BANG FOR THE BITE | | 
If 10,000 Biters choose a pint of organic dried cherries instead of nonorganic, we'll avert the weight of six old biddies in pesticides. |
| COCKTAIL FACTOID | |  According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the five most common external causes of skin wrinkling are the sun, facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, and smoking. |
| | Are wrinkles always a bad thing? The Bite
Of crease not. Just look at organic dried fruit, which lets you taste nature's candy all year round - plus, the healthy antioxidants it packs might even give you a leg up on crow's feet. The Benefits
- Appetizing anti-agers. Fruit contains a lotta cell-protecting and -renewing antioxidants, and certain dried fruits have more than their fresh counterparts. Example: Dried blueberries have four times the antioxidants of fresh.
- No artificial preservatives. Some dried fruits are treated with preservatives called sulfites, which can cause allergic reactions. Not these.
- Organic options. The market for organic food is growing at around 20% per year; let's keep the low-pesticide momentum going.
- A little love for the locals. Dehydrating your own local, in-season fruit at home helps support farmers in your community.
Personally Speaking
Moderation is key: 13 dried apricots on an empty stomach gave Jen so much "tummy trouble" that she had to miss an invite-only Indigo Girls concert. Wanna Try?
