It stands for Bisphenol A. It is a chemical used in the production of plastics and resins, such as some water bottles and the coatings of some food cans. It is also used in some consumer goods, such as compact discs and thermal cash register tapes.  And it has generated controversy about its impact on human health and development.


The Food and Drug Administration’s assessment is that the scientific evidence at this time does not suggest that the very low levels of human exposure to BPA through the diet are unsafe.


The agency has performed extensive research on BPA, has reviewed hundreds of other studies, and is continuing to address questions and potential concerns raised by certain studies.

Avoid Getting Sick: Top 8 Germiest Public Places Exposed Guard Yourself Against Viruses and Bacteria in These Public Areas

Avoid Getting Sick: Top 8 Germiest Public Places Exposed Guard Yourself Against Viruses and Bacteria in These Public Areas


By Nicole McEwen, Special to Lifescript
Published March 11, 2012




Worried about you or your kids picking up the flu virus or other common illnesses at school, in restrooms or at the mall? There’s good reason: Viruses and bacteria run rampant on the surfaces you touch every day. We blow the lid on the 8 germiest public places and give you expert tips to avoid getting sick...


Touch a germ-infected surface, then rub your nose or mouth, and the next thing you know, microbes are dancing the mambo in your body.


With the cold and flu and other run-of-the-mill bugs crawling about public places year round, germaphobes have plenty to worry about.




No wonder. Unfortunately, going anywhere people congregate can boost your chances of getting sick, says Philip Tierno, Ph.D., author of The Secret Life of Germs (Atria) and director of clinical microbiology and immunology at New York University's Langone Medical Center.


That’s because viruses and bacteria live practically everywhere — shopping malls, grocery stores, playgrounds, petting zoos, restaurants. They can survive up to two hours on shopping carts, escalator handrails, even doorknobs before they find their next victim.


“We encounter about 60,000 types of germs every year, but if you’re healthy, there’s no need to fear going out in public,” Tierno says.


Only 1%-2% are potentially dangerous to people with normal immunity. Plus, the body has an incredible ability to fight off germs. Special cells called neutrophils and lymphocytes (white blood cells) attack any microscopic invader.

David Wolfe's Ultimate Vegan Smoothie!

David's Wolfe's Vegan Smoothie: David Wolfe makes a totally Vegan Smoothie and uses coffee, fresh coconut, chocolate nips, cocoa butter, berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), cashews, Goji berries, Maca (be careful with the dosage -- use one tablespoon); green foods such as Spirulina (an algae); and Agave Nectar or Syrup.


David recommends that you drink water first thing early in the morning to flush your system, then follow up with a Vegan Smoothie. The idea is to have high antioxidant Super Foods in your Smoothie. Think of all the rainbow colors -- green, red, blue, yellow -- each Super Food brings something to the table in terms of their antioxidant properties.


Liquids: Other liquids that you can use for your smoothie are water, green tea or black tea, Grape Juice, Pomegranate Juice, Apple Juice, Apple Cider, Apple Vinegar, Beet Juice, and Carrot Juice.


Fruits: You can also add fruits such as banana, melons (Watermelon, Honeydew, Cantaloupe, Casaba and Canary or San Juan melons), pineapple, apple, pear, grapes, mango, papaya or pawpaw, lemon (remove the seeds, cut into pieces and add 1/8 of a lemon, including the lemon rind and zest; when using a Meyer Lemon, which is sweeter, use 1/4 of the lemon).


Vegetables: kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, carrots, ginger, and avocado.


Herbs: basil, mint


Spices: turmeric, cardamom


Videos: See the videos below to learn more about David Avocado Wolfe's approach to Vegan Smoothies.

Chocolate Chai Smoothie!

There is nothing like Chocolate to make you feel really good! Okay, okay -- there may be other things that can make one feel good but for me I am in heaven when I have chocolate!


David Wolfe's Chocolate Smoothie: I decided to try David Adocado Wolfe's "Chocolate Smoothie". My first attempt at making David's version was a major disaster! The chocolate did not blend at all and the cashew nuts were all chunky. It was a total mess and not a very good experience. However, I am not one for following any recipe wholesale so I decided to retry David's recipe using my own approach and my unique twist on things -- so here goes!


