Say ‘good morning’ to the Israeli breakfastBy Avigayil Kadesh 24 April 2013 https://mfa.gov.il/MFA/IsraelExperience/Lifestyle/Pages/The-Israeli-breakfast.aspx t’s an open secret that if you eat an “Israeli breakfast” you won’t need to eat lunch. And maybe not even dinner. Especially if you take along a doggie bag to pack up leftovers from the bountiful buffet-style morning meal that Israeli hotels – and many restaurants – are famous for. Israeli breakfast is a culture unto itself. The usual items on the smorgasbord are eggs in several styles (more on that later), a variety of vegetable salads (chopped cucumber and tomato, for sure), smoked fish, hard and soft cheeses, fresh breads, yogurts, fruit, granola, blintzes, vegetable soufflés, pancakes or waffles. Coffee, tea and fresh juices complement the meal, while pastries are put out for dessert – if anyone still has enough room in the belly by then. Why is the Israeli breakfast menu such a far cry from the standard American coffee, danish and/or cold cereal, or the meat-heavy Continental morning fare? It’s all because of another Israeli cultural symbol, the kibbutz collective farm. “You had two very divergent breakfast cultures in Israel, one of which came out of austerity — the lachmaniya [hard roll] and leben [a type of buttermilk],” says food writer-historian Gil Marks, who relocated to Israel from New York in August 2012. “The other came out of the kibbutz culture, because if you have a long day of manual labor ahead, you need a good breakfast and can’t get by on leben. They would have a rather extensive spread of whatever was available, and the Israeli hotels picked up on that.” Most Israeli hotels maintain a kosher kitchen. Breakfast meat could not be on the menu, therefore, because the dietary laws prohibit mixing meat with milk. The kibbutz-style breakfast buffet offered a filling option for tourists who might otherwise miss their morning bacon and eggs. Today, some of Israel’s non-kosher restaurants have put the meat back in the breakfast menu while sacrificing none of the traditional items. A prime example is Benedict in Tel Aviv, where you can have ham with your eggs Benedict. The basics of an Israeli breakfast According to Marks, the must-haves of an Israeli breakfast buffet include various flavors of yogurt, which replaced leben by the end of the 20th century; scrambled or hard-boiled eggs; rolls; cold cereals; and two kinds of hot cereal (daisa) — oatmeal (though oats are not native to Israel) and semolina porridge. “You’ll also have different salads, and North African-Mediterranean-Middle Eastern foods like shakshuka, which is usually the way the eggs are served,” says Marks, who provides his own shakshuka recipe in his award-winning Olive Trees & Honey cookbook. This hot mélange of tomatoes, bell peppers, poached eggs and spices – sometimes called a cousin of huevos rancheros – comes in different styles. “If you see tomato sauce with eggs in it, it’s the classic one,” says Marks. A more extensive smorgasbord may also include traditional Yemenite Sabbath foods such as malawach (fried bread dough) and jachnoun (malawach that gets rolled up and baked). As for the vegetable soufflés, Marks explains that this dish is actually the Iberian-inspired pashtida, which is a cross between the Eastern European kugel and the French quiche. “Pashtida should have some form of a crust, while kugel does not, although in Israel pashtida has made a comeback as a synonym for a quiche,” he explains. “So you will find at breakfasts different pashtida-quiches, and some European foods also show up, such as croissants and pastries as opposed to Middle Eastern burekas, which are also quite common.” Not just for breakfast anymore By the 1950s says Marks, Israeli restaurants began getting on the breakfast bandwagon. This was a significant advance, because it meant that now the classic Israeli tourist breakfast wasn’t just for tourists anymore. Israeli residents call it just plain “breakfast” (aruchat haboker in Hebrew, meaning “morning meal”) and it’s often available all day long. Google “Israeli breakfast” and you will find no shortage of recommendations for where to eat this all-important meal. In Lonely Planet’s recently released “Food Lover’s Guide to the World,” Jerusalem’s Tmol Shilshom café was cited as a Top 10 spot for the world’s best breakfast, specifically for its shakshuka. “Don’t forget to ask for extra crusty bread to mop up the hearty sauce,” the guide advised. Some other frequently recommended breakfasts in Jerusalem are served at Café B’Gina, Café Modus, Alice, Mamilla Café and Nocturno. In Tel Aviv-Jaffa, breakfast hot spots include Mazzarine, Loveat, Orna & Ella, Dr. Shakshuka, Café Arlozorov, Café Birnbaum and Cordelia. |

Classic Israeli Hummushttps://www.thespruceeats.com/israeli-hummus-pareve-2121734 Hummus—that much loved, humble chickpea dip—is a vital part of the cuisine throughout the Middle East. In Israel, where it’s served at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack times, it’s practically iconic. Nowadays, you can find tubs of hummus in supermarkets worldwide, in all sorts of flavors. But nothing beats homemade hummus, and once you get the hang of the basic recipe, you can tweak it to get exactly the texture and flavor you desire. Hummus is naturally high in good fat because of its sesame seed and olive oil content, with around 1 tbsp (30g) containing 8g of unsaturated fats. Hummus is low in carbohydrates and is also a fairly good source of plant-based protein and fibre. Depending on the recipe, it can be slightly high in salt, so it needs to be used sparingly if you’re watching your salt intake. Hummus contains some omega-3 fats, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, as well as most of the B vitamins. It also counts as one of your 5-a-day because it contains chickpeas, but only up to a maximum of 80g, which is approximately 3 tbsp. |

Pita Breadhttps://www.thespruceeats.com/israeli-pita-bread-2121767 This recipe for Israeli pita bread makes it easy to enjoy your own fresh pita breads (pitot in Hebrew) warm from the oven. If you want to make them ahead, you can store them in the freezer so they stay fresh, then warm them up before serving. Pita, by the way, isn’t the only bread you’ll find in a typical spread. Rolls, multigrain breads, challah, and bagels are all popular choices, too. |
|
Israeli Saladhttps://www.thespruceeats.com/classic-israeli-salad-2121980 This chopped tomato and cucumber salad is so iconic of Israeli cuisine that it has been dubbed “Israeli salad,” and shows up on the table any time of day—breakfast included. It’s virtually impossible to imagine stuffing a falafel sandwich or enjoying some freshly baked pita and hummus without it. The truth is, Israelis aren’t the only ones who appreciate this simple salad; you’ll find similar recipes throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean region. Some include fresh herbs, other vegetables, or vinegar. Each ingredient in the salad has unique health benefits. Fresh Persian cucumbers (peel on) are fat-free, full of water, and a good source of fiber. Fresh tomatoes provide Vitamin C, A, and cancer fighting lycopene (organic tomatoes provide up to three times the lycopene of non-organic!). Onions are rich in chromium, a trace mineral that helps cells respond appropriately to insulin. Onions can lower blood sugar levels, and they’ve also been shown to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Fresh parsley is a great source of Vitamin K. It also contains Vitamins C and A, Folate, and anti-oxidants. Lemon juice is full of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and potassium. It’s also a natural diuretic. Olive oil provides a healthy dose of MUFA’s (mono unsaturated fatty acids) and can help with digestion. See the full post:https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/israeli-salad-week/#mghmOhpgrHfd2fPG.99 |

