Melamine and Your Health, Please be Aware
Comments (16)Whenever you get something in an email, it's best to assume it's FALSE until proven true. Especially if it has FWD or FW in the subject! It generally takes less time to verify it's a hoax than it takes to send the email to everyone in your address book. If it says they checked it with Snopes, CNN or God, it's a pretty safe bet they didn't. And if it said something like "send this to everyone you know...", DON'T! It's also a good idea to educate the person who sends you this spam. I cannot understand why people give email such absolute gospel-level of credibility on the most incredible things. Bill Gates WON'T pay you to send emails, nor will AOL; there's no bill to tax emails (though there should be); there is nobody who was charged $250 for a cookie recipe; there's no kidney theft ring working hotels and the Nigerian General WON'T make you a millionaire. (He promised that to me!) I've thought it would be interesting to test a theory: Send out an email telling everyone to stand in the middle of the road, flap their arms and cluck like a chicken at high noon on Christmas Day or the troops will not have underwear for two months. Just add that I checked it out and it's true. I wonder how many roads would be blocked by crowds? I suspect that many roads would would be impassable. Email hoaxes are a virus of their own. They tie up bandwith and cause trouble the world over. They cost people and companies money. Please don't feed the spammers....See MoreCommercial baby food and the health of today's children
Comments (9)In some cases the baby food on the shelf is a reflection of the store manager. What's on the shelf is what he/she ordered. If it was not ordered, it won't be on the shelf. At times, the mix may be from pressure from the baby food company. One way to pressure the store is to offer "packages" of a recommended mix. Another way is to tell the store manager, "Soon, we will not be supplying that particular food. It is loosing popularity." There has been sad cases of malnutrition in 3rd world countries partly from lack of communications and at other times when a mother strapped for money may water down the product to stetch the supply. Malnutrition is reduced in locations where mothers are informed about what constitutes good nutrition and the need for a balanced diet. In most cases, they find they can make their own "baby food" and it can be well balanced in fats, protein, starch, and carbohydrates. A vitamin supplement finishes the mix. Also, when you make your own from scratch, it is easier to control the salt content....See MoreMarch 3/16: Favorite links, wise quotes, your garden & health goals?
Comments (106)Jess: Yes, those people did that in 20 weeks (5 months), with lots of running & weight lifting, boxing, plus a high-fiber diet: lots of RAW veggies & fruits, lean fish & poultry, and low-fat. The dietician who designed Biggest Loser diet recommended at least 7 RAW fruits & veggies per day and 3 proteins. Always good to try new foods: I tried RAW Brussel sprouts (sliced thin) in salad and I'm addicted to it now. I tried FRESH turmeric yesterday (so yummy with chicken) and it was great in suppressing my appetite, didn't feel hungry for hours afterwards. I researched on turmeric since my Mom has diabetes, and even my skinny sisters are pre-diabetic. My blood-sugar is fine, but I need to bring down my triglycerides & cholesterol levels .. will have that tested end of this year. See excerpt from below link: "The published Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry confirmed that Turmeric could benefit diabetes. Turmeric, an ancient spice, can alter the pathological states of type 2 diabetes linked to heart disease, a dangerous complication of diabetes. In a new study on the reduction of formation of fatty deposits in the arteries, which is a risk for patients with type 2 diabetes it was found that curcuminoid extract can prevent this. Over a series of six months the study revealed the involvement of turmeric extract, curcumin does stop the fatty deposits forming on the inner surfaces of the arteries obstructing the blood flow." Avery July 31, 2015 at 9:15 pm I’ve bee using Turmeric powder for 8+ years. I keep it in a salt shaker and whenever, whatever I cook, from oatmeal to fish, vegetable, I put in about 3-4 shakes of Tumeric along w/a shake or two of Black or White Pepper, except of course in sweet foods, like Oatmeal, cookies, etc. Another great herb is “Fenugreek,” also from India and great for stabilizing blood sugar. Check w/your Doctors. RG February 18, 2015 at 8:42 am I was paying close to $500 per month on Diabetic Medicans. Since starting a Turmeric, I have stopped doctor prescribed Diabetic meds. What a savings! Dr Sheldon March 8, 2014 at 3:01 pm Transmax-resveratrol, an extract of purple grape skins, is a much more effective dietary alternatives to treat Type 2 Diabetes than Tumeric (curcumin). It, like Tumeric, can be used with drugs such as Metformin. In two recently published human clinical trials done by respected medical schools it was shown that transmax had the effect of reducing blood glucose, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, and even lowering body weight." *** From Straw: the 2 studies of resveratrol & diabetes are found in the below link. My grand-mother drank wine daily, she lived up to 98 year old. But I'm allergic to the sulfites in wine, and any purple-figment produce would do: be it red cabbage, red onion, red beets, or blueberries. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/8/prweb9794089.htm...See MoreYour new year goals & health news and recipes
Comments (237)Sharon, I use the soft floral foam (light green and it comes in rectangular blocks from the craft store/dept). I cut a piece to fit a tupperware dish. Make it a tight fit! Then I cut it into 2 inch cubes (doesn't have to be perfect..just run your knife through the foam that was inserted into the tupperware.) Poke a little hole, with a bamboo skewer, into the center of each cube. Fill the container about 3/4 way with water. I have well water but I used to do this with city water, doesn't seem to matter. Make your passiflora cuttings about 5 inches. You dont want the super soft ends but not so far down the stem that the nodes are really far apart. Take your cutting with a leaf node at the bottom. Cut off most of the leaves. Dampen the bottoms of the cuttings in water then dip them into dry rooting hormone like Rootone. Then poke one into each hole. Put them in a warm bright place. I've done them on a windowsill in Spring or under grow lights. Keep the water level up. You will be able to see the roots growing out through the clear tupperware. You can then take it and plant it in a cup or pot with potting soil etc. This actually works well with most vines and some semi hardwood plants. Some passies I did a few yrs ago. Sorry for typos Im on my phone lol....See More