My Approach: First, I broke up and melted the block of chocolate in warmed up Coconut Milk and Almond Milk with Vanilla Extract. This worked out great! I stirred in the spices and chocolate powder, and poured the melted chocolate and spice mixture into the blender with the bananas, yogurt, ginger, honey and aloe vera gel. I then blended all the ingredients into a smoothie. The result was wonderful! One of the best smoothies I have ever had! The "Chai" effect comes from the spices.


One can actually make ice cream or sherbert out of any smoothie. If you freeze the fruits before making the smoothie, you will get a soft-serve or sherbert type smoothie. Just experiment to find out what works best for you.


Here is the recipe for my Chocolate Chai Smoothie:


Ingredients
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Almond Milk
1/2 cup Nonfat Yogurt
2 peeled Bananas (cut into large slices)
1/4 cup Aloe Vera Gel or 4in piece of freshly peeled Aloe Vera fillet
3/4 oz solid Dark Chocolate (70% or more cocoa or cacao)
2 tablespoons Cocoa or Cacao Powder
1 or 2 tablespoons Honey (optional to taste)
1 tablespoon freshly peeled and chopped Ginger
1 teaspoon freshly cracked Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon powdered Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Turmeric (optional)
4 pods green Cardamom (optional -- crack open the pods and remove the seeds)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt (optional)


Alternative ingredients when not using Coconut or Almond Milk
(Coconut and Almond Milk are good for people that are lactose intolerant):
1 cup Non-fat or Low Fat Milk or Soy Milk
1 tablespoon melted Organic Coconut Oil
1/4 cup Roasted Cashew Nuts (add when using a blender, such as Vita Mix, with powerful blades)
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (to taste)


Tools
Blender
Measuring Cup
Small glass or metal mixing bowl
Small glass container (for melting Coconut Oil)
Cutting board
Chef's Knife
Measuring spoons


Steps
1. Break up and place the block of dark chocolate into the mixing bowl.
2. Warm up the Almond Milk, Coconut Milk and Vanilla Extract and pour the warm milk into the mixing bowl with the chocolate chunks. (If you are using a Microwave to warm up Coconut and Almond Milk just add the milk in a glass bowl with the chocolate. Be sure to use a low heat setting such as "Defrost" or microwave for just one minute until the milk is warm. Do not boil the milk! The purpose of the Smoothie is to get the beneficial properties of the ingredients. Microwaving or heating the milk at a high temperature will destroy the beneficial properties so just take your time!)
3. Gently stir the warm milk and the chocolate chunks until all the chocolate is melted.
4. Add the powdered chocolate and all the spices and stir until thoroughly mixed.
4. Add the sliced bananas, ginger, cardamon, yogurt, honey and aloe vera gel to the blender
5. Pour the melted chocolate and spice mixture into the blender and blend all the ingredients into a smoothie. (Start the blender on "Stir" or "Mix" and then increase the speed!)
6. Serve the "Chocolate Chai Smoothie" in a tall glass! Enjoy!


(You can pour any remaining "Chocolate Chai Smoothie" into a Thermos-style "BPA-Free" flask and store in the fridge for a snack later or the next day. Do not keep smoothies in the fridge for more than one day!)


Notes:


1. Aloe Vera: If using fresh Aloe Vera fillet, be sure that it is "Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller" and remove all the skin since the skin has laxative properties. You can freeze the remaining aloe vera fillet and use it in another smoothie as soon as possible. I am growing my own Aloe Vera plant so I can use the fresh fillet but I have a full-grown plant, I am using the Lily of the Valley Certified Organic Aloe Vera Gel which I obtain from a Super Supplement store or Pharmaca. I particularly like Pharmaca because there are trained Naturopathic specialists that were trained at Bastyr University that can discuss supplements in an intelligent way.

Kimchi or Kimchee -- one of the best ways to eat raw vegetables!

