Note: You might see multiple bubbles for certain supplements. These is because some supps affect a range of conditions, but the evidence quality varies from condition to condition. For example, there’s strong evidence that garlic can lower blood pressure. But studies on whether it can prevent colds have produced inconclusive results. In these cases, we give a supp another bubble. This visualisation generates itself from this Google Doc.

Salt: Essential to Life - But What About High Blood Pressure? All living creatures must have salt to survive. Mother Nature dictates, however, that balance is essential in all living things. As is often the case in our modern world, violating this natural principle by getting too much of a good thing is costing us our lives! “There must be something sacred in salt: It is in our tears, and in the ocean.” Kahlil Gibran Sacred? Yes. We cannot live without salt...indeed, it is in our tears, our blood, and our sweat, and it is abundant in nature.
The 5th century Greek healer Hippocrates made frequent use of salt for the treatment of infections, skin lesions, stomach upsets, and respiratory problems. In the 16th century, Renaissance doctor Paracelsus said, “The human being must have salt, he cannot be without salt. Salt is our friend. Here are some statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)1: How Your Body Uses Salt The two major components of salt are sodium and chloride, and both are necessary for all known living creatures. Sources: 1. Natural Whole Salt vs. Refined Chemical Salts. We’ve finally concluded that white flour and refined sugar are stripped-down unhealthy composites of nutritious whole foods.
Now its time we consider table salt with the same perspective. Refined table salts start innocently enough: they are collected from sea water (often from not-so-pristine locales such as the South San Francisco Bay) or harvested from underground salt mines. After water-flushing, table salt manufacturers will typically treat and precipitate out unwanted elements using chemical agents such as barium, sulfuric acid and chlorine. The resulting brine is vacuum-evaporated, and anti-caking chemicals such as tricalcium phosphate, silica dioxide, sodium ferrocyanide, ferric ammonium citrate and/or sodium silico-aluminate may be added, depending upon the manufacturer.
Many manufacturers also add iodine and dextrose; and many foreign manufacturers add fluoride. The result is ‘purified’ salt—around 99% sodium chloride: A miracle of industrial modification.(1,2) 1 peeled lemon. Farmer in Chief. By Michael PollanThe New York Times Magazine, October 12, 2008 Dear Mr. President-Elect, It may surprise you to learn that among the issues that will occupy much of your time in the coming years is one you barely mentioned during the campaign: food.
Food policy is not something American presidents have had to give much thought to, at least since the Nixon administration–the last time high food prices presented a serious political peril. Since then, federal policies to promote maximum production of the commodity crops (corn, soybeans, wheat and rice) from which most of our supermarket foods are derived have succeeded impressively in keeping prices low and food more or less off the national political agenda.
But with a suddenness that has taken us all by surprise, the era of cheap and abundant food appears to be drawing to a close. After cars, the food system uses more fossil fuel than any other sector of the economy — 19 percent. How We Got Here This did not occur by happenstance. I. Pepperoni Pizza Puffs. If I ask my kids what they want for dinner, there's a ninety percent chance they will say pizza. They love it, as most kids do. I guess I have an affection for it too, but we don't indulge too often. If I had to choose a favorite pizza, it would be the Hawaiian, but no one else in my household appreciates its flavors like I do, too bad for them. So when my kids came home from school and I had this afternoon snack waiting for them, they were pretty excited to be having pizza at 3 PM.
Okay, so was I, can you blame me? These are the simplest, yummiest little bites. If you have a mini muffin pan you are good to go. Preheat oven to 375o. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through, then stir in 1 Tablespoon basil. Sprinkle the puffs with the remaining 1 Tablespoon basil.

June 28, 2010 -- Giving animals antibiotics in order to increase food production is a threat to public health and should be stopped, the FDA said today. The federal agency says it has the power to ban the practice, but it's starting by issuing "draft guidance" in hopes the food industry will make voluntary changes. The guidance is based on two principles: Antibiotics should be given to food animals only to protect their health. "We are seeing the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens," FDA Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein, MD, said at a news conference. Continue reading below... Sharfstein said it's a public health issue when antibiotics important for human health are given to animals on a massive scale.

Orthorexia nervosa sufferers like to focus on 'righteous' eating and have rigid rules about avoiding certain foods.
Photograph: Getty Eating disorder charities are reporting a rise in the number of people suffering from a serious psychological condition characterised by an obsession with healthy eating. The condition, orthorexia nervosa, affects equal numbers of men and women, but sufferers tend to be aged over 30, middle-class and well-educated. The condition was named by a Californian doctor, Steven Bratman, in 1997, and is described as a "fixation on righteous eating". Until a few years ago, there were so few sufferers that doctors usually included them under the catch-all label of "Ednos" – eating disorders not otherwise recognised.
"I am definitely seeing significantly more orthorexics than just a few years ago," said Ursula Philpot, chair of the British Dietetic Association's mental health group. Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Specialty Food — Home.