Baba Ghanoush Eggplant Dip Recipehttps://www.thespruceeats.com/easy-vegan-baba-ganoush-eggplant-hummus-3377666 Popular throughout the Middle East, Baba Ghanoush—also known as Baba Ghanouj and Babaganoush—is a dip or spread made of roasted eggplant and tahini. The recipe is straightforward: simply roast the eggplant, spoon out the softened pulp, and then puree with tahini and seasonings. Scoop it up with fresh pita bread or raw veggies. This dish is a great source of proteins and dietary fiber. It also contains a lot of fat with up to 30 grams of fat. However, this fat is healthy as it consists of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. |

Chia Oatmeal PuddingA alternative to a sugary American Breakfast. Oats are Heart Healthy: You may or may not know that heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. And, you’re probably trying to think of ways to not be afflicted by this unfortunate disease. Fortunately, oats are great for your heart! They contain a fiber called beta-glucan which is shown to be effective at reducing both total and LDL cholesterol levels. The beta-glucan can also increase the excretion of cholesterol-rich bile, which in turn helps circulate levels of cholesterol in the blood. Last, oats can help with reducing inflammation in the arteries, reducing risks for heart attacks and strokes.
Optional Toppings – fresh berries or diced fruit, Bananas, Dried Dates, cut lengthwise and remove the pitt, dried berries or fruit, chopped nuts, seeds, nut butter, yogurt, granola, shredded coconut, cacao nibs

Hashachar Ha`ole” Chocolate Spread and Israeli Bakery items |
|
OK; Bottom line is this is highly adictive and will ruin your diet. That said: Think of chocolate spread as Israel’s answer to Nutella, only without the hazelnuts. Like its much loved Italian counterpart, Israeli chocolate spread first hit the market in the mid-1940s and has been popular as a breakfast spread, snack, and dessert ever since. Unlike Nutella, the most commercial chocolate spread is pareve, so it can be enjoyed any time of day or night.The original and arguably most popular brand in Israel is called “Hashachar Ha`ole” literally – “Bright Morning” spread—so how can one not associate it with breakfast? Try it on challah or warm pita, or as a filling for crepes. Add some banana or strawberries if you want to up the nutrition factor.Bourekas

Coffee“No matter when and how you drink your coffee, coffee is always a break of sanity, a moment of sober contemplation of the world.” Israel has always had a strong coffee culture, ELITE Instant Coffee “Nes Cafe” is the most popular coffee here but historically Turkish coffee is a perpetual mainstay. But espresso-based drinks have gained lots of ground, too. One favorite is the “cafe hafuch,” or “upside-down coffee,” a latte-like drink made with steamed milk on the bottom, espresso, and sometimes foamed milk on top. |
|
OlivesOlives are very high in vitamin E and other powerful antioxidants. Studies show that they are good for the heart and may protect against osteoporosis and cancer. The healthy fats in olives are extracted to produce olive oil, one of the key components of the incredibly healthy Mediterranean diet. They’re a natural fit for a meal featuring savory fares like hummus, cheese, and eggs. |

FruitIsrael is known for it’s Fruit. Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. None have cholesterol. Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients that are underconsumed, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid). Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice. Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories. Whole or cut-up fruits are sources of dietary fiber; fruit juices contain little or no fiber. Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy. Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development. |

Gavina LabnehGavina Labneh is a thick, tangy strained yogurt that’s delicious with cucumber and tomato salad, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with za’atar, or served as a spread for pita and breakfast breads. Like most Middle Eastern foods, labneh is extremely good for you. Apart from being an important source of protein, labneh is considered a probiotic food, meaning that it is high in a range of healthy bacteria that help to boost your immune system. Fruit yogurts also tend to make an appearance on Israeli breakfast buffets, so if you prefer things on the sweeter side, feel free to add. |

A chemical creation that killed 400,000 individuals (many of which were innocent or our own troops), led to 300,000 plus birth defects, and continues to haunt veterans and their families to this day. We also know that Monsanto managed to slip away from criminal charges without so much as a real apology. Quite simply, this is a company with a confirmed history of widespread death that has, in typical mega corporation fashion, utilized an army of lawyers to protect itself from fair treatment within the court system. |

![]() Nutrient deficiencies on the rise: Vitamin A levels take a nosedive over the last decade, causing the rise of infectious diseases such as measlesFriday, August 16, 2019 by: Lance D Johnson https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-08-16-vitamin-a-levels-take-a-nosedive-rise-of-infectious-diseases-measles.html Vitamin A deficiency and measles resurgenceBetween 2008 and 2017, the average vitamin A blood concentration fell by four percent every year for children between the ages of 1.5 and 18. The same downward trend was observed in the elderly (65 and older). Vitamin A blood levels dropped an average two percent each year for all other adults (19-64 years). This is deeply concerning because vitamin A levels impact infectious disease duration and severity, including but not limited to: measles. A greater vitamin A level helps fortify the intracellular T-cell response of the immune system. This is the part of the immune system that is already weakened in people who are heavily vaccinated. Vaccine science generates an unsustainable, short-term, allergic, extra-cellular B-cell response, but this augmentation inevitably weakens the response of T cells that work to eliminate viruses within the cells. Plummeting vitamin A levels throughout the population and over-vaccination plays a role in early childhood death and the resurgence of measles and other infectious diseases. Iron deficiency and anemiaThe study also found that iron levels are rapidly falling in women, primarily young girls and women of child-birthing age. Iron deficiency causes birth defects, primarily neural tube defects. Young girls between four and 10 years saw the sharpest decline in iron levels (.2mg/day), which ultimately causes anemia. In 2015, iron deficiency anemia affected up to 1.48 billion people. During the past decade, anemia risk has risen by 19 percent for children between the ages of 11 and 18. Iron deficiency is a global health crisis, resulting in 54,000 deaths annually. |

