Q: I would like to know the name of the actress who plays oppo-

site Jeremy Renner in “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.” I think she was in “Clash of the Titans” too. Any info you have on her would be great. — Guy C., Webster, New York

A: You are speaking of the gor-geous and talented Gemma

Arterton, who, as you said, also played Io in “Clash of the Titans.” Gemma is one hot commodity right now, and it would take up too much space to tell you everything she has coming up, but I will sum up as best I can. Gemma — the Kent, England, native who turns 30 on Feb. 2 — began her acting career in grammar school, starring in numerous school productions, which eventually led to the Royal Academy of Dramat-ic Art. Her first major film role was as Strawberry Fields in “Quantum of Solace,” opposite Daniel Craig’s James Bond.

Gemma went on to co-star in “Clash of the Titans,” “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and “Hansel and Gre-tel.” She has numerous films in produc-tion or on the verge of being released, including “Their Finest Hour and a Half” with Bill Nighy, “The Girl with All the Gifts” with Glenn Close, and “A Hundred Streets” with Idris Elba.

Q: How much longer till “Bates Motel” returns? It has been

renewed for another season, cor-rect? — Dylan H., via email

A: Norma and Norman Bates will indeed be back for another

thrilling season of suspense, drama and, of course, a bit of sociopathic kill-ing. The 10-epsisode fourth season of “Bates Motel” returns to A&E on Mon-day, March 7, at 9/8c, with Freddie Highmore, Vera Farmiga, Max Thieri-ot, Nestor Carbonell and company all returning to continue the story of the Alfred Hitchcock seminal character of a boy with serious mommy issues.

Also, I had mentioned this a few months back, but don’t forget that the new thriller, “Damien,” will premiere after “Bates.” “Damien” follows the

titular character from “The Omen” hor-ror-film series, who is now a 30-year-old war photographer and has forgot-ten all about his satanic past. Damien Thorn, played by Bradley James, must come to terms with the fact that he is the Antichrist.

Q: My grandmom and I love watching “Rizzoli & Isles”

together, but I read that the show is ending. Please tell me it isn’t true! — Lydia R., Sacramento, California

A: This summer, Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander will return for

the seventh and final season of “Rizzo-li & Isles” on TNT. They will star in a shortened 13-episode season. While the show still is a fairly strong performer, TNT head honcho Kevin Reilly said they all “felt like it was time. Everyone said, ‘Let’s go out and finish 13 great ones and call it a day.’” I’ll let you know as soon as I have an exact premiere date for this final season.

Can Heart Surgery Cause Hot Flashes?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have had hot flashes, similar to those experi-enced by post-menopausal women, ever since my coronary bypass in 1990. I can be sitting quietly in a chair reading or at my computer, and suddenly I find myself dripping with perspiration. I also have had panic attacks, with increased heart rate and other physical symptoms. A few years ago, a 24-hour EKG showed heart-rhythm irregularities and that my heart stopped briefly while asleep.

If these idiosyncrasies of my auto-nomic nervous system are a conse-quence of my time on the heart-lung machine for the bypass, I’m not com-plaining — just curious. You said that studies have been done on almost everything. Is this one? — W.S.B.

ANSWER: I found that a lot of peo-ple complain of similar symptoms. I also found that indeed, the autonomic nervous system (the part of the ner-vous system that regulates tempera-ture, sweat, blood pressure and many other critical aspects of body function without our being consciously aware of it) can be adversely affected by cardiac surgery. Some authors have suggested that the autonomic nervous system changes are one mechanism by which people are more likely to have depression after cardiac surgery. I found several possible explanations why the ANS changes with bypass surgery, but no clear consensus.

I would want to be sure that there are no other causes of these symptoms. It sounds like you have had an extensive evaluation, but I certainly would be concerned about a sudden fast heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation.

The booklet on abnormal heart rhythms explains atrial fibrillation and the more common heart rhythm disturbances in greater detail. Read-ers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach — No. 107W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipi-ent’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

***DEAR DR. ROACH: I suffered a

long time with GERD. I was diag-nosed with Barrett’s esophagus, a precancerous disease. My doctor recommended a procedure called a Nissen fundoplication. Since the procedure, I have not had heart-burn again. I would do it again, after what I went through. I get an endos-copy every two years to keep an eye on my disease. — G.D.B.

