Don’t miss this featured segment on The Balancing Act:

• Behind the Mystery of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn

This special segment focuses on a rare blood condition, HDFN…or Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn, first reported by a French midwife more than four centuries ago.  As recently as the mid-1960’s, HDFN was averaging nearly 10,000 infant deaths annually. Thanks to medical science, and thousands of selfless blood plasma donors, this condition is treatable and controllable. Join Blood Banker Gale Meyer of Adventist Hinsdale Hospital who will discuss this rare but manageable medical condition. Viewers will also meet a woman whose pregnancy was tragically affected by HDFN nearly 30 years ago, and learn about her life-long commitment to helping others.

• QuickBytes Takes a Bite Out of Artisan Meat – with Kentucky Legend Ham

The Balancing Act heads to the kitchen as Chef Ralph Pagano takes a bite out of Kentucky Legend brand ham -- just in time for the holidays.  A tradition for 100 years, Kentucky Legend brands are known for their unique taste – thanks to their original double hickory-smoking process, which allows a rich flavorful experience. Each ham is hand-selected and trimmed, then slow-cooked in its own natural juices.  Ham is not just for slicing on a plate and placing in the center of the table! In this QuickBytes segment, Chef Pagano will show viewers how Kentucky Legend’s Artisan Crafted Series’ four delicious ham flavors -- Hickory, Honey, Black Pepper, and Brown Sugar BBQ – are versatile enough to use in sandwiches, wraps, snack, appetizers and more.