The extensive study on worldwide diet trends identified a link between unhealthy diets and 11 million deaths around the globe in 2017. Over 50 percent of these deaths were associated with consuming a lot of salty foods and not getting enough fruits and whole grains. Junk food and premature deathData from the study revealed that a bad diet is worse for your health compared to alcohol consumption and other common risk factors for premature death. Poor diets were significant contributors to deaths associated with cancer, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes. Analyzing dietary factorsThe researchers conducted the study as part of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) research effort. The program aims to gather and analyze data concerning premature death and disability from over 350 diseases and injuries in 195 countries. Eat more greens and less meatThe researchers also determined the optimal intake for every dietary factor by estimating the levels of intake linked to the lowest chances of death. |

![]() 9 Superfoods with powerful anti-viral properties18March2020 by: Divina Ramirez https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-03-18-9-superfoods-with-anti-viral-properties.html GarlicGarlic is a powerful anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent. It fortifies the immune system against mild infections, like the common cold, by stimulating the production of white blood cells. Its anti-viral properties also allows garlic to help fight different viruses, such as the influenza viruses that cause the flu and the rhinoviruses that cause the common cold. Shiitake mushroomShiitake mushroom can also boost the immune system because it contains high amounts of beta-glucans, which are found in the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, yeasts and algae. Beta-glucan supplements are commonly used to treat hyperlipidemia, hypertension and canker sores. However, recent studies have shown that beta-glucan also has anti-viral effects against influenza, swine flu and hepatitis. ElderberryElderberries are commonly used to relieve symptoms of the flu. They also possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that strengthen the immune system. Elderberries may also be effective against viral infections caused by the herpes simplex virus and HIV. SproutsMany sprouts, like mung bean sprouts and broccoli sprouts, provide the body with high amounts of essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Mung bean sprouts, in particular, also possess powerful anti-viral and antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, broccoli sprouts have been shown to enhance anti-viral host defense responses, thanks to the activity of a compound called sulforaphane. Citrus fruitsCitrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, tangerines, grapefruits, limes and pineapples, contain high amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is essential to many body functions, including metabolism, bone development and cell repair. It also plays an important role in fortifying the immune system against diseases and viral infections. Many green, leafy vegetables contain vitamin C. These include chili peppers, thyme, parsley, spinach, kale and broccoli. (Related: Chinese doctors study vitamin C for treating coronavirus infections.) RosemaryThis aromatic herb is used in traditional medicine to boost immunity, relieve muscle pain, improve memory and stimulate hair growth. Rosemary contains a plant compound known as oleanolic acid, which can also be found in olives, garlic and brush cherries. Aside from its antioxidant and antibacterial effects, oleanolic acid has potent anti-viral effects against the herpes simplex virus, HIV, influenza and the hepatitis A virus. YogurtPlain, unsweetened yogurt is rich in probiotics that improve digestion and promote a healthy gut. Some strains of probiotics also possess anti-viral effects against respiratory viruses. HerbsMany herbs possess anti-viral properties that fortify the immune system against infections, such as:
Green teaEpigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a unique plant compound found in green tea leaves that has anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties. Green tea is known to be potent against HIV, the herpes simplex virus and the hepatitis B virus. |

![]() Eating Healthy on a Budget – 5 Tips for Smart, Healthy Shoppingby Paul Fassa May 8th, 2013 https://naturalsociety.com/5-tips-eating-healthy-on-a-budget-smart-shopping/ A Few Suggestions for Eating Healthy on a BudgetThere are many tips and tricks for saving money while eating healthful foods at the same time. Many people think it’s not possible, but you may be surprised. Here are a few suggestions for eating healthy while on a budget. 1. BreadsHere’s where you have to spring for the bucks. If possible, invest in a bread making machine and make your own from non-wheat grain items ordered online or from local bulk bins. Then you’ll get the highest quality breads for the cheapest prices, though admittedly with the most work. Otherwise, try to find a local bakery that makes fresh, organic bread without bleached white flour or bromides (bromine). 2. and 3. Grains and LegumesOrganic rice and beans from bulk bins are healthful and cheap. Healthy cold pressed oils, lemons, and spices can give you a variety of flavors. Avoid canned beans even if they’re in non-BPA cans. 4. ProduceThis is the trickiest for budgeting when it comes to fresh organic produce. It requires serious shopping and coupon/sales flier scavenging. If you can’t find organic produce to fit your budget, at least avoid the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) “dirty dozen” and shop for their “clean fifteen” listed here. 5. SoupsWhen it comes to soups, do not choose MSG laden instant soups or conveniently canned soups, even if their labels say no BPA. Slow cook soups the old fashioned way with veggies, potatoes, and beans. A wand or stick immersion blender is ideal for grinding and mixing the veggies in your soup as it cooks in the pot. |

![]() Reverse smoking damage with fresh apples and tomatoes: Study finds they repair lung tissue and slow aging of the lungsWednesday, September 05, 2018 by: Michelle Simmons The findings of the study revealed that adults who, on average, ate more than two tomatoes or more than three portions of fresh fruit a day showed a slower decline in lung function than those who ate less than one tomato or a portion of fruit per day. The result also noted that adults who stopped smoking and ate a diet high in tomatoes and fruits had a slower decline in lung function in a ten-year period. This indicated that nutrients in their diets aid in repairing the damage caused by smoking. Additionally, the natural decline in lung function was slower in all participants who ate the most amount of tomatoes, even those who did not stop smoking. “Lung function starts to decline at around age 30 at variable speed depending on the general and specific health of individuals,” according to Vanessa Garcia-Larsen, the study’s lead author. The research also presents the possibility of diet as a way to aid lung damage repair for people who have quit smoking. Moreover, a diet rich in fruits slows down lung aging for all people, even those who never smoked. “Our study suggests that eating more fruits on a regular basis can help attenuate the decline as people age, and might even help repair damage caused by smoking. Diet could become one way of combating rising diagnosis of COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease] around the world.” However, the researchers only saw the protective effect in fresh fruits and vegetables and not on other dietary sources, such as dishes and processed foods that contain fruits and vegetables, like tomato sauce. “The findings support the need for dietary recommendations, especially for people at risk of developing respiratory diseases such as COPD,” she said. The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, was funded by the European Commission and led by Imperial College London. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., killing over 480,000 Americans every year. It causes detrimental effects on almost all of the body organs, leading to many diseases and impairing the overall health of smokers. (Related: Smoking causes up to 40% of cancer deaths in the US… so why are cigarettes still sold by pharmacies?) Read more stories on the detrimental effects of smoking at StopSmoking.news. |