ANSWER: Barrett’s esophagus is a complication of longstanding reflux. It is diagnosed when the lining of the esophagus starts to look like the lining of the stomach. Barrett’s esophagus can progress to cancer of the esopha-gus. About 0.2 percent of those with Barrett’s per year will develop cancer, which sounds low, but if you live with the condition for 25 years, that’s about a 5 percent risk.

Surgery for reflux disease is done only rarely. However, it is very effec-tive (85 percent to 90 percent). The most common reason to consider sur-gery is inadequate relief from medi-cations and lifestyle changes. How-ever, severe erosions from acid in the esophagus, inability to take medica-tions, a stricture (partial closure) of the esophagus and Barrett’s esophagus are all reasons to consider surgery. Sur-gery appears to reduce the risk of can-cer more than other treatments.

Drink Your AlmondsAlmonds are a healthy food choice.

They’re high in protein, vitamin E, fiber and minerals such as magne-sium, selenium, manganese, zinc, potassium, iron, phosphorus, omega-3 fatty acids and calcium.

Almond milk also is a healthy food choice. Drinking almond milk can help to lower LDL cholesterol and protect against heart disease. Almond milk has zero saturated fats and is lower in calories than cow’s milk. It has been used by many people who have allergies, lactose intolerance, diabetes or heart disease. Some con-sumers prefer almond milk solely because of taste and flavor.

Many people are using plant-based milks like almond milk in the place of cow’s milk. Why is it so popular? And which milk is better for you — almond milk or cow’s milk?

Cow’s milk provides many nutrients your body needs. It contains calcium, potassium, vitamin D and protein, all of which help to improve bone health and manage blood pressure. Because of its health benefits, the USDA rec-ommends three servings of dairy per day for the average adult.

Despite the many nutrients cow’s milk provides, the U.S. has seen a decline in sales and an increase in sales in plant-based milks. Almond milk in particular has grown in pop-ularity since 2011. While it has many healthy factors to consider, almond milk falls short nutritionally in many ways in comparison to cow’s milk.

Although many almond milk brands are lower in calories than cow’s milk (unsweetened almond milk has about 40 calories per cup), it’s also very low in protein. Most of the protein is lost during processing, resulting in water and almond water as the main ingre-dients. Most almond milk provides

only 1 gram of protein per serving compared to 8 grams of protein per serving from cow’s milk. Almond milk also is lower in potassium than cow’s milk.

Almond milk comes in many vari-eties, including sweetened, unsweet-ened, dark chocolate and vanilla. Some of these versions have added sugars, which the USDA warns will count against your maximum limit of “empty calories” (calories from solid fats and added sugars).

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that calcium-fortified beverages such as almond milk may provide the recommended amount of calcium, but may not provide other nutrients found in dairy products. The import-

ant thing to remember is to check the nutrition-facts label — look for milk or milk products that have adequate amounts of calcium, vitamin D and protein. Aim for products that are low in added sugars and saturated fats.

The bottom line is simple, wheth-er its cow’s milk or almond milk, the value of the product you choose depends on its composition, your nutrient needs and any underlying medical conditions. If you consume dairy, you may want to purchase both almond milk and cow’s milk and incorporate both into your diet to take advantage of their mutual benefits.

My recipe for Creamed Spinach with Crunchy Almond Topping uses

almond milk in the place of dairy to create a creamy, delicious side dish that’s lower in calories but full of flavor.

CREAMED SPINACH WITH CRUNCHY ALMOND TOPPING

4 (5-ounce) bags baby spinach 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greas- ing baking dish 1/2 small sweet onion, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon lemon pepper 2 cups unsweetened almond milk 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano- Reggiano or Cotija cheese 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) 2 tablespoons finely chopped marcona almonds

1. Heat oven to 425 F. In a large saucepan, heat 1 inch of water. Add the spinach by the handful; allow each handful to wilt before adding more. When the spinach is wilted, drain it, pressing out as much water as possible. Wipe out the pot.

2. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pot. Add the onions; cook over moderate heat until softened. Stir in flour, salt and lemon pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add almond milk and simmer until very thick, whisk-ing occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in cheese, nutmeg and spinach. Spoon into a buttered, 2-quart baking dish.

3. In a small bowl, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in panko and almonds, and sprinkle over the creamed spinach. Bake 15 minutes, until golden. Makes 4-6 servings.
