The Stoic Lucius Seneca once wrote: "It is part of the cure to want to be cured." This simple observation reflects our current understanding of the relationship between mind and body. There is a close correlation between physical actions and mental states. Certain actions can impact our mental attitudes and our mental attitudes influence our physical being because the mind and body constantly talk to one another. The brain sends all that it thinks and perceives to the rest of the body. An extreme example of this interconnection can be seen in the effects of voodoo. In the 1940s, Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon spent several years collecting examples of "voodoo death" -- case histories of men and...

Margarine Takes the Lead
Now that's been reversed. U. S. Department of Agriculture statistics cited by Ehrhart show that in 1987, Americans averaged 10.5 pounds of margarine and 4.6 pounds of butter. And despite the nearly $14 million a year spent by the Dairy Board to convince people to stick with butter, Chuck Timpko, the board's manager of consumer research, notes that in 1988 in home consumer use of butter dropped another 6 percent. The reason: Besides being about half the cost, margarine is viewed as being "healthier." A tablespoon of butter has about 100 calories, I I grams of fat (about 7 grams saturated and 4 unsaturated), and 30 milligrams of cholesterol.
