A study recently published by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) suggests women who eat as much or more seafood as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends for pregnant women may be exposing themselves to unsafe levels of mercury, depending on the types of fish they’re eating.

On March 8, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) voted to become the first school district of its size to require hormone- and antibiotic-free chicken in its school meals. More than 732,800 students are enrolled at LAUSD’s 1.274 schools.
The full changes go into effect in fall 2017.
Researchers have found a common denominator in the brains of people with schizophrenia and autism: low levels of vitamin B12.
For the study, researchers examined the brains of those who have already passed away, with age ranging from the beginning of birth to 80 years old. Researchers found that vitamin B12 levels were 10 times lower in the oldest people compared with the youngest, indicating that levels decline consistently over the course of many years.

For years pregnant women have been told to limit their fish consumption due to high levels of mercury in some types of seafood.

Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases its “Dirty Dozen” list of the fruits and vegetables that rank highest in pesticide residues. This year, strawberries top the list.
For the first time, strawberries outrank apples, which previously headed the list for 5 years running.
Over the past year or two, McDonald’s made the decision to appear to offer customers healthy menu options, but appearances can be deceiving. If you’re going to go to McDonald’s for lunch or dinner, you might as well indulge a juicy Big Mac, because the fast food chain’s new kale salads have more fat and calories crammed into it than McDonalds’ flagship burger.
If you love white bread but avoid it because of the carbs and lack of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, yet the texture of wholegrain bread turns you off, purple bread might be the answer for you.
Purple bread is being hailed as the first baked superfood. Professor Zhou Weibiao, a food scientist at the National University of Singapore, says that bread has been “under attack” for 10 years. That’s because white bread is digested too fast, causes blood sugar spikes, and is linked to obesity and diabetes.
So Kraft Heinz changed its Mac & Cheese recipe, and no one noticed. Yup, the company is using a new recipe for its classic product that is now free of artificial dyes. Instead, Mac & Cheese is colored with paprika, annatto, and turmeric, and it has been that way since December, 2015.
