Fortunately, I never got in the habit of drinking sodas, but when I would occasionally drink one, I always drank a diet soda, thinking it was better for me. However, studies now show that diet sodas may in fact be worse for you than full sugar sodas. Drinking diet soda increases your risk of metabolic …

Figs – One of the Worlds Healthiest Foods
If you are like me, you probably don’t eat figs very often. They are just not one of those items that are readily available or talked about very much. I like dried figs okay, but when I do eat them, I try to buy organic figs because commercially grown figs are usually treated with sulfur …

Saw Dust in Shredded Cheese?
I was listening to the radio the other day and they were talking about the different fillers and liquids added to foods that we don’t know about. One of the things one caller said was that some shredded cheese has saw dust in it. I ran to the refrigerator to check and I didn’t see …
Avoid Blue Dye 1
The ingredient in foods and personal hygiene products that I dislike the most is artificial dyes and colorings. When you read the ingredient labels for foods and other products, you will generally find them at the end listed as FD&C Blue 1 (or whatever color it is). Most of these colors are made from petroleum …
Why You Should Eat More Garlic
It’s cold and flu season and when my husband started feeling a little under the weather garlic came to my mind. One of my favorite authors is the late Leo Buscaglia who writes a lot about love. I remember him telling the story about when he was growing up and his mother would hang garlic …
The Dangers of Food Dyes
There has been a lot of talk about artificial food dyes, but unfortunately, not enough. We can’t seem to make any headway in the USA on banning any of them. While most European countries have banned them or they have to put a warning label on products that contain them, we in America just go …

I have never really eaten much honey. Maybe because growing up it was not something we usually had around the house. As I have gotten more concerned about what I put into my body, I have found many benefits of honey, not all of them just to eat. Since honey is loaded with the B …
Eliminate GMOs and Eliminate Diseases?
I previously posted an article on GMOs, but after reading the attached article, I thought it may be worth another post. Apparently, doctors are finding that when they take their patients off of GMO foods, it eliminates many of the diseases they were suffering from such as arthritis, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, and many …
Do You Know What’s In Your Bread?
Have you ever wondered what all the ingredients are that are listed on the label for a loaf of bread? I rarely, if ever, purchase bread. I choose to make my own in a bread machine because then I know exactly what is going into the bread. The hardest part about making the bread is …
Microwave Popcorn and Alzheimer, Lung Disease and Asthma?
My family loves popcorn and we eat a lot of it. However, we gave up microwave popcorn over a year ago because of all the artificial additives and flavors. Not to long ago, I came across an article about the lung damage that the workers were experiencing in factories that make microwave popcorn. Diacetyl (DA) …
