For me, there is nothing like taking time to look into something in order to write about it to open my eyes to things I haven't seen before. And that's just what happened to me this week. I am still learning how best to put into scientific words what all of this is about, but generally, it is altering the characteristics of an organism by injecting it's DNA with genes or other properties(?) from another organism. This tampering with the natural structure of, for example, corn or soy beans, common foods that are altered in this way, is naturally of concern to those of us who want to eat foods as close to the way God created them as we can in our tainted environment. I went into greater de...

It’s the sound of the weekend calling your name. We’re getting goosebumps of excitement. Here are ten things you’ll find us doing over the next two days: Rethink our shampoo choice. Our old brands are full of harsh chemicals, and we’re guessing eco-friendly brands smell just as good – or better. Continue our crafting. Last week we tried crocheting, and this weekend we’ll try our hand at knitting. Take all day to plan a beautiful meal. We’ll definitely be sure to take some photos, too. We’re sure the food will look amazing, but we also want proof that we slaved in a hot kitchen all day. Give up Coke for the weekend. We don’t know about you, but we’re getting a little freaked out about the possible side effects. We&#8...

This review does not address contaminant content (such as herbicide, pesticide and fungicide residues) of organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs.It is well proven that (most probably due to modern conventional farming and harvesting methods) average nutrient levels in food have reduced in recent years.

I think every parent of an ADD child, or every adult diagnosed with ADD, should be told that as part of the remedy they have to avoid certain foods. What do you think? Here's an article that may interest you, comment if you like!____________________________________________The possibility that artificial food colorings and chemical preservatives could affect your child’s behavior has been a hotly contested issue for decades. Research reported in the September 2007 issue of the Lancet Medical Journal now provides a clear demonstration that changes in behavior can be detected in three-year-old and eight-year-old children who ingest these artificial processed food additives.

The author referred readers to a single study published late last year that showed — in children without ADHD — that there was a correlation between drinking certain experimental liquid concoctions and hyperactive behavior in some of the children studied. I’m not sure why the BMJ published this editorial nearly 8 months after the study was published, an editorial that seemingly adds little new information or insight to the debate. Other than to note that most doctors don’t think about asking their young patients to limit intake of food or drink that have these specific food colorings or preservati...

The experts at Canyon Ranch ask us to consider these facts: The EPA estimates that 4.7 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment annually. It's likely that 25 percent of the U.S. population suffers from some level of heavy metal poisoning. Fourteen pounds of food colorings, additives, preservatives, emulsifiers, and flavorings are consumed per person each year. Toxic? Maybe. At minimum, though, we are living in a world filled with chemicals, pesticides, additives, preservatives, antibiotic and hormone residues, and heavy metals. Whether consumed, inhaled, or absorbed, our bodies soak this stuff up. In order to reduce the load, and the tol...

Think about all of the money poured into medicines, which are chemicals, that only treat certain symptoms. And most of the time create other side effects that we have to take more medicines for that in turn create more side effects, and on and on. You see where I am going.What if only a part of the millions and millions of dollars poured into research on medicines, was put to use in educating the public on the right choices of foods and nutrition...
