The 7 Worst “Healthy Food” Imposters…

Posted Monday, May. 23rd, 2011

Everywhere you turn, someone is telling you that this is good for you or that will improve your health.  We have orange juice that supposedly lowers cholesterol, flavored waters that boost immune health, and even cookies that help you lose weight!

While most of us are already skeptical of these types of claims, there are foods out there that fly under the radar.  They masquerade as healthy, simply lying in wait in to sabotage your health.

Here are seven of the worst healthy food imposters: (more…)

Ever wonder why that block of cheddar is bright orange?

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

ChatelaineBy Katherine Engqvist | Chatelaine – Mon, 26 Mar, 2012

Ever wonder why that block of cheddar is bright orange? 

Here’s a little food for thought today. . .

Have you ever wondered why cheddar cheese in North America is orange but in Europe and other places around the world it’s a whitish colour?

That’s because in North America some cheese is dyed to make it look more appealing. Cheese isn’t the only thing artificial dyes are added to and often these additives found in Canada and the United States are banned in other countries around the world.

Take tartrazine or more commonly known as Yellow No. 5. It’s banned in Norway and Austria but in North America it is often found in foods marketed towards children such as candy, ice cream, and soft drinks. But it’s not just found in food, tartrazine is also found in prescription drugs and cosmetics.

So why all the fuss?

A study published in The Lancet, a leading medical journal, found that artificial colours and/or a sodium benzoate preservative cause hyperactivity in children. As reported by CBC, it also contains more salt than the body can take as well as being linked to asthma, skin rashes and migraines.

Tartrazine isn’t the only additive that’s banned in other countries but can still be found in Canada. Colours like Allura Red (banned in Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Norway) and Sunset Yellow (banned in Norway and Finland) are among a list of additives that can be found in the Canadian food system (as reported by the CBC).

Carbs Without a Cause: Foods Worse Than White Bread

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

ShapeShape – Mon, 26 Mar, 2012

White bread has pretty much become bad-for-you public enemy number one; who doesn’t automatically order their turkey and Swiss on whole wheat? The reason, of course, is that white bread is processed-it’s had all its goodness stripped away, leaving a soft, squishy slice that was all the rage in the last century. But even if you’re a whole-wheat convert, other processed carbs may be finding their way into your diet, many with more than an entire day’s worth of recommended carbohydrates.

Your first line of defense is to opt for whole foods that are as close as possible to their original source, says Manual Villacorta, RD, author of Eating Free: The Carb Friendly Way to Lose Inches. And, as always, managing portion sizes is key. Otherwise, here are eight bad carbs that may be sneaking into your diet, even if you’ve sworn off the white slices forever. (more…)

5 Fresh Foods You Shouldn’t Keep in Your Refrigerator

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

EatingWellBy Hilary Meyer | EatingWell – Mon, 26 Mar, 20125 Fresh Foods You Shouldn't Keep in Your Refrigerator

Now that spring has sprung, I’m loading up on more fresh veggies, and that has me thinking about the best way to store them to keep them at their freshest. I only go to the grocery store once a week, which means I have to keep my produce stored properly to avoid ending up with a giant pile of bad veggies ready for the compost pile at the end of the week.

And as it turns out, the refrigerator is not the go-to storage unit for all your produce. Below are 5 types of produce you shouldn’t keep in your fridge. (more…)

Fact or Myth: Do Genetically Modified Foods Cause Cancer, Lung Damage & Birth Defects?

Monday, March 26th, 2012

(Republished from UNDERGROUND HEALTH REPORTER, under Section 107 of Copyright Law in the U.S. Complete article link below. This is republished without any compensation, EVER, but as a public service for educational purposes only. — Janice)

This is a fact.

In order to make crops more resistant to pests, scientists insert a special gene, called Bt-toxin – derived from Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria – into corn and cotton plants. The toxin attacks the stomach lining of nibbling insects, killing the pests within a couple of days of ingestion. More than 65 percent of U.S. corn crops contain this special gene that produces the insecticide.

Another alarming fact: 80% of the processed food items in your local supermarket contain genetically modified ingredients. This means that if you are a U. S resident, you are undoubtedly eating genetically modified foods.

These genetically modified foods have been sneaking into our diets since 1995, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) analyzed the first genetically engineered plant – corn. Today, 90% of several U.S. crops are grown with genetically engineered seed. genetically modified foods

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are “organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in such a way that it does not occur naturally.” Scientists insert a gene from one organism into another to “improve” or change the organism.

