POPSPotential Neuropoison Could Be in Our Food with the highest exposures measured in the United States. Researchers became nervous: Low doses caused neurological damage in laboratory animals, and the highest human PBDE levels were found in breast milk.

POPSSugary Soda Tax Ehh, not sure what to think about this. On one hand it certainly did well for me to drastically reduce my soda intake a few years ago (lost 10 lbs in 2 months by just cutting out sugary drinks) but on the other hand it is up to individuals to control themselves not the government. But, Americans are increasingly stupid about their dietary choices. Check out the rest of the clip at the link.

POPSWhat happens when you cry? " one study collected both reflex tears and emotional tears (after peeling an onion and watching a sad movie, respectively). When scientists analyzed the content of the tears, they found each type was very different. Reflex tears are generally found to be about 98 percent water, whereas several chemicals are commonly present in emotional tears First is a protein called prolactin, which is also known to control breast milk production. Adrenocorticotropic hormones are also common and indicate high stress levels. The other chemical found in emotional tears is leucine-enkephalin, an endorphin that reduces pain and works to improve mood. Of course".

POPSBREAST is BEST... for health Fairly recent article! The words Glycoslation... Oligosaccharides! Glycans... Cell Communication. Oh they just stir a wonderment in my soul. What a profoundly important article for all human beings. Not only in the role of saccharides as pertains to newborns, but all human beings. I guess those crazy people at Mannatech have been right all these years? Maybe I should go out and buy some Ambrotose since they have the patent on the combination of all 8 necessary saccharides. I feel better already just knowing this.

POPSA BREAST of Fresh Air Seeing this article reminded me that profession often dictates perspective i.e - a surgeon will want to operate, a baker will want to bake... and in this case a doctor specializing in asthma... will look for a way to suggest suckling milk increases lung efficiency? While this is a good news article - I think too often the truth is slighted and spun in favor of one's own professional bias. But alas, we live in a world of bias. PS - who is paying for all these studies to tell us breast milk is good for babies... isn't that fact just as old as human beings? Search google for "oligosaccharides in breast milk" if you want the bigger scoop. To sum it up breastmilk is the only natural source of all necessary glyconutrients which are derived from oligosaccharides contained in breaskmilk. These are responsible for cellular communication, bacterial intestinal health, brain development, lung health, allergy health, immune system. More to come... I am on a BREAST QUEST!