![]() 5 Superfoods that need be in your diet todayWednesday, July 25, 2018 by: Earl Garcia https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-07-25-5-easy-ways-to-achieve-the-remarkable-benefits-of-superfoods.html Plant foodsAccording to Dr. Hyman, this food group represents a vast array of vegetables that contains up to 25,000 compounds that are beneficial for the health. According to a study published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, polyphenols found in these vegetables contain powerful antioxidant properties that help fight infection and protect the body from pathogen aggression and ultraviolet radiation. According to Dr. Hyman, our hunting and gathering ancestors consumed more than 800 varieties of plant foods. The world-recognized leader recommends that people follow a diverse diet with many fresh and colorful fruits and vegetables. Rainbow foodsDr. Hyman says every fruit and vegetable color identifies with certain types of healing properties. He suggests that people incorporate more colors in their diets.
MushroomsMushrooms such as reishi, shiitake, and cordyceps have powerful healing properties that promote healthy hormone production and bolster the body’s immune system. Mushrooms also contain anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antiviral properties. These fungi are also packed with selenium that helps improve the body’s immune response to infection. Mushrooms keep certain conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity in check. Dr. Hyman recommends that people incorporate mushrooms in a variety of recipes, such as reishi tea or mushroom soup. Healthy fatsAccording to Dr. Hyman, cell walls made from healthy fats appeared better at metabolizing insulin. This helps keep the body’s blood glucose levels in check. Eating the right types of fat may also facilitate fat metabolism. The doctor recommends consuming healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, and seeds as well as wild fatty fish, grass-fed meat, and extra-virgin olive oil. SeedsSeeds are high in dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, according to Dr. Hyman. He suggests adding seeds — such as chia, hemp and flax seeds — to smoothies and baked goods to reap their benefits. Chia seeds in particular are touted for their high protein and omega-3 fatty acid content. Hemp seeds and flax seeds on the other hand contain huge amounts of essential minerals. |

8 Telltale Signs are “Flashing”Without further adieu, here are 8 telltale signs that you’ve consumed some toxic food and your “symptoms” need more than just cover up medicine, in fact, your body needs organic food, from now on: Most prescription medications seem idioticAny intelligent, informed human being listening to the advertisements for QUACK medications on television today immediately realizes that the side effects are 10 times worse than the condition being treated, and 9 out of 10 times, the condition being treated is a host of symptoms resulting from consuming toxic food. If you imagine that you are watching a comedy skit, perhaps a Saturday Night Live mock commercial, you can laugh at these real commercials for real prescription medications and know that they do nothing but harm to the body and the brain. By covering up symptoms or temporarily “killing the pain,” human beings are acting like complete idiots, asking for massive system failure later on, all while they continue consuming toxic food. There is a simple solution to the madness.

![]() 5 Poison ‘Medicines’ Women Should Avoid and Replace with Natural Remediesby Christina Sarich July 1st, 2013 https://naturalsociety.com/5-medicines-women-avoid-replace-natural-remedies/ 1. Uva Ursi Instead of AntibiotoicsAntibiotics are already over-prescribed for many ailments, and they are causing bacteria to become stronger and more resistant to the prescription drugs that are often prescribed. Urinary tract infections are often stubborn and are primarily treated in allopathic medicine with more than one type of antibiotic. This type of infection can happen often in women, and is sometimes referred to as ‘the honeymooner’s disease.’ Uva Ursi, also known as bearberry, has been used for centuries as a natural diuretic and homeopathic treatment for ailments like urinary tract infections, bladder inflammation, and other inflammatory diseases primarily due to two chemical constituents: arbutin and hydroquinone. The herb is also full of antioxidants and has an astringent affect, so it naturally fights unwanted bacteria. Conversely, antibiotics disrupt the natural flora of the gut and wipe out all the good bacteria in the bladder and urethra so that persistent urinary tract infections are more likely to occur. 2. Chrysin in Passion Flower Extracts Instead of Breast Cancer DrugsMany of the estrogen-stopping drugs found in aromatase-inhibitors made by the pharmaceutical companies can wreck havoc on a woman’s body. They are often used to treat breast cancer, but with prolonged use they cause liver inflammation and even cancer. Chrysin, a naturally occurring flavanoid in passion flower, has shown to effectively reduce inflammation which leads to this type of cancer through the Cox 2 pathway. 3. Stop Giving Your Baby BPA-Filled Teething Rings and use Baltic Amber InsteadWhile many baby teething rings are filled with BPA (biosphenal A), an industrial chemical which can adversely affect your baby’s brain and development, Baltic amber teething necklaces and rings made with real amber and not counterfeit are full of succinic acid. Baltic amber specifically has an 8% concentration of this beneficial natural compound. Amber found in the Baltic region has been used throughout Europe for centuries as a natural antibiotic and cure for numerous ailments. 4. Natural Remedies for Menstrual Cramps Instead of Medications that Harm the Endocrine SystemThere are two types of menstrual cramps: primary and secondary dysmenorrheal. They are both equally debilitating for millions of women. Instead of popping Midol like candy, try increasing your omega 3 fatty acids, eat more magnesium and try acupressure. These will all save endocrine system from producing more stress hormones, which can happen due to the high levels of caffeine in products like Midol. Overuse of Ibuprofin or aspirin can also adversely affect your gastrointestinal system. Check out our home remedies for menstrual cramps page for more natural alternatives. 5. Breathe, Meditate or Do Yoga Instead of Taking Anti-DepressantsA study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association said that many medications like Paxil and Prozac were no more effective than a placebo pill, but they have a whole lot of unsavory side effects. If you are feeling blue, try taking a deep diaphragmatic breath, as suggested by a recent NPR program, meditate (it has been proven to be more effective at reducing pain than morphine) or do some yoga, which naturally relieves deep emotional and psychological tensions from the body. |

