Richard Cohen: “Sugar Love: A Not-So Sweet Story” | The Diane Rehm Show from WAMU and NPR.
An ancient New Guinea myth says the human race originated from the first man making love to a stalk of sugar cane. But in modern times, our love affair with sugar has created a health crisis. The average American consumes nearly 23 teaspoons of sugar a day, three to four times the American Heart Association’s recommended daily limit. Obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease have all been linked to excessive consumption. Diane and her guests discuss the history of sugar, why we crave it, how our bodies evolved to process it and why it could be making us sick.

Krishna Das – About Chanting
The following is an excerpt from Pilgrim of the Heart audio series by Krishna Das:”The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place thats deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us. These chants have no meaning other than the experience that we have by doing them. They come from the Hindu tradition, but its not about being a Hindu, or believing anything in advance. Its just about doing it, and experiencing. Nothing to join, you just sit down and sing.”
