1. The
National Geographic magazine
(November) features Adventists in the cover
story "The Secrets of Living Longer"? Copies are
now on the newstands.
22 million copies are printed world wide.
4. Best
of all - be in the study yourself.
Many members after seeing the
stories said, "That's my church that's my
study!" The National Geographic and media
stories were only possible because we had 34,198
members, with a wide variety of diets, in the 1976
study. Many more discoveries are likely in the
current study and
thus greater opportunities to impact the world.
But we need at
least another 20,000 members to join and complete
surveys. The more we have the greater the power of
our results. And
it's critical that all members are
encouraged to join, no matter what their diet,
lifestyle or
health status. No one will
spoil the study.
Can we
count on you? It's not too late. If you
