Bosco was the password. It killed J. Peterman’s mother. It may have gotten the guy out of the ATM, but I think the show ended before George told him.
That’s a shame.
Go to SweetNostalgia.com. I think you can buy it there.
I’m sure there are many people who are offended by the word “Bosco.” Do they even sell it anymore?
LOL!
No kidding...any kid who sang that now would be in the shrink’s office in 2-minutes. The thought police would go nuts.
I think I’ve seen it in the Vermont Country Store catalog.
As I always post when discussing vitamins:
Vitamin D May Cut Pancreatic Cancer
Adults With Recommended Intake of Vitamin D Had Lower Pancreatic Cancer Risk, Study Shows
Sept. 12, 2006 — Getting the recommended intake of vitamin D from diet, supplements, or even the sun may cut your risk of pancreatic cancer.
The results of two large, long-term surveys show that adults who got 300 IU to 449 IU (international units) per day had a 43% lower risk of pancreatic cancercancer. The recommended intake of vitamin D for adults aged 51-70 is 400 IU per day.
Researchers say the findings suggest that vitamin D, which is created in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet sunlight, and found in fortified dairy products and other food sources, may play an important role in preventing pancreatic cancer. The cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.
“Because there is no effective screening for pancreatic cancer, identifying controllable risk factors for the disease is essential for developing strategies that can prevent cancer,” researcher Halcyon Skinner, PhD, of the department of preventive medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, says in a news release.
“Vitamin D has shown strong potential for preventing and treating prostate cancerprostate cancer, and areas with greater sunlight exposure have lower incidence and mortality for prostate, breast, and colon cancers, leading us to investigate a role for vitamin D in pancreatic cancer risk,” says Skinner.
“Few studies have examined this association, and we did observe a reduced risk for pancreatic cancer with higher intake of vitamin D,” he says.
Vitamin D May Fight Pancreatic Cancer
In the study, researchers analyzed data on vitamin D intake and pancreatic cancer risk among the more than 120,000 men (aged 40 to 75) and women (38 to 65) who participated in the Health Professionals Follow-Up and Nurses’ Health studies.
Between the two surveys, 365 cases of pancreatic cancer were reported.
The Northwestern study showed people who consumed in the range of 300 IU to 449 IU per day of vitamin D daily had a 43% lower risk of pancreatic cancer than those with less than 150 IU per day.
Getting more than the daily RDA (600 IU per day or greater) had 41% lower risk than those who consumed less than 150 IU per day.
Even participants who consumed only 150 IU to 299 IU per day had a 22% lower risk than those with less than 150 IU per day.
The analysis took into account factors such as smoking history, multivitamin use, age, and body mass index (BMI)body mass index (BMI).
Researchers also examined the association between pancreatic cancer and daily intake of calcium and vitamin A, but found no link.
“In concert with laboratory results suggesting antitumor effects of vitamin D, our results point to a possible role for vitamin D in the prevention and possible reduction in mortality of pancreatic cancer.
“Since no other environmental or dietary factor showed this risk relationship, more study of vitamin D’s role is warranted,” says Skinner.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ll continue taking 1,000 units of D a day to help lower my BP.
I use to sing
On top of ol smokey
all covered with blood
I shot my poor teacher
with a red rubber band
I shot her with pleasure
I shot her with pride
I could’nt have missed her
She was fifty feet wide.
Liberals and our nanny state dont find it very funny.
I was scolded by a teacher for teaching my son that limerick.
If you eat too well, demand Digel.
My sister the soccer mom, acted shocked and told me not to teach her kids.
Great!
Fortunately, there are still those of us who take great pleasure in teaching kids little incorrect ditties like that; and of course, the kids love them. I feel it is my duty to teach my friends’ kids all kinds of stuff that I’m sure will drive their teachers beserk.
“Ro-laids consumes 47 times its weight in excess stomach acid!”
I try to explain that is a blistering sunburn, that you need some sun for vitamin D and to cut cancer risks. I'm not saying anyone should burn, but there is a reason why closing your eyes and bathing in the sun feels so good - again, Mother Nature.
Now its very clear why.
Medicos don’t know much about sarcoids. They don’t know how people get it, but are real quick to tell you its NOT contagious! I still don’t know how they come to that conclusion, so the mystery continues.
“If you like peanuts, you’ll love Skippy!”
It’s very common for pediatricians to recommend giving Vitamin D supplements to breastfed babies. Because they assume mothers won’t get enough in their diet, and that big bad Sun is, well, bad for you.
When our doctor recommended it, we didn’t really know better and went out about bought the Poli-si-vol (sp?) he said to. We tried to give it to our daugther once. It was horrendous. And it smelled like burning flesh.
After a little research and determining she was not in a high risk category for rickets (don’t live in a northern latitude and is fair skinned), I decided it would be easier to just make sure she gets outside enough to get the benefits of the sun, while protecting her against possible sun damage. It’s not that hard to do.
“Personally, I do not believe it is healthy to always put sunscreen on, especially children.”
I have one very fair skinned child. I wait for a half hour before I put sun screen on her.
With the rest of my children I usually don’t apply it at all unless we are outside for more than 2 hrs.
Thanks for the clarification.
Mrs VS
I think the latest studies are showing that certain cancers are prevalent in developed societies because we spend the days inside working, and the nights under electric lights. We need sun by day and dark at night. Again, of course you wouldn’t want to burn and fairer skin means be more careful. But isn’t it sad that popular culture, even popular medical culture, can turn us away from common sense healthful practices?
Must be a Northern thing because I’ve only heard of it down here in Memphis by watching an episode of Seinfeld...George likes Bosco
