Low Carb Christmas Enchiladas!

Written by Jan McCracken

Sauté onion in butter and add other ingredients. Set aside while preparing tortillas for BUILDING enchiladas!

Now let’s build enchiladas...

Olive oil 12 low carb tortillas 2 cups cream 1 cup chicken stock 1 1/2 cups Jack cheese grated

Heat oil in heavy skillet and cook tortillas just a few seconds. Combinerepparttar cream and chicken stock until well blended.

After cooking each tortilla, dip each one inrepparttar 115455 chicken stock and cream mixture. Spread filling mixture onrepparttar 115456 tortillas (kinda like peanut butter on a sandwich), rollrepparttar 115457 tortilla, placingrepparttar 115458 seam side down on a baking dish. Byrepparttar 115459 way, this dish should be big enough to hold 12 of these puppies!

After all tortillas are filled and rolled, pourrepparttar 115460 remaining liquid over them. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in a 350° oven until hot and cheese is melted... about 25 minutes.

Serves 12

Carb count for Total Recipe: 107 grams carbs/19 grams fiber = 88 net grams of carbs ADDrepparttar 115461 carb count for your tortillas! WOW... this is ONLY 7.3 grams of carbs per serving and if you ADD 3 net grams forrepparttar 115462 tortilla it is still only 10.3 grams for a very special treat.

Who says low carb cooking is boring??

Self-destroying cancer cells: a major breakthrough for medical research

Written by Brenda Townsend Hall


Continued from page 1

As existing cancer treatments are associated with risks to healthy cells as well asrepparttar cancerous ones, recent research worldwide has been concentrating onrepparttar 115454 design of drugs that specifically target cancer cells and leave healthy cells alone. Such treatments lowerrepparttar 115455 side effects ofrepparttar 115456 drugs significantly, but unfortunately not completely. 'Our approach,' says Dr Jacob, 'uses catalysts to achieve this goal. Catalysts are very different from "one shot" conventional drugs since they facilitate reactions of species already present withinrepparttar 115457 cancer cell and themselves are therefore recycled. This means they are active in very small concentrations. Since they "need"repparttar 115458 cancer cell's reactive species for activity, they are only active in cancer cells but not in normal cells.'

The compounds have been developed and synthesised at Exeter University''s School of Biological and Chemical Sciences and tested in cancer cells atrepparttar 115459 Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital andrepparttar 115460 research is now entering its critical phase. The team has just started with animal tests and hopes to proceed to clinical trials oncerepparttar 115461 compounds have shown activity inrepparttar 115462 animal models. They have teamed up with Exeter Antioxidant Therapeutics Ltd. and this company is providing patent protection and is negotiating with larger pharmaceutical companies to develop and test these catalysts further. Since this approach is based on a new method rather than a single new compound, it has considerable potential forrepparttar 115463 development of a range of new catalysts with anticancer potential.

Althoughrepparttar 115464 research team stresses that treatment based on this approach is still many years off, their findings open up valuable new directions inrepparttar 115465 field of anti-cancer research.
