IMPORTANT VITAMIN NEWS
* More
than 400 mcg of folic acid per day (easy to consume if you're taking a supplement + eating fortified cereals/nutrition bars)
has been linked to significant increases in colon, lung and prostate cancers. One strategy: Use a pill splitter
or serrated knife to cut your B-Complex vitamin in half, which will save money as well.
* Keep your intake
of vitamin E to 400 IU daily, as higher doses have been linked to a shorter life span, blood thinning, and a higher risk of
lung cancer.

Save Significant
Money on College Textbooks
and Do Something Good for the Environment
In our current economic downturn, the financial burden of expensive college textbooks is more than some students and their
families can bear. Consider renting at www.chegg.com. Not only can you save money, but shipping is quick, and Chegg plants a tree for every book you rent, sell, or buy.
Real-Life Success Story
When my daughter began at University of California in 2008, she
researched the costs for 2 books and then went with Chegg rentals:
* A Psychology book used through the school:
$96.75. On Chegg: $10.70.
Savings: $86.05 (small
shipping fee extra).
* A Human Genome book used through the school: $120. On Chegg: $65.
Savings: $55.00 (small shipping fee extra).
The quality of your or your student's education is precious, but it shouldn't break the bank. Plus, the systematized
re-use of books and Chegg's tree-planting policy benefit our environment. Since the beginning of it's partnership with American Forests and as of 2022, Chegg has planted nearly 6 million trees in 104 unique ecosystems in 18 states
across the U.S. and 14 countries around the world.
