POPSSome of our foods are poisons!
This subject will always be actual. It's our life, after all. Modifying old sentence, we are eating to live, not to suffer from what we eat. And drink. So, better check what you eat and especially how you feed your kids; not force them to pay for our mistakes and our inaction toward crooks, making living on our health. There are many bizarre theories in food and medical science to be revised and as soon as we start to do that as better. How many troubles can be prevented! First of all it is the notion that we can safely eat artificial food, practically plastic. We are not! We cannot be healthier neither with synthetic food, nor with chemical medicines. Even naturally occurred remedies have to be applied carefully. Chemical "revolution" of past century in relation to our life and health is over. One more remark. Please note, that not all toxins are poisons and most dangerous stuff in our food not toxins, which are produced by some microbes, but man made poisons, added there by stu

POPSAlternate Sweeteners Lexica bought to our attention the problems associated with the improperly tested Aspartame (they tested it for tooth decay and pronounced it safe.) Some alternatives- If unsure, visit the source or google Aspartame. If you want to have some fun, walk into a chemist and ask about it. I did and got deathly silence and staff that were all suddenly busy. :lol:

POPSWhat's really in foods labeled "healthy"? Rule of thumb: if it has an advertising campaign, be intelligently skeptical about it. For example, plain old yogurt is good for you. Sweetened, thickened, colored, flavored "Go-gurt" in a tube... not so much.

POPSSplenda causes weight gain, impairs digestion, and affects chemotherapy & other drugs More: As of 2006, only six human trials have been published on Splenda. Of these six trials, only two of the trials were completed and published before the FDA approved sucralose for human consumption, and the two published trials had a grand total of 36 total human subjects. 36 people sure doesn’t sound like many, but wait, it gets worse: only 23 total were actually given sucralose for testing, and here is the real kicker — The longest trial at this time had lasted only four days, and looked at sucralose in relation to tooth decay, not human tolerance. Even more shocking, the absorption of Splenda into the human body was studied on a grand total of six men! Based on that one human study, the FDA allowed the findings to be generalized as being representative of the entire human population. Including women, children, the elderly, and those with any chronic illness — none of whom were ever examined.

POPSIs High-Fructose Corn Syrup Really Good for You? This article talks about those ads by the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) that are trying to convince us that high-fructose corn syrup is really good for you. Maybe it isn't the new trans-fat, but as this scientist says, "High-fructose corn syrup just doesn't exist in nature." I have recently heard that scientists have begun to think that all artificial sweeteners cause an unnatural craving for more sweets. I don't care what they say - if it doesn't occur in nature, I don't think you should eat it.

POPSSugar News "In a separate study, the researchers tested blood triglyceride levels after people consumed a meal with 25% of the calories from HFCS, sucrose, fructose or glucose. All sugars except for glucose caused elevated levels 24 hours after the meal." from ScienceBlogs 6/11: Artificial Sweeteners Sodas sweetened with artificial sweeteners have long been the go-to drink for dieters looking to cut back on calories, but a new study from Purdue psychologists suggests that high consumption of such beverages is linked to obesity. Rats fed a sugar substitute gained significantly more weight during the course of the study than those fed regular glucose.
