Editor's Note:
"Race" is sometimes mentioned as a risk factor in the development of certain cancers and a number of other diseases. When you read this in a discussion about an illness, note that the explanation seldom refers to anything biological. Instead, it usually refers to behavior, such as eating habits. The kinds of behavior usually mentioned as risk factors are culturally determined. They are not genetic or biological.

Weekend warriors can limit pain and speed repair of those muscle tears
by eating cherries (lots of them)a few days to weeks before anout-of-the-ordinary workout.
According to the Cherry Marketing Institute, "Tart cherries maintain their beneficial red pigments longer than sweet cherries do precisely because they're tart. Anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for many of cherries' putative health benefits remain stable only at a low—acidic—pH. They degrade quickly at the higher pH of sweet cherries, as indicated by their brown color when overripe."