![]() Chocolate Reduces Cardiovascular Disease Risk by 39%, Stroke by 29%by Contributor July 1st, 2013 https://naturalsociety.com/chocolate-lovers-less-likely-suffer-heart-attack/ Recent research findings released by the scientific community will gladden the hearts of chocolate lovers the world over. Instead of being regarded as a sinfully decadent food that people should avoid, growing evidence indicates that it may be beneficial in preventing several medical conditions. Recent investigations published in the British Medical Journal show that eating chocolate is linked to a 39% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 29% reduced risk of stroke. Boosting the Heart with ChocolateDuring the past 10 years, cardiologists have responded with healthy skepticism to research suggesting chocolate’s possible cardiovascular effects. Since it does not fit into the profile of unappealing and difficult lifestyle measures aimed at improving health, doctors were reluctant to embrace the concept that a food so enjoyable could actually be beneficial. Now, however, an expanding number of cardiologists are considering the potential cardiovascular advantages of chocolate as being valid. |

![]() 6 Foods for Naturally Managing Cholesterolby Elizabeth Renter 06July2014 https://naturalsociety.com/natural-solutions-managing-cholesterol/ 1. OatsOatmeal is often marketed as a solution for those struggling to reduce their cholesterol levels. Oats are a good source of soluble fiber, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream, according to the Mayo Clinic. One study found adding oatmeal to your morning meal could aid in reducing cholesterol by as much as 7 percent. 2. FishFish rich in omega-3 fatty acids can both reduce blood pressure and reduce your risk of developing blood clots. In people who have already suffered a heart attack, omega 3 fats can reduce the risk of sudden death. Fish high in omega-3s include: salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel, and halibut. 3. Olive OilFor many, the idea of adding fat to reduce cholesterol seems counterintuitive, but the antioxidants in olive oil can help lower LDL cholesterol while leaving HDL (good) cholesterol alone. 4. NutsRich in plant sterols and ‘good’ fats, nuts can prevent the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. They are high in calories, however, so for those who are simultaneously watching their weight, a serving size of about two ounces a day is plenty. 5. TomatoesSlice tomatoes on a sandwich, on your salad, or eat them whole, straight out of the garden. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which helps reduce LDL levels. 6. Green TeaRich in catechins, green tea differs from black and other forms of tea because of how it is prepared, dried prior to the fermentation process. These antioxidant compounds are loaded with many benefits, among them: cholesterol control. |

![]() What’s in Your Milk? 20+ Painkillers, Antibiotics, and Moreby Lisa Garber December 28th, 2012 https://naturalsociety.com/the-cocktail-of-up-to-20-chemicals-in-a-glass-of-milk/ With the aid of innovative and highly sensitive testing, Spanish-Moroccan scientists determined that there could be up to 20 painkillers, antibiotics, and growth hormones in a single glass of milk. The researchers say that the traces are so small that consumers need not worry about adverse effects, so we’ll just have to take their word for it, it seems. The scientists analyzed 20 samples of milk—cow’s, goat’s, and human—bought in Spain and Morocco, and found a chemical cocktail of ingredients added to the animal’s diet prior to milking or contamination through feed or on the farm. Some of the contaminants found in trace amounts include triclosan (an anti-fungal), 17-beta-estradiol (a sex hormone), and florfenicol (an antibiotic). It’s worth noting that the image provided by the University of Jaen lists the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac twice in error. Their findings were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Advances in Food SafetyUniversity of Jaen’s Dr. Evaristo Ballesteros marveled over their technique, which could be used to assess the food safety of other products. “We believe the new methodology will help to provide a more effective way of determining the presence of these kinds of contaminants in milk or other products.” What Milk Should You Buy?If you do drink milk, there is always a better option than traveling to your nearest grocery store. Organic milk is superior to conventional milk, as the cows won’t typically be on an antibiotic, growth hormone, and GMO corn feed diet; they will likely be grass-fed and graze freely. But there is an even better milk than organic. Detoxing Your Body and EnvironmentToxic residue in food is hardly limited to milk. The Daily Mail writes about earlier studies that have found fish with altered brain chemistry and sexuality thanks to caffeine, antibiotics, and hormones from contraceptive pills and HRT that survived treatment from sewage plants. |

![]() Health benefits of spinach to help manage general health
This is a great addition to healthy balanced meals not only for its nutrient content but also because it is low in calories.Different types of spinachSpinach comes in different varieties. One is savoy which has crusty and curly leaves with creases and springs back fast when squeezed or stretched. The smooth-leaf type has smooth and even leaf, not wrinkled, and it has leaves in the shape of a spade. The other type is semi-savoy which has similar characteristics to the first type. However, the semi-savoy variety does not have as much creases. Beneficial content of spinachSpinach is a good source of beta-carotene, an antioxidant which helps in fighting diseases and eye conditions such as cataracts. It also aids in fighting cancer and since it has abundant levels of potassium it also helps reduce the risks of heart conditions. When uncooked, spinach is also a great source of vitamin C. It should never be overcooked; otherwise, it will lose its healthy properties. Since it has a rich green color, spinach contains phytochemicals that help in the prevention of age-related eye conditions. Its lipoic acid content makes regeneration of Vitamin C and Vitamin E possible. The leaves of the spinach are rich in Vitamin K. A hundred-gram serving of this vegetable can provide 402 percent of the daily required amount of Vitamin K. This nutrient has proven its function in lessening any neuronal damage in the brain such as what occurs in a person suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. To sum upTo conclude, Dr. Murray always emphasizes this combination of valuable nutrients makes spinach a highly nutritious vegetable. The unique combination of phytonutrients makes it a very potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory organic product. Studies indicate that drinking a freshly made spinach juice or smoothie is a very healthy means to ingest this nutritious vegetable even when combined with other fruits and vegetables. Apparently, there have been no recorded negative effects in consuming spinach on a daily basis. Actually, making this part of regular meals can be very beneficial to health. Nevertheless, it is also important to eat other healthy foods and other sources of valuable nutrients. |