The biotech companies and the EPA assure us that genetically engineered toxins such as Bt-toxin are safe. They claim that it dissolves quickly in our stomachs, and won’t cause any side effects because humans and other mammals have no receptors for the toxin. This assertion arouses suspicion, as the Bt-toxin belongs to a family of bacteria (Bacillus Cerus) that cause food poisoning in humans. (more…)

Scanning the shelves at Loblaw’s grocery stores, shoppers might notice a change to the President’s Choice line: labels that adorn Blue Menu products, its healthier options, are newly redesigned. On the box of Fibre First cereal, two green arrows sit next to the Blue Menu logo. One points up, indicating it’s “very high in ?bre”; the other points down, and says it’s “low in fat.” On Blue Menu Angus burgers, a down arrow indicates reduced fat (compared to regular ones). The whole range of products is now marked with these arrows. It’s a small tweak, but Loblaw is hoping new labels will make it easier for consumers to make healthier choices, if they’re so inclined. Those arrows “put the product’s nutritional bene?ts front and centre,” says Al Lindsay, vice-president of brand marketing. (more…)

Popcorn as healthy as veggies? Depends how you pop it

Monday, March 26th, 2012
By Joy Bauer, TODAY nutrition expert

Who doesn’t love unwinding on a Friday night with a terrific movie and a great big bowl of fluffy popcorn? When prepared with just the right ingredients, popcorn is low in calories, heart-smart, and surprisingly chock-full of healthy nutrients. Adding to popcorn’s wholesome reputation, researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania reported this week that popcorn has more antioxidant substances called polyphenols than fruits and vegetables.

Popcorn has more antioxidant substances called polyphenols than fruits and vegetables.

Polyphenols have been linked to a reduction in heart disease and certain cancers. And, since it’s 100% whole grain, popcorn is also a great source of fiber — you get 5 grams in a 4-cup portion. That’s pretty darn impressive for a snack food. (more…)

Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans still have no idea that many of the beverages and foods they eat on a regular basis are contaminated with a neurotoxin posing as a sugar substitute. So to help raise awareness about the pervasive presence of toxic aspartame in the American food supply, Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has released a helpful infographic that identifies the top ten worst sources of aspartame.

The infographic highlights the use of aspartame in chewing gums, tabletop sweeteners, flavored water products, sugar-free foods and beverages, diet sodas, drink flavoring products, cooking sauces, children’s medicines, yogurts, and cereals. And while these are not the only sources of aspartame in the food supply, they are among the most common.

We women get a such bad rap for being the beautiful, emotional creatures we are, but admit it: We can be some moody wenches sometimes. Whether it’s hormonal — PMS, pregnancy, menopause — or astrological (Geminis are notorious for mood swings; Pisces swim in their emotions; don’t ever cross a Scorpio) — we’re not always whistling Dixie. But the next time you feel the crank coming on you might be able to head it off by simply sipping a tall glass of cold water. (more…)

5 Ways Sleeping Less Makes You Gain Weight Prevention

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

PreventionPrevention – Wed, 14 Mar, 2012

If you’re what researchers call a short sleeper (measured by how long you sleep each night–5.5 to 6 hours or less qualifies you), you’ll have trouble losing weight, no doubt about it. In a 7-year study of 7,022 middle-aged people, Finnish researchers found that women who reported sleep problems were more likely to experience a major weight gain (defined as 11 pounds or more).

You know that sleep and weight gain may be linked, but why is that? Here’s what the new research has revealed, and why lack of sleep could be stalling your ability to lose weight and keep it off: (more…)

How to Clean Up the Pineal Gland (7 simple steps)

Cleaning up the Pineal Gland is useful for those wishing to develop their multidimensional perception. The Pineal gland will naturally make its own DMT when fully operational and we will be able to remain in a visionary state most of the time. An awakened pineal gland brings the ability to consciously astral travel, explore other dimensions, foresee the future and receive communications from loving dimensional beings.

DMT is a component of Ayahuasca – a plant medicine from the Amazon that brings profound physical and heart healing through its purgative effects and the perception of other dimensions. Those that use this medicine go into a period of “work” where issues come into awareness and can be healed with the insights that come from DMT consciousness. (more…)

Find out what to eat and drink to catch more quality zzz’s

By Sarah Jio

 Trying to get more shut-eye? Take a look at your diet. Eating the right foods in the hours before you hit the hay may help you fall asleep faster, say experts, and even improve the quality of your sleep. Keep reading for your get-sleepy grocery list, and remember to stop noshing two hours before bedtime to give your body enough time to properly digest.
Almonds

“Almonds are a winner,” says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, medical director of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers, and author of the bestselling book From Fatigued to Fantastic! “They contain magnesium, which promotes both sleep and muscle relaxation,” he says. “And they have the added benefit of supplying proteins that can help maintain a stable blood sugar level while sleeping, and help promote sleep by switching you from your alert adrenaline cycle to your rest-and-digest cycle.” Try this bedtime snack: Have a tablespoon of almond butter or a 1-ounce portion of almonds to help your body relax.

Got Propaganda?

Selling milk looks easy and even fun when you see the celebrity milk-mustache ads. “Got Milk?” ads may be the most recognizable and spoofed of all ad campaigns, yet they are probably also one of the least successful: Milk sales have actually fallen every year since the ads began. The National Dairy Promotion and Research Program and the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Program admit “consumption has been declining for decades in the United States at about 1.0 percent per year,” in their yearly reports to Congress but plead that their marketing has “helped mitigate at least some of this decline.” Key words “help,” “at least” and “some.”
