the heat. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so no one can bump them or pull them over.

Just as the simple click of a seat belt can become a habit that decreases your chance of being injured in a car crash, getting in the habit of doing these fire safety practices may help save your life or the life of your family one day.

Remember, keeping you safe isn’t just the fire department’s job. Fire is Everyone’s Fight™.

Diesel Engines And Premium Synthetic Oils (NAPSA)—It’s a new day for diesel engines. That’s the word from experts who say improvements in diesel technology and fuel composition have made diesel vehicles more appealing to a broader group of consumers.

Because of these improvements, people who choose diesel vehicles report better gas mileage and increased torque. Plus, diesel vehicles typically hold their value in the resale market better than those with gasoline-powered engines.

While in the past many thought that you could not use a synthetic oil in a diesel engine, that is not the case. Today’s diesel vehicles can benefit from the same improvements in performance and protection that a premium synthetic motor oil, such as Royal Purple, offers gas-powered vehicles.

Common Questions To help, here are some answers to common questions about using a synthetic oil in a diesel vehicle.

•Is it possible to run synthetic for one oil change and then switch back to mineral oil? Yes. Most synthetic oils including Royal Purple are compatible with other mineral and synthetic oils. You will want to check the label on the manufacturer’s bottle for confirmation.

•What is the difference between 5W-40 and 15W-40 for diesel engines? Assuming they are American Petroleum Institute (API) licensed (CI-4, CJ-4, etc.), both are effective SAE 40 weight oils. As the oil cools from engine operating temperature, the 5W-40 will thicken less than the 15W-40.

Today’s diesel vehicles can benefit from the improvements in performance and protection offered by a premium synthetic motor oil. the viscosity, the better the fluid flows when cold.

Depending on the age of your engine, older diesel engines may see a slight increase in oil consumption with lighter oil.

•Do you need to adjust the viscosity of your oil based on where you live? Sometimes. The way you use your vehicle is also a factor. In general, many auto manufacturers recommend an “all temperature” viscosity. Your owner’s manual will indicate which “all temperature” oil is recommended for your vehicle and location.

•What about premium oil filters? It’s a good idea to use a premium oil filter in tandem with a synthetic oil. Oil filters prevent contaminants from circulating through the system, causing damage. Premium oil filters offer superior filtration media and internal and structural components made of high-quality material.

If you’re considering purchasing a diesel vehicle, don’t forget that maintaining the vehicle is key.

New Study: 3D Finds Breast Cancers Earlier (NAPSA)—When it comes to telling if someone has—or doesn’t have—breast cancer, three dimensions are a lot better than two, according to recent research published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

The Research In the first large-scale U.S. study of 3D mammograms, researchers compared breast cancer screening with the addition of 3D mammograms against conventional 2D mammograms and found a significant reduction in recall rates and a sizable increase in cancer detection, Dr. Rose particularly invasive cancer.

The study evaluated recall, cancer detection and invasive cancer detection rates in a community-based breast imaging practice. Called “Implementation of Breast Tomosynthesis in a Routine Screening Practice: An Observational Study,” it was led by Stephen L. Rose, M.D., a prominent radiologist in Houston, Texas.

The Results “Implementation of tomosynthesis in our screening practice resulted in a consistent significant improvement in performance,” the report said.

ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

A new study adds to a significant body of evidence showing improved results using 3D mammograms for breast cancer screening. The technology detects the disease earlier when it’s easiest to treat and reduces false alarms for cancer-free patients.

The study found the use of 3D mammograms resulted in: •A 53 percent increase in invasive cancer detection rates.

•A 37 percent drop in recall rates; that is, in patients being called back f or f u rt h er t est s becau se t h e f irst resu lt was inconclusive.

The Rose study is consistent with prior research findings, including two major European studies published in The Lancet Oncology. Both of those studies found increased cancer detection and reduced recalls.

The Reasons 3D technology allows radiologists to see breast tissue in greater detail than with 2D mammograms

alone. This results in earlier detection of cancers, when they are easier to treat, and a reduction in the worrisome false positives that are more common with conventional digital mammograms.

