I received a comment from Kelly on one of my blogs and she asked me to tell her more about the role of macrobiotics in fighting cancer. I made some comments about nutrition with brief references to some research and to the Kushi Institute. Thinking about my response, I realised that there is a lot more that I would like to say to anybody that is diagnosed with cancer.

We are always on the lookout for new, interesting ingredients for our products and we used mesquite in two of our MacroNutrient Bars; the Cashew Mesquite and the Chocolate Crunch. The mesquite that we use is ground from the seed pods of the mesquite plant, found in many arid areas including the Southwest. It's extensive root system can fix nitrogen, helping to enrich desert soils and in a drought it will shed its leaves to conserve moisture.
