Scientists Officially Link Processed Foods To Autoimmune Disease The modern diet of processed foods, takeaways and microwave meals could be to blame for a sharp increase in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, including alopecia, asthma and eczema. A team of scientists from Yale University in the U.S and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, in Germany, say junk food diets could be partly to blame. 'This study is the first to indicate that excess refined and processed salt may be one of the environmental factors driving the increased incidence of autoimmune diseases,' they said. Junk foods at fast food restaurants as well as processed foods at grocery retailers represent the largest sources of sodium intake from refined salts. The Canadian Medical Association Journal sent out an international team of researchers to compare the salt content of 2,124 items from fast food establishments such as Burger King, Domino's Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Subway. How Refined Salt Causes Autoimmune Disease Stick to Good Salts

Mouth-Watering Crispy Brussels Sprouts (plus 7 ways to flavour them!) Four words you don’t often see together: mouth-watering Brussels sprouts. I can see it now, you’re raising an eyebrow and giving me the stink eye because your “b.s.” detector is going off. In fact, you probably didn’t even click on this post!? *sings* I’m all by myself. Or, maybe you share my excitement for this misunderstood vegetable. There are many of you out there! I loathed these green, leafy orbs most of my life until that one glorious day when I roasted the heck out of them with some good oil and sea salt. I also converted Eric into a Brussels sprouts fanatic with this method, and I’m sort of regretting it. “I never thought I’d see the day when I’d eat an entire pan of Brussels sprouts.” (That is a direct quote from Eric recently. In this post I’ll divulge my go-to method for roasting these misunderstood sprouts, and I’ll share my favourite ways to flavour them. The elephant in the room: Brussels sprouts are a bit of a pain to prep (ok, I won’t sugar coat it, they are my nemesis!)
Organic Holidays, Eco friendly Accommodation, B and B, Bed Breakfast, Farm Stays, Restaurants, Food, UK Reading Food Labels Can Be Confusing We’re officially declaring 2013 The Year of the Label. While most eyes will be on states that have taken up the fight to label genetically modified ingredients after the defeat of California’s closely watched Prop 37 in November, we think now’s the perfect time to take a closer look at labels that already exist in the marketplace. Grocery shelves are filled with noise, and knowing which label you can trust, and which one is actually deceptive can be tricky. That’s why we went to labeling expert, Dr. “ ‘Natural’ is probably the most egregious term on the market,” Rangan tells us. And when it comes to meat, Andrew Gunther, Animal Welfare Approved program director, says eggs and poultry meat are frequently the most misleading. “For the consumer, it’s a difficult time,” he tells us. Rangan says bad labels are usually not a mistake. We took a closer look at some frequently seen label to help decipher which have meaning, and which ones are, in fact, meaningless.
Not Your Average Potato Soup For some reason, I’ve been craving potato soup ALL winter long. And the strange thing is, I don’t think I’ve ever had potato soup before. Is it normal to crave things you’ve never tried? Well, it happens to me quite often. Case in point: vegan sushi. While the thought of a basic potato soup seemed satisfying enough, I couldn’t resist putting my own twist on things. I like a nice texture in my soup, so I only pureed about 3 cups in a blender and left the rest intact. Not Your Average Potato Soup Email, text, or print this recipe Yield: 3 servings Ingredients: 1. 2. 3. For nutritional info, see here.

14-year-old teen GMO activist schools ignorant TV host on human rights, food labeling (NaturalNews) Her name is Rachel Parent, and she's suddenly an internet sensation for her cool-headed debate about GMOs on a popular Canadian TV show. (She's also the founder of the Kids Right to Know GMO Walk.) As you'll see in the video below, Rachel calmly argues for the basic human right to know what's in our food, even as the condescending bully of a host named Kevin O'Leary verbally assaults the girl and practically accuses her of murdering children. During the debate, Kevin O'Leary, co-host of the The Lang And O'Leary Exchange show, viciously attacked Rachel, first accusing her of being a "lobbyist" against GMOs (an absurd accusation that O'Leary knows is false, as there is no corporate interest in honest food labeling), and then equating her position of questioning GMOs with somehow supporting a holocaust of widespread death of children. See Rachel Parent's Facebook page at: Here it is on YouTube: Risk #1) Human health side effects.
RAINBOW VEGGIE BOWLS with a peanut sauce — Anett Velsberg I love throwing together bowls full of colourful delicious vegetables and calling it 'dinner'. This time around we couldn't decide on a starch - it turns out that the beau does not like brown rice. At all. I, on the other hand, could eat it three times a day. So we agreed to disagree and I made two bowls, one with soba noodles and one with brown rice. Both equally as good and so so so delicious with the peanut sauce. For the vegetables we used basically everything that we had in the fridge. Ingredients 300g soba noodles, boiled for 4 minutes or 1 cup brown rice, cooked1 large sweet potato, cut into chunks1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets4-5 Portobellini mushrooms, cut into quarters1-2 tbsp. cooking oil (canola or sunflower), for baking1 candy beetroot, thinly sliced40g of red cabbage, thinly sliced1 ripe mango cheek, thinly slicedHandful of rocketHandful of corianderDrizzle of SrirachaBlack sesame seeds, for garnishSalt, to tastePepper, to taste Method Preheat oven to 190C.
