Dr. Healthnstein's Body Fun CD is Released! 
This much-sought after game also available on CD! Developed to help children learn to make healthy lifestyle choices in an entertaining and educational experience. The National Cancer Institute tells us that 70 percent of cancer is directly attributable to diet and smoking. We understand that attitudes and habits formed in childhood can strongly influence a person's future health. If we teach children about the benefits of good nutrition and exercise and the hazards of smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, we will increase their chances for longer, healthier and happier lives.
