The lead into the article implores the reader to recognize that “clean eating means choosing fruits, vegetables, and meats that are raised, grown, and sold with minimal processing.” Michael Pollan, the regarded author of The Omnivores Dilemma and In Defense of Food, puts it even more simply: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” So here are the food items to avoid, in no particular order: 1) Canned Tomatoes – The resin t...

Canned heavy metal – Samples of tinned sardines, originating from six countries have been analyzed for total arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury content using spectroscopy. The analysis provides a useful baseline for a foodstuff – small pelagic fish – that could become increasingly important in a possible sustainable future and shows that arsenic rather than mercury could be the main concern in eating such smal...

What have you got planned? Check out our ideal weekend plans: Watch a foreign film. Yes, sometimes we stop watching yoga videos long enough to indulge in a little entertainment. Has anyone seen 5×2? Make some oatmeal. While it’s not usually what we reach for in warm weather, we need a wholesome, simple meal this weekend. We’ll somehow try to resist a breakfast of gravy and fried meat. Take a walk down memory lane. Now that we’ve revisited beloved commercials from our childhoods, we think it’s time to move on to TV shows. Small Wonder, anyone? Clean out the pantry. There is definitely some food we aren’t going to touch in there that would be much better off ...

But our freakouts aren’t unwarranted: BPA is an endocrine disrupter that is linked to health issues in men, women, and babies. Plus, the stuff is hard to avoid: it’s in pretty much all canned foods and many plastic bottles and containers. And according to a new study, BPA was even present on 40% of receipts collected from supermarkets, ATMs, gas stations, and retail chains. In some cases, the levels of BPA found were 1,000 times greater than the BPA found in the lining of canned foods. Ugh. We throw our receipts all over the place. They rub all over our groceries on the way home from the market and we keep them in our purse for months, right up against our lip gloss. While it’s not clear if the BPA...

Yes, bullying. Most of us have experienced bullying at one point in our lives, or know someone who has been bullied. Of course for most, the bullying didn’t result in lifelong scars. Part of that is because the extremes of bullying were not really known 20 or 30 years ago. You couldn’t bully someone 24/7 through Facebook, Twitter, email and forums devoted entirely to making other people’s lives miserable (yes, such online communities exist). So nowadays sometimes bullying is taken to an extreme. Not by one or two teens or kids, but by a whole gang of them. In central Massachusetts, it led Phoebe P...

Answer: your heart could stop ticking. I am not kidding.Australian man, Matthew Penbross (28), found that out recently after drinking eight of the super-highly caffeinated beverages during a five hour period. I guess eight is his unlucky number, because after downing that last one he collapsed. An ambulance was called and the first aid crew found Penbross having a heart attack. Realizing his heart had stopped, they had to use a defibrillator to get his heart pumping again. The obvious question: why was he drinking so much darn Red Bull?? Answer: he was competing in a motocross (motorcycle racing) event and wanted to get his adrenalin pumping. "It was to get a bit of a buzz and keep do...

The food products may contain botulism toxin. Four people have been hospitalized so far. A recall of canned meat products and dog food made at a Georgia plant due to botulism fears could involve tens of millions of cans that pose an urgent public health threat, U.S. officials said on Monday. U.S. food regulators appealed to consumers and retailers to find and dispose of the cans. Two people in Texas and two others in Indiana remain seriously ill and hospitalized with botulism poisoning associated with eating Castleberry's Hot Dog Chili Sauce, officials said. "This is a very big recall," David Elder of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's office of regulat...

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...