![]() Simple Steps to Heavy Metal Chelation, Preventing Damage from Heavy MetalsBy Elizabeth Renter Posted On May 6, 2013 https://naturalsociety.com/simple-steps-heavy-metal-chelation-preventing-damage-heavy-metals/ Drink WaterFirstly, stay hydrated. No toxins will be removed if you don’t provide the vehicle for them to exit on. In other words, water is the ultimate purifier and should be your first line against toxins of all kinds. Make sure your water is purified and free of fluoride and chlorine whenever possible. And don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water; drink it when you first wake, with meals, throughout the day, and before bed. Drink water when you exercise and when you relax. Basically, drink it all the time. Include these Specific Foods in Your DietNext, include foods that are naturally good at heavy metal chelation. I profiled six of them here in 6 Foods for Natural Heavy Metal Chelation. Foods like garlic, onion, and cilantro naturally bind with heavy metals to remove them from the body. Amino acids found in eggs and fish are particularly good to balance enzymes in the liver, crucial to detoxification. Charcoal is another good source of chelating benefits. Omit these Specific FoodsChange what you eat. High fructose corn syrup often has high levels of mercury. If you are still eating processed foods that contain HFCS, it’s high time you stopped. Consumer reports also points to fitness protein shakes as a common source of heavy metals. But even things like non-organic produce, wines, and canned foods can be contaminated with heavy metals. |

![]() 7 Methods for Detoxing and Cleansing Your Body of ToxinsBy: Jan Edwards December 26, 2012 https://naturalsociety.com/7-methods-holistic-detox-cleansing-body-toxic-exposure/ With the myriad of toxins we’re exposed to in modern society, we’re faced with an increasing burden of unnatural substances that invade our bodies, from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides to air and water pollution, mercury, arsenic and other heavy metals in our food, and the list goes on. Our current unhealthy living conditions call for a few radical corrective measures, if our goal is to maintain any level of healthy lifestyle. One of those corrective measures is to partake in a holistic detox. The following is a list of various recommendations to effectively lessen your internal toxin levels, which can be done in any combination for increased effectiveness. For optimum results, these should be applied on a regular or seasonal basis, and at minimum once a year. 1. Include Plenty of Deep Colored Vegetables, Herbs and Algae in Your Dietary ArsenalCilantro, parsley, alfalfa, and a blue-green algae, chlorella, are three extremely powerful chemical and heavy metal chelators. Dark green vegetables and herbs alkalize and purify the blood, making it easier for the body to rid itself of wastes with less discomfort or “healing crisis” (when the loosening of toxic debris causes a sick or flu- like reaction). You can juice these, include them in salads, and/or mix powdered forms into water or juice for a quick and effective dose. 2. Try Fasting with Lemon Water, Cayenne Pepper and Maple SyrupThis is a radical, but very effective method of giving your digestive system a much needed break from the constant intake of less than optimal foods and flushing out harmful substances. A period of 3 to 7 days, 3 to 4 times a year is a sufficient and proactive strategy. (Use as much lemon as possible, with just enough maple syrup to make it palatable.) Drink as much as desired throughout the day. 3. Fast with Juice! A Grade-A Health-Boosting Method for HealthDevote 3 to 14 days (or more for the advanced juice faster) to consuming only fresh, organic, unpasteurized vegetable and fruit juices. Kale, celery, cucumber, beet, carrot, lettuce, ginger and lemon are all excellent choices for neutralizing acidity in the body, increasing our nutrient levels, and flushing our systems of unwanted materials. Remember to actually juice real foods, and not buy bottled juices from supermarkets. 4. Apply a Series of Enemas, Professional Colonics, or a Colon CleanseEvery substance that goes into our mouths ends up in our colons, where our bodies absorb nutrients, as well as any pollutants that came along for the ride. Though enemas and colon cleanses may seem uncomfortable or strange, cleaning the colon on a regular basis is considered by many experts to be an essential action to take in maintaining an internally clean, healthy environment. Colonics may not be for everyone, so a high-quality colon cleanser could be the preferred choice. 5. Eat a Diet of Predominantly High Water Content, Ripe Fruits, Green Leafy Vegetables, and Juiced VegetableTry this: Eat only fruit and/or vegetable juice for breakfast, and as much as desired. Again for lunch have as much fruit and juice as desired, followed by a large colorful salad with any dairy free dressing. For dinner, eat more fruit if possible, followed by another large salad consisting of as many vegetables as desired. Top it off with a baked sweet potato, yam, or red/purple potatoes, and add spices (preferably low salt). Heavier foods like meat, dairy, beans, and even most grains will slow down, or even stop the detoxification process, so be conservative with these foods if you really want to experience results. 6. Sweat it Out!Detoxing your body naturally through sweating is very important. Through moderate amounts of cardio exercise, wastes is removed through pores on the skin. Aim to sweat at least fifteen minutes every day. You can even follow up with a detoxifying brushing of our skin from head to toe with a boar bristle brush to remove dead skin cells that clog the pores. 7. Get Plenty of Sleep!Sleeping causes your body to go into a state of cleansing and regeneration. Without proper and sufficient sleep, detoxification organs don’t get the full recharge they need to function at optimal levels. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night, in a dark, noiseless environment for optimal results. |

![]() Cancer Doctor Explains How Cooking with Turmeric Leads to Amazing Health Benefits
The Power of Cooking with TurmericDr. Sukumar is a cancer doctor, but she is also a frequent user of turmeric. She knows first-hand how curcumin (the active component in turmeric) can provide health benefits and how it can easily be incorporated into your daily life. She uses it daily in her kitchen and has built a good portion of her professional reputation on touting the benefits of this powerful root.
She can point to the research that shows how curcumin can not only regulate inflammation which leads to certain types of cancer, but also the other types of cancer where curcumin “actually seeks out malignany cancer cells and alters the regulation of DNA in order to kill them,” as stated by Natural News.
Fortunately, turmeric is versatile. It has a mellow, smoky flavor despite its bright color. It tastes great in sautéed veggies of all kinds and if you are a meat-eater, you can use it in a rub. Dr. Sukumar says she uses as little as one-quarter to one-half teaspoon in her cooking, depending on the dish. But there is nothing wrong with using more in intensely flavored dishes like curry. |

![]() Daily Serving of Soda Increases Aggressive Prostate Cancer Risk by 40%by Mike Barrett April 17, 2013 http://naturalsociety.com/daily-serving-of-soda-increases-aggressive-prostate-cancer-risk-by-40/#ixzz3o3ABhvH1
Also outlining an association between soda and increased cancer risk, another study from University of Minnesota School of Public Health found that 87 percent of over 60,000 test subjects were likely to develop pancreatic cancer, and soda played a role.
Time to Stop Drinking SodaWith soda increasing your risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and even cancer, it’s more important than ever to reduce soda consumption on a national and global level. The average person is consuming 300% more sugar than recommended each day, while kids are taking in 7 trillion calories of sugar from soda each year. By dropping the cola, you can dramatically reduce your risk of countless ailments and improve overall health exponentially. |

