Over the past several decades, children have developed dairy allergies at an ever-increasing rate. These persistent allergies have developed into chronic ear infections, sinus infections, eye infections, and the like. What exactly is so different about today’s dairy products compared to those of yesteryear?
The short answer is that dairy farming itself has changed … in a big way.
As McDonald’s continues to lose money each month as millions reject its GMO-loaded fast food, a company called Amy’s Kitchen is making an awesome move towards making real food more accessible than ever before. The company is launching the first 100% non-GMO, organic-based drive-thru that will offer a host of locally sourced meals.
Not much has changed in how ‘fast’ food is made in America. Since 1996, the number of calories in a typical fast food meal are about the same as they are today. Can you guess just how many calories that mega food makers like to put in their mass-consumed food – aside from harmful ingredients like the high fructose corn syrup, GMO corn and soy, chemical flavorings, MSG, toxic food dyes, and other ‘additives?
While the Food and Drug Administration ignores some of the biggest health threats faced by the nation, we can at least be reminded that the organization is finally paying attention to consumer complaints about trans fats. In an uncommon show of good sense, the FDA is requiring that companies phase out the artery-clogging, heart disease-igniting ingredient.
As reported by CNN:
Did you know that there are certain parts of the world where individuals have been found to live particularly long lives? These areas are called “blue zones,” and they may contain more than just people that practice active, healthy lifestyles.
Anyone who cooks on occasion usually has a pantry full of spices, but they can do more than flavor our food. Some might be more exotic, like Pasilla de Oacaca Chile or Ajwain, but many common spices have incredible healing properties. And there are simply some healing herbs and spices everyone should have in the kitchen.
Here’s a disturbing reality: the average woman in America now weighs as much as the average American male weighed in 1960. What’s more, the average weight of a male is ballooning as well. But don’t worry, mega food corporations like Monsanto and soda lobbying groups say we’re doing just fine.
There’s no way there could be a connection between the degradation of the food supply and America’s massive increase in obesity rates, right?
Determined to be up to 150 times sweeter than sugar, stevia has been touted for many years as a natural substitute for white refined sugar as well as the various artificial sweeteners.
Stevia has the added benefits of being pH-stable, heat-stable, and non-fermentable. The two primary active compounds — stevioside and rebaudioside — are known as steviol glycosides.
DDT, the pesticide once used in WWII was banned in the US in 1972, but it remains in the soil for decades. The good news is that a simple vitamin can reduce its negative effects.
DDT was considered a ‘miracle’ when it was first created. It was the first important synthetic pesticide from chlorinated hydrocarbon (organochlorine) discovered by a Swiss chemist named Paul Muller in 1939.
In line with some US-based organizations created to give completely free food to the poor, France recently passed a law that bans supermarkets from throwing away unsold food, and instead behooves them to donate it to charity