3D mammogram technology, approved by the FDA in 2011, was developed by Hologic, Inc., a leading company serving the health care needs of women. 3D mammograms are used in 49 states and more than 50 countries. More than 2.5 million women in the United States have had 3D mammograms.

(NAPSA)—Information shared by family members can often serve as the first line of defense against a serious medical condition. Such shared information was key to saving the life of a young man named Matthew Ito. As a teen, Ito did all the things other 14-year-old boys did: played sports, hung out with friends, and raced dirt bikes. But around that time he also learned he had inherited a potentially deadly genetic disorder that affects 1 in 500 people.

The disorder, called Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), affects more than 600,000 Americans, yet 80 percent of those with FH are undiagnosed and have no idea they are at risk.

When Ito was diagnosed in 1974, the medical community didn’t have ideal guidance or treatment for it. In fact, he wasn’t treated for FH until he was in his late 20s, just after statins, a class of drug used to lower cholesterol, were introduced. The only thing standing between him and a lifechanging—or life-ending—heart attack was a semi-strict diet and exercise.

“When I’d go out with my friends, my mom would make me a healthy snack and everyone else would be eating hamburgers,” said Ito, now a professor of pharmacy practice at Oregon State University/Oregon Health & Science University.

After further tests and family research, he learned that FH came from his mom’s side of the family. Both of his maternal grandparents had died from either a stroke or a heart attack. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins have FH as well.

The consequences of FH have dramatically altered his life. Ito is in the midst of a fight against FH, not only for himself, but also for the life of his patients and his own family.

“Even though I’m being treated with statins and ezetimibe (a cholesterol absorption inhibitor), I eat an extremely healthy, low cholesterol and low sodium diet. I was

Matthew Ito is one of 600,000 Americans who have the disorder called Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Unfortunately, 80 percent of those with FH are undiagnosed and have no idea that they are at risk. undiagnosed for 14 years of my life, and it took its toll,” Ito said.

Early Diagnosis Is Key As a Doctor of Pharmacy and President of the National Lipid Association (NLA) this year, he is committed to raising awareness about this disorder. Ito wants both patients and health care providers to know exactly how important early diagnosis and treatment is, from his personal—and lifethreatening—experience.

Despite a strict diet and doing everything “by the book,” in January 2013, Ito had a massive heart attack and two weeks later underwent triple bypass surgery.

He said that he always suspected he would have a heart attack but just never knew when.

“It happened when I was dirt bike riding in a remote area in the mountains surrounding Portland.

Thankfully, friends riding with me got medical attention to me quickly, saving my life. The event has been life-altering for me, my family, and my friends.”

Family History Is Helpful Knowing his family history, Ito made sure that his now 18-yearold daughter and 13-year-old son were screened for FH, done with a simple blood test. Results showed that his daughter also inherited

FH but his son did not. “Thankfully my daughter is doing well, and she is now on statins, but it’s something she will have to learn to live with and be aware of the rest of her life,” said Ito. But not many doctors do cholesterol screening on children who appear perfectly healthy, and not many children have lipidologists as fathers.

“Let’s say you get screened in your 30s and start getting aggressive treatment. The problem is— you’ve been living with extremely high cholesterol for years, and it’s hard to reverse that,” Ito said.

“Why should we wait until these patients have a heart attack before a doctor starts asking if their patient has atherosclerosis?”

Screening Is Essential “Many people with FH don’t have any obvious symptoms of high cholesterol; they are not obese; they don’t eat unhealthy foods; and they exercise. That’s why it’s so difficult to diagnose— and often those with FH only get diagnosed after they’ve had a heart attack or stroke. If patients suspect they may have FH or have a family history of heart attack or stroke, I advise them to get screened for FH. Because it could end up saving their life,” said Ito. Signs You May Have FH •A routine blood test shows high cholesterol •A heart attack before the age of 50–60 •Family history of cardiovascular disease early in life •Swollen tendons on the heels and hands •Yellowish areas around the eyes While FH is not curable, it is treatable. The aim of treatment is to reduce your cholesterol to an acceptable level, thereby preventing or delaying heart disease.

A lipidologist, a health care provider who specializes in treating diseases like FH, can develop the best treatment plan for you.