![]() Onions: Harnessing Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Propertiesby Elizabeth Renter April 14th, 2013 https://naturalsociety.com/onions-powerful-anti-inflammatory-properties/ In the world of health foods and nutrition, some vegetables are instantly recognized for the wealth of health benefits they offer. If you were asked to name the healthiest foods, you would likely name things like kale, spinach, garlic, ginger, and the like. Another healthful food, onions have been pegged as flavorful and a staple in many dishes, but despite their overwhelming popularity, few know about their many health benefits. One such health benefit of onions revolves around their anti-inflammatory properties. Anti-Inflammatory Powers of OnionsWhat really produces the anti-inflammatory properties in onions are antioxidant phytonutrients. Compounds like quercetin and anthocyanin work to prevent the oxidation of fatty acids. They also act to reduce inflammation throughout the body. Quercetin, according to Arthritis Today, has been shown to inhibit or stop leukotrines, histamines, and prostaglandins (inflammation causers) in both rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis. Additionally, quercetin has been recognized for inhibiting the inflammatory enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, which helps prevent inflammation. Another Argentinian study on rats showed that both garlic and onions have the ability to reduce inflammation in animals that had developed insulin resistance after a steady diet of fructose. According to those researchers:
So, how can you reap these anti-inflammatory benefits? Reaping Onion’s Anti-Inflammatory BenefitsFirst, seek out pungent red or yellow onions. The onions that have the strongest smells are those with the greatest benefits. Red onions contain more antioxidants and total flavonoids than white and yellow onions. Next, don’t be so quick to discard so many outer layers of the onion. Once you get the paper-thin skin off, keep the others. The outer layers contain the highest concentrations of antioxidants. By over-peeling the onion, you could shed off about 20% of the vegetable’s quercetin and 75% of its anthocyanins. Also, be careful in your food preparation. When you use onion in a soup, for instance, the quercetin doesn’t disappear. It does, however, leave the onion and is transferred to the broth. So, keep the broth and drink it up! Although there are supplements that claim to offer similar benefits of quercetin, the quality derived directly from the onion is far superior. So, save your money and buy a bag of onions rather than a bottle of pills. Try having a serving of onions each day. |

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two HPV vaccines: Merck’s Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKline’s Cervarix. The two vaccines raked in over $2 billion in profits just last year.
Dr. Harper later said she did it so she could “sleep at night“.
See how that worked?
Add that fact to a recent Global Burden and Disease study which found that, out of 187 countries assessed, Japanese people had the longest life expectancy rates in the world. Even though the U.S. spends $2.7 trillion on healthcare annually, our life expectancy rates were a dismal 29th for males and 33rd for females. Kinda answers that lingering question about why the Japanese government would make common sense decisions based on evidence and stop allowing the administration of an obviously dangerous vaccine without warning, while stateside our FDA is still dutifully telling Americans not to worry, go ahead and take the shot — it is “safe and effective”.

Oral Polio Vaccine to Be Given In Southern IsraelFirst Publish: 6/30/2013, 3:56 PM http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/169460#.UdZDZ6zhdbc
The Health Minister has decided to administer an advanced form of the oral polio vaccine to 150,000 children in southern Israel following a 3-day visit from World Health Organization officials. The vaccine is administered in oral drops, not an injection form. They and an official from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control were in Israel to see what the Jewish State is doing to prevent the possible spread of poliomyelitis – a disease once considered “dead.” The decision to spend “several million shekels” for nearly one million doses of the “live attenuated” vaccine came after the live virus had been detected in February in routine samples of sewage extracted from the Negev Bedouin city of Rahat. Health Minister Yael German and other officials stressed there was “no reason to panic” as there has not been even one case of the clinical form of poliomyelitis – the type that causes paralysis. But the decision to administer oral polio vaccine (OPV) was made after consulting with the foreign experts. No Israeli children under age eight have received a Sabine OPV, due to a decision to discontinue the vaccine when the disease was considered eradicated. But babies and young children do receive several doses of IPV – the Salk vaccine – in well baby clinics around the country. Israel is one of only five countries in the world that routinely tests stool samples via 16 sewage treatment plants around the country. WHO figures indicated there were an estimated 350,000 actual cases of polio in 125 endemic countries in 1988; but in the countries which routinely test for the disease, last year the number had dropped to only 223 reported cases. |

![]() Over 650,000 Meals in Hospitals Will Now Be Served Without Antibiotic-Infested Meat Due to Super-Bugsby Christina Sarich June 8th, 2013 https://naturalsociety.com/650000-meals-hospitals-served-without-antibiotic-infested-meat/
Livestock are often fed everything from penicillin to macrolide to ensure their health, but often to the detriment of the people who consume their meat. Ranchers and farmers discovered several decades ago that feeding their livestock just small doses of these antibiotics could fatten them up for market, and bring in larger profits. This practice isn’t often publicized, so many people are unaware of the practice. A doctor who has studied this subject Stuart B. Levy, M.D., estimates that there are 15-17 million pounds of antibiotics used sub-therapeutically in the United States each year.
It is no surprise that hospitals are interested in changing their meat procurement practices, since the primary means of treating an ill person in the hospital is either through surgery or pharmaceutical drugs, but what does this issue of Super Bugs have in common with Super Weeds? It seems quite obvious that messing with Mother Nature results in some pretty fantastic tragedy for the human race. |

