Radiation, even at low doses, causes free radical formation, especially – OH free radical from water.  It reacts with the part of DNA called guanine to form 8 — hydroxyguanin, which is the marker of carcinogenesis.  You’d rather not have this process started at all in your body because carcinogenesis may lead to cancer. Because carcinogenesis is believed to be caused by free radicals, it can...

Words like “poisoned,” “contaminated,” “deadly” have become a part of our vocabulary in recent years, thanks to food recalls. It tears the industry apart and no doubt, has lasting effects on people. Mad cow disease, tomatoes, kids peanut butter crackers, and now eggs, we are faced with a myriad of information that we have to filter through every time. What’s truly dangerous, is it in our area, what can we do to protect ourselves, is it ever safe to buy the product again, what’s next? The truth is, that even with FDA controls, we can never truly protect the quality of our foods. There is always an opening for poisons, contamination, and deadly consequences. A recent Wall Street Journal article talk...

Here is more information about both.Eggs: The egg recall is leading to the recall of over 450 million eggs. The source seems to be a couple of Iowa farms that have a reputation for poor farming conditions. The first farm to recall eggs is the Wright County Egg farm owned by a business man named Austin DeCoster. The recall was as a result of salmonella poisoning. Later, another egg farm owned by him, Hillandale Farms, also recalled their eggs. When I look at the news reports, I wonder if the images I am seeing are actually from the inside of these farms, but wherever the footage is taken, it looks as cruel as I would expect from an egg farm that is only looking at chickens as $$ signs would look...chicken...

According to a report today given by the Mayor of New York there are people going to emergency rooms and doctors AFRAID that they have the flu, but none coming in at the time of this typing that have been diagnosed with Swine Flu.Some wonder whether it is okay to eat Pork during this time....yes, it is perfectly safe...as a nutritionist I have other concerns about pork including the fact that it carries parasites and more potential for food poisoning than other meats and needs to be cooked very well, NO pink meat...I've had food poisoning from undercooked pork and it is NOT fun. But Swine Flu is not carried in the meat of Pork.Fo...

I had eaten about 3 last week, and was feeling pretty nauseous and ill over the weekend, only to discover a warning on the site that this one item is something we have to throw away, because it uses the peanut butter affected from The Peanut Corporation of America. I'm supposed to receive replacements, but haven't received a reply yet on that...guess they must be busy with other peanut loving nuts like me:-)Products of companies such as Jenny Craig, Keebler, ShopRite, Trader Joe's, Nutrilite, Isagenix...

As suggested, I purchased grape tomatoes this week, and as I bought them, thought of the many farmers who will be affected by this, whether they have affected tomatoes or not. I thought of how each time something like this happens it impacts our economy. No one person, administration, or thing is causing the instability in the economy, it is a collection of things.I have even heard the trend toward growing organically being blamed, I wasn't convinced by the explanation, or lack there of, that I heard in the report, so have little to say on that.For this week, we will eat grape tomatoes, and I better get my large grape tomato plants in the ground,...

I have so far. I searched the name of the company online, and a number of companies by that name came up, I don't think this one of the many small operations online, but more likely major meat distributor.

The pictures of how the sick cows were mistreated were disturbing, and as if that wasn't enough, seeing them forced into cattle trucks for slaughter in inhumane ways that it upsets me to even type is an image that is hard to get out of my mind. That was in the news last week, then this week, we find that the ground meat that was recalled that could not be found has been found here in New Jersey schools. Just a little too close to home for me. Although we do eat meat, I am all for the humane treatment of animals that will one day give their lives to feed us, I do believe I've shared that on this blog before, and this was just another story that is pushing me ever closer to becoming a 100% vegetarian.
