'Wich of the Week: Ham and Swiss on Dutch Crunch
San Francisco's Roxie Food Center is an unassuming corner store, located on an unlikely residential block, that's rumored to have remarkable sandwiches. I've been meaning to try it for months, so a few weeks ago I made a special trip just to get my jaws around one these sammies.
Though the store has all the usual varieties of bread and cold cuts, I'd heard great things about the Dutch crunch rolls, which are topped with a sugary, salty crust.
Milk May Not Do Your Body Good
Many of you have tried a dairy-free diet either for ethical reasons or because it upsets your stomach. Although the message from the dairy industry is that milk does a body good, 60 percent of adults can't digest dairy. It's not that they're allergic, meaning their immune system is affected; it's that their stomachs can't digest the lactose, the sugar found in milk.

- Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who do not respond to single-drug therapy often do better when a combination of drugs is used, indicates a review of 23 clinical trials published in 2007 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. However, the researchers were unable to determine which combinations of drugs work best or which individual drugs are more effective than others.
- Combination drug treatment is now becoming a standard approach to treating rheumatoid arthritis while it is still in its early stages. Another 2007 Annals of Internal Medicine study indicated that initial combination therapies slow progression of joint damage more rapidly than single-drug therapy but, after several years, all treatment strategies produce benefits.
More on High Fructose Corn Syrup
The ads promoting high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) that are airing on TV irritate me to no end and I know they bother a few of you as well. The controversy surrounding the ad campaign, which is estimated to cost around $20 to $30 million, continues to grow. The basic premise of the ads is that HFCS is natural since it is made from corn (they don't mention how processed the syrup truly is) and that it is just like sugar.

Handful of Plates: Love It or Hate It?
These taco shell style plates were designed by Dutch-born designer Alissia Melka-Teichroew. The Handful of Plates are sold in a set of three for $110 and are curved in order for you to keep the plate in one hand, while eating the food with the other. I think they're ideal for parties, but wonder if they would be awkward to hold, especially if you had smaller hands.
