  • 2/3s chicken contaminated

    Number of comments: 1
    If you've been watching great documentaries like Food Inc., or reading any Michael Pollan, you already know how disgusting factory farming is (the animals live in their own poop, pumped full of antibiotics so they won't DIE), so it 's no surprise all this gloop makes [...]

  • Simple: Cut Down on Fried Foods, Reduce Disease

    Number of comments: 0

    We could probably save tons of money on healthcare if we banned high fat fryers, but oh well, in the meantime, on this eve of the over-eatingest holiday, this fancy-schmancy scientific study basically says eating fried foods puts a lot of stress on your body, [...]

  • Hand Sanitizers have chemicals too...

    Number of comments: 2
    With the fears of Swine flu, there's more hand sanitizers out there than you can shake a stick at. I saw a huge wipe thing you're supposed to use on your grocery cart (or your kid? the indications were unclear: "For the safety of your children").[...]

  • Prenatal Smoke Exposure can cause Behavioral Problems

    Number of comments: 1
    Don't know if this pertains to secondhand smoke as well, but I would assume any smoke isn't good. From Medscape:

    November 9, 2009 (Honolulu, Hawaii) — Prenatal tobacco exposure (TE) has been linked to irritability in neonates, poor attention and information processing in infants, and impulsivity in preschool children,"" [...]

  • Off Label Marketing and DEADLY drugs

    Number of comments: 0
    Here's an article (rather long, but worth it) about off-label marketing schemes by major pharmaceutical companies. Our babysitter was put on neurontin off label even though it didn't DO anything for her. In a clinical trial for Eli Lilly's Zyprexa apparently 31 people DIED.

  • BPA in your canned tomatoes and soup

    Number of comments: 1
    If you saw my post on Sigg bottles, and are concerned about BPA and other plastic chemical leakage, put canned foods in that category. We only buy tomatoes if they are in glass (the organic "lined" cans weirded me out) especially because they are very acidic, and intuition seems [...]

  • SSRIs may be bad for sperm

    Number of comments: 0
    Eeek, besides the disturbing fact that so many of those crazy shooters (now, Columbine, and back) have been on SSRIs, which of course affect the biochemistry of your brain, apparently it looks like SSRIs may cause MAJOR DNA damage in sperm. The study used Paxil (interestingly, I have seen articles [...]

  • Present Idea, bamboo + silk scares

    Number of comments: 3
    You know I love organizations like Kiva that help people make a living, especially with green projects, folk medicines, etc. Well, it's present season and you might want to consider some of these great three-season silk and bamboo scarves that are made with pesticide free materials' [...]

  • UK Guardian

    Number of comments: 1
    The Slate.com article was reprised in the UK Guardian. They had a more sober view of cannabis, but then the so-called "health editor" questioned whether the improvement we were seeing was merely coincidental or a delusion on my part. He is welcome to fiddle while Rome burns, in my opinion:[...]

  • NYtimes, Mammograms: "Just Skip It"

    Number of comments: 1

    Longtime readers know I've been ranting about the dubious value of mammos and myself have never had one (search the blog for older posts) much to the chagrin of my midwives. Finally, turns out some prominent docs are agreeing, or at least finally questioning the' [...]

  • Soft Drinks Hard on the Body

    Number of comments: 2
    Interestingly, there is a faction of Coke Connoisseurs who prefer Mexican Coke over any other...reason why? Mexico use real sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. Sad to say SUGAR is much better for you than HFCS. But anyway, lay off the soda pop. It's hard on oyur metabolism, your' [...]
