i want to thank emily [inaudible] on the kats of wem squn ruburta guise who is with the american association of university women for all their help today and their help to achieve equal pay here in san francisco. today april 14 represents how far into 2015 women must work in order to earn what men did in 2014. equal pay day is a symbol of ha far we need to go for equal pay. full time employed women on average earn 78 cents for every dollar men ern. that figure is slightly better in san francisco. i have seen it where it was 81 or 87 cents, but it is till not 100. for women of color the gap is bigger. whether folks have a college education and work in a white or blue caller job, or have childrens women are paid less than men. studies show with personal choizing and experiences are accounted for across industries and at every level the wage gap still persists. when women are undervalued and underpaid they have a harder time making ends meet carrying for the families and sabeing for retirement. the gap hurts women and families and our economy as a whole. this resolution will declare today equal

know the substance they were getting let alone being able to shop around for it in 1968 the american medical association publishes an mayoral in the journal of the american muscle association saying, you know, it might be about time for us to encourage and allow pharmacists to put the names on the label because it was actually considered up ethical and illegal for pharmacists to tell patients the name of their drugs without the express written permission of their physician, and the -- the ama said we should change that. they had a number of physicians write back saying, if you tell patients what's in the bottle you'll destroy the basis of the doctor-patient relationship. why would you think? essentially there's a couple of arguments they make and one is --... and ethnical set of precepts of how much you practice. but, of course, we are dramatically different. the framework and medical information it is ours. physicians and pharmacists have no right to exclude are information from us, that is radical change. many lists and modernists they work the 21st century i sometimes hold i sometimes hold this examp

. >> i think the american heart association is very clear about this. and that's where the confusion is, one we say cholesterol is not good for you. then we come back and say cholesterol is perfect for you. you need cholesterol to make your hormones. all of that is a priority. cholesterol goes through the liver and you make those hormones. so cholesterol is essential for you. what the american heart association wants you to know is there's a difference between good cholesterol and bad cholesterols. we've talked about good cholesterols, salmons, nuts. stay away from transfat, saturated fat, processed meat, all of those cholesterol bad ones. they're still reminding you that good exercise, healthy diet is all part of this. so unlike the old-fashioned way where we said if you take cholesterol, you're going to die, we think it's the bad cholesterol, the transfat that makes those plaques. >> how many eggs can i eat a we week. >> depends on your metabolism. >> i agree that we can get our cholesterol in better places, there are much healthier foods for us to eat
