Consumers are dying today in part because they continue to eat dead foods that are killed in the microwave. They take a perfectly healthy piece of raw food, loaded with vitamins and natural medicines, then nuke it in the microwave and destroy most of its nutrition. Humans are the only animals on the planet who destroy the nutritional value of their food before eating it . All other animals consume food in its natural, unprocessed state, but humans actually go out of their way to render food nutritionally worthless before eating it. No wonder humans are the least healthy mammals on the planet. In Russia, microwave ovens were banned in 1976 because of their negative health consequences as many studies were conducted on their use.

The fight against child and maternal mortality is one of the Millennium Goals. But one reason for lack of progress is malnutrition and poor diet - in turn caused by rising global food prices. Hunger and malnutrition are not only the consequences of poverty but often also the very reason for it.

Cholesterol, C-reactive protein, homocysteine and triglycerides are probably the best known biomarkers used to assess cardiovascular risk. Uric acid typically isn’t included in this group of heart disease indicators. In the coming years, this may very well change. However, you and your doctors don’t have to wait for an official stamp of approval from the American Heart Association or any other organization in order to benefit from what’s currently known about uric acid. Of late, the role of high uric acid or hyperuricemia in relation to cardiovascular outcomes has become increasingly evident.

Prison Planet.com » Monsanto taking over global agriculture
April 19, 2012 Monsanto has been on a mission to control US agriculture. With the help of politicians and regulation agencies, the biotechnology company has been putting many farmers out of business. Many critics of the company believe it is the right of the people to know if they are consuming genetically-modified food.
When I was a kid, being served tomato soup was one of the worst forms of punishment. It wasn’t intentional, but that’s how my psyche and taste buds interpreted it. The stranger thing is that I actually enjoyed many other foods made from tomatoes, especially ketchup and marinara sauce. Perhaps my taste buds have matured, but I now enjoy tomato soup when it’s prepared to my liking, which is code for “when cream is added”. And while it’s true that most people enjoy foods with added cream, not everyone chooses to eat them. It could be that they’re sensitive to lactose, trying to lose weight or vegan.

17:00, Cardiology The food that inspires wariness is on course for inspiring even more wonder from a medical standpoint as scientists today reported the latest evidence that chili peppers are a heart-healthy food with potential to protect against the No. 1 cause of death in the developed world. The report was part of the 243 rd National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) being held this week. The study focused on capsaicin and its fiery-hot relatives, a piquant family of substances termed "capsaicinoids."

Maine Groups Press for BPA Ban After Chemical Found in Baby and Toddler Food
In mid-January, volunteers with The Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine went grocery shopping. They bought a dozen jars of baby food from major brands, like Gerber, Beech-Nut, Earth's Best Organic, and Wild Harvest. They also selected cans of Chef Boyardee mac 'n cheese and Campbells Chicken Soup and Spaghettios.Have you heard the one about the chef who fell in love with a fish? If not, check out Dan Barber's TED talk . He tells the gripping story of his visits to a fish farm where 30% of the fish-feed was chicken waste, and to a vast wetland aquaculture site in Spain where a key indicator of success is the pinkness of the bellies of the flamingos — and the health of a range of avian predators that consume some 20 percent of the semi-farmed fish. The insight that Barber shares is that the best, tastiest fish comes from systems operated against an ecological balance sheet. None of that was in my brain, however, while I watched in disbelief as a yellow cab with my bags inside streaked off from JFK airport towards New York, its passenger door swinging open, leaving me stranded. Amazingly, it took the driver 30 minutes to wake up to the fact that he didn't have a passenger – and another 30 to get back.

Frankfurt, Germany - A systematic and broad failure of regulation is the elephant in the room when it comes to reforming today's Western capitalism. Yes, much has been said about the unhealthy political-regulatory-financial dynamic that led to the global economy's heart attack in 2008 (initiating what Carmen Reinhart and I call "The Second Great Contraction"). But is the problem unique to the financial industry, or does it exemplify a deeper flaw in Western capitalism?
