Diet

I recently read an article in the New York Times about an organic baby formula Similac puts out. It basically says that while this formula is organic (and thus supposedly better for you), it uses cane sugar instead of other sugars.

The things that one puts into one’s body is, in my opinion, a matter that is taken all too lightly by many, many people. Even those who are conscious of the importance of knowing what they eat are often not aware of the ingredients that compose their food when they eat at restaurants, or when they purchase packaged food at a grocery store.

The argument over eating meat and using animal byproducts thrives in sociopolitical discussion in the United States. Interest groups, news media outlets, advocacy organizations and scores of medical researchers continue to barrage us with a torrent of conflicting information pertaining to the consumption or other use of animal byproducts and their alternatives.

"If I was thin, I'd be happy. If I could just lose 10 pounds" I've found diaries of mine from when I was 11 years old, telling myself not to eat dinner. Journals filled with lists ot how many 'bad' things I ate. How many crunches I should be doing. And looking back, it breaks my heart.

We all know, or should know, the horrors revolving around the current food industry. With documentaries like "Fast Food Nation" and "Supersize Me," we are introduced to the horrors of the junk of fast food restaurants.

At first I thought this was all in the mind of the people telling me about it. However, it seems to be true.

For those unfamiliar eating right for your blood type is an eating plan where you choose foods based on your blood type. For example I am a B and according to this program chicken has a very negative effect on B types, thus we should not eat it.

So, I've been watching Discovery Health tonight, in lieu of doing my microbiology and ASL homework. One of the typical programs on, about real life stories in the ER, had a rather interesting story on tonight. Basically, a little boy came in with extreme pain when he tried to walk.

Recently, I heard about a natural product that helped my great grandmother reduce her dependence on 21 medications per day, down to 1 pill per day within six months. Then, my mother revealed that an old friend of the family had cervical cancer and took the same product. Apparently, before she even finished the bottle, she returned to her doctor and he said it was somehow gone.