![]() Don’t want additives and chemicals in your snacks? Avoid these 11 BANNED ingredients in foods that Americans are STILL eating06August2020 / By Divina Ramirez https://frankenfood.news/2020-08-06-11-banned-ingredients-foods-americans-are-still-eating.html Banned ingredients are still in use across the U.S.It’s not uncommon for foods in the U.S. to contain additives, hormones and other substances that pose serious risks and consequences for human health. Robbins attributes this disturbing convention to relaxed regulations on food manufacturing, cosmetics and other industries. For instance, food companies are not required to seek approval from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) before marketing chemicals or adding more additives to their foods. Furthermore, a lot of the chemicals and substances banned in other countries are those that the FDA deems “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). As such, these ingredients are exempt from other tests that the FDA might require. Robbins also questions the expertise of the authorities marking chemicals and substances as GRAS, citing that members of the panels tasked to evaluate ingredients have financial ties to all manners of industries. Most of the chemicals on the GRAS list have also not had long-term testing on humans, Robbins adds. Therefore, these cannot be guaranteed 100 percent safe for consumption. On that note, here are some of the most infamous food ingredients banned in other countries but not in the U.S. Dough conditioners Chemicals like potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide are often used to improve the texture of bread dough, hence their name. Scientists find that dough conditioners are potential carcinogens or cancer-causing substances. Studies also found that dough conditioners can cause breathing difficulties. Brominated vegetable oil Brominated vegetable oil or BVO is, first and foremost, a flame retardant. But this chemical can be found across various processed drinks including sodas and sports drinks. Research finds that BVO accumulates in human tissue, causing major organ damage and birth defects. Propylparaben In the U.S., this substance is used as a preservative to keep pre-made tortillas, muffins, pies and other baked goods from spoiling. But ongoing animal research suggests that propylparaben can affect sex hormones and sperm count in male rats. Scientists also found that propylparaben exposure is linked to breast cancer. BHA and BHT Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are synthetic antioxidants used as preservatives in cosmetic products, but they are also used in foods. Both BHA and BHT are possible carcinogens and hormone-disrupting substances. Synthetic food dyes Synthetic dyes are used to enhance the color of foods and make them more appealing to consumers. But recent studies found that these colorings are linked to a heightened risk of developmental problems in children. Genetically modified organisms Crops like soy, corn, cotton and alfalfa are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and a number of European have long since banned them due to public health safety concerns. GMOs are made through genetic manipulation to make them develop certain characteristics, such as being resistant to herbicides or being seedless. One of the most common herbicides used to condition crops to become resistant is glyphosate, and studies have found that glyphosate consumption is linked to cancer. Roxarsone Roxarsone is an arsenic-based drug added to chicken feed to increase chickens’ muscle mass but reduce their feed consumption. Arsenic is toxic in its inorganic form, such as those used in bronzing or making special glass. Studies reveal that chronic exposure to arsenic can lead to chronic diarrhea, heart disease, numbness and even cancer. Ractopamine Ractopamine is another drug used to increase the muscle mass of pigs, cattle and turkeys. This substance can end up inside humans through the consumption of contaminated animals. Countries like Russia, China and most European countries have banned these substances because it has been found to pose serious consequences on human reproductive and cardiovascular health. Herbicides, insecticides and fungicides These products are still commonly used on crops across the U.S. Herbicides, insecticides and fungicides have been extensively studied in the past for serious risks and dangers they pose on human health, including cancer and birth defects. (Related: Glyphosate herbicide disrupts the development of the uterus, affects female fertility.) Olestra Olestra is a fat substitute used to keep the cholesterol content of potato chips and french fries at a minimum. But an emerging body of evidence suggests that olestra can cause gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea and leaky gut syndrome. Synthetic hormones Recombinant bovine growth hormones (rBGH) and recombinant bovine somatotropins (rBST) are synthetic hormones fed to cows to fatten them up and increase their milk production. In humans, these synthetic hormones can heighten the risk of cancer. Minimizing the risk of exposure to harmful ingredientsIt’s near impossible to control the ingredients and chemicals that manufacturers put into their products. Nonetheless, there are doable steps one can take to minimize his or her exposure to these ingredients. Here are some of them:
Most processed foods contain harmful ingredients that pose certain health risks to consumers. Make it a habit to inspect food labels, or practice cutting back on processed foods. If sustained, these little changes can lead to safer food choices and healthier eating habits in the long run. |

![]() More toxic to humans than high fructose corn syrup, this dirty little secret ingredient is COMMON in U.S. foods (and beverages)Saturday, September 15, 2018 by: S.D. Wells https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-09-15-more-toxic-to-humans-than-high-fructose-corn-syrup-this-dirty-little-secret-is-common-in-u-s-food.html Sodium benzoate was banned from the rubber making industry because many workers exposed to it developed leukemia and diedSodium benzoate is made by mixing sodium hydroxide with benzoic acid, which gives it highly destructive, solvent qualities. In Europe, the media is screaming to ban this toxic “preservative” as it may be interfering with normal development of children. The U.S. mass media, of course, won’t utter a word about it. Scientists fear conducting research on sodium benzoate, as they might get “suicided” by Big Food and Big Pharma, as so many cancer researchers, holistic doctors, and vaccine researchers have encountered. Sodium benzoate extends the shelf life of foods and beverages, while shortening the life of humans that consume it regularlyCheck your salad dressings, jams, soy sauce, vinegar, fruit juices, salsa, dips, shredded cheeses, sodas, mouthwash, toothpaste, cough syrups, and hundreds of cosmetic products for the known toxic agent and carcinogen sodium benzoate. It’s the cheapest mold inhibitor on the market, but it robs the human body of essential nutrients, thus aiding and abetting chronic neuro-degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. |

![]() Anti-mosquito diets: 3 Foods to eat to keep mosquitoes at bay17April2020 by: Arsenio Toledo https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-04-17-anti-mosquito-diets-3-foods-to-eat.html GarlicSeveral studies have found that garlic is a very powerful repellent against mosquitoes and several other insects. The studies believe that this is due to the presence of allicin, one of garlic’s active components. However, because allicin is a highly unstable compound, it disappears quickly during the processing of garlic. So, to fully benefit from garlic’s anti-mosquito properties, you need to eat garlic as close to raw as possible. Onions, leeks, chives and shallots also contain high amounts of insect-repelling allicin. LemongrassLemongrass is a grass superfood that can has a variety of culinary and medicinal uses. It is one of the natural world’s greatest food sources of the compound citronella, which is a known mosquito repellent agent. Scientific research has also shown that lemongrass has many other bug-repelling properties. If you’re not keen on consuming lemongrass, you can use lemongrass essential oil or any citronella-rich essential oil to use in aromatherapy. Its strong fragrance can keep mosquitoes and other nasty bugs at bay. (Related: Mosquito begone: 5 Natural ingredients that work as a mosquito repellent.) GrapefruitGrapefruit contains a compound known as nootkatone, which can also be found in other citrus fruits. Nootkatone is a natural chemical that can effectively repel not just mosquitoes, but ticks as well. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) even believes that nootkatone can be useful in keeping bed bugs, lice and many other insects at bay. If you want to truly partake in grapefruit’s anti-mosquito benefits, rub its peels onto your skin after eating. Grapefruit peel is rich in essential oils. |
