<br />

What's sad is when a food additive is scientifically determined to be dangerous to ingest and yet its still allowed anyhow.<br />

Foxnews didn't cover much about long-term health effect risks of this surgery, which is really a shame.

The ingredient list is a lot better than some of the other shelf dressings - from the site, they are: <br />
<br />
<strong>Ingredients:</strong> WATER, VINEGAR, EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, SUGAR, CANOLA OIL, SALT, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF GARLIC*, RED BELL PEPPERS*, CARROTS*, SPICE, XANTHAN GUM, ONIONS*, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE GREEN ONIONS*, POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA PRESERVATIVES. *DRIED.<br />
<br />
I could do without the preservatives, but all the same, this is better than some of the other MSG-rich dressings out there. <br />
<br />

The cost is a little steep, but I think it's worth it for the nutritional benefit of these eggs. The hens are cage free, they get sun, they are fed certified organic, and the eggs as a result are high in omega-3s. After watching the horrific <a href="http://nutritionalmusing.blogspot.com/2011/01/food-inc.html">Food, Inc</a>, I'm always glad to find healthier chickens that aren't brutally clustered in windowless coops.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13068196575763786944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461991151450445927.post-31719658087855294352011-01-08T15:18:00.000-06:002011-01-08T15:18:34.341-06:00CDC adjusts fluoride poisoning of America's water supply to a lower level<div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/030952_CDC_fluoride.html#ixzz1ATsLdht5">CDC adjusts fluoride poisoning of America's water supply to a lower level</a><span><br />

Good to hear - I wonder what this will mean for the sale of fluoridated water?<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/030952_CDC_fluoride.html#ixzz1ATsLdht5" style="color: #003399;"></a></span></div></div>Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13068196575763786944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461991151450445927.post-84993198864751845682010-12-20T09:48:00.002-06:002010-12-20T09:53:19.534-06:00Second Thoughts about VasectomyInteresting article at <a href="http://www.catholic.org/prwire/headline.php?ID=9541">Catholic.org</a> about the real facts about vasectomies -- facts not always shared in the mainstream press when I research this topic. In describing some of the side-effects of this "simple, outpatient procedure":<br />
<br />
"Pain, bruising, and swelling for up to two weeks are common post-surgery occurrences. Although less likely, bleeding and infection can occur. Patients can develop sperm granuloma – lumps caused by an immune response to leaking sperm – or chronic pain in and around the testes, a side effect called Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. Some research has even linked vasectomies with an elevated risk for prostate and testicular cancer. With these side effects on the table, a vasectomy does not appear to be the easy fix so many men desire"<br />
<br />
While theologically I'm a reformed five-sola type, I do respect the Catholic perspective when it comes to getting the word out about the health risks of sterilization surgeries and the abortifacent effects of birth control pharma. Its just unfortunate that the Catholic argument against these things seems based not as much on the Biblical blessing of large families as it is based on obedience to Papal writ.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13068196575763786944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461991151450445927.post-58606306622857032382010-12-17T12:05:00.001-06:002010-12-17T12:06:48.469-06:00Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions<i></i><br />

I've tried to avoid red 40 and others for a long time, but this can be one of the more tricky ones, as its in so much stuff (even in unexpected products.) Oddly, I don't have a label for "red 40" or "food coloring", so this will be the first one. Probably not the last.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13068196575763786944noreply@blogger.com0