Kimchee: I love Korean food and particularly "Kimchi" or "Kimchee" -- a Korean delicacy which is just raw vegetables pickled in brine, spices, chiles, ginger and garlic. Although I had been to Korean restaurants in California, I developed my love of Kimchee from eating the Kimchee served at the "Bento Box" which was my favorite Japanese/Korean Restaurant located in the Overlake Shopping Center in Redmond, WA.


Bento Box: When I first moved from California to Washington and I was studying for the CFA exam, I had to study in the Seattle University Library after work until the Library closed at 9:00 pm. I would get to Eatside and Bellevue, where I then lived, very late at night and often too tired to cook!


Eventually, I discovered the "Bento Box Restaurant" -- a small local restaurant which was then owned by a young Korean couple who had moved from California to Washington the year before I arrived in Washington. The husband had worked for a Japanese restaurant in California. When they moved to Washington they purchased the restaurant and decided to serve Japanese/Korean food. The food was fresh and most items were made from scratch. Their Kimchee was the best Kimchee I had ever had! It did not come from a bottle -- it was made from scratch so you could really taste the ingredients! Their Gyoza (steamed and fried pork dumplings or pot stickers) were also made from scratch and very flavorful!


For almost three years until I completed the CFA exams, the Korean couple literally fed me! They became like family to me. I would show up late just before they closed at 10:00 pm. The husband would fire up the grill and cook my favorite "Spicy Chicken" and I would get a generous helping of Kimchee and Miso Soup! The meal was often enough to last for two days!


Cabbage: I know it is good to eat vegetables raw but sometimes it is a bit too much for one's stomach to digest and can result in gas. I know that raw Cabbage both green and red is really good and has medicinal properties; however, it is hard to eat raw cabbage. The options for preparing cabbage are boiling, steaming, stir fry, coleslaw (salad), or pickled such as Kimchee or Sauerkraut (a German delicacy).


Coleslaw: I love Coleslaw (raw cabbage, carrots, apple, fennel, onions or scallion with a creamy and vinegary mayonnaise dressing) but I don't like the calories. One can always make a lower calorie version with less mayonnaise and more Dijon Mustard.


Sauerkraut: I also love Sauerkraut which is another form of preserving cabbage. One can also make Sauerkraut from scratch using a lacto-fermentation process that involves the cultivation of beneficial bacteria. If you don't do it properly and it does not go well it can be bad for you.


Making Kimchee: I particularly love Kimchee because it involves the use of vinegar and one can get the Kimchee flavor without the fermentation process! Now when I crave Kimchee, I no longer go to my favorite Korean restaurant for my fill of the spicy Kimchee because I have learned how to make Kimchee from scratch.


I use fresh Red Thai Chiles in my Kimchee. I purchase the Thai Chiles from an Asian Food store and I freeze the fresh Thai Chiles for use as needed. Thai Chiles also have medicinal properties.


I don't ferment the Kimchee that I make at home because I don't want to risk breeding bacteria. I make a fresh batch and put it in glass bottles (such as "Mason Jars"*) with tight lids and place the Kimchee in the fridge immediately. The next day -- my homemade Kimchee is ready to enjoy with grilled chicken, turkey or fish.


All of the ingredients used for making Kimchee have beneficial medicinal properties that is why it is so good for you. (Please note that I use Turmeric and Cardamom in my food because of their medicinal properties. You can omit these spices, if you don't have them but you should consider adding beneficial spices and herbs to your food.)


Here is the recipe for homemade Kimchee:


Ingredients
1 medium Cabbage or "Napa or Chinese Cabbage" (cut lengthwise in four and julienned)
(Other Option: 2 medium Cucumbers cut into two and sliced)
(Optional: 2 medium or large Carrots peeled and juliiened)
1/2 medium Onion or 3 medium Green Onions or Scallions (sliced or julienned)
1/4 cup chopped or grated fresh Ginger
2 or 3 cloves Garlic (sliced or chopped)
1/2 cup Seasoned Rice Vinegar (or Apple Cider Vinegar)
2 teaspoons Sea Salt
5 to 10 Red Thai Chiles (chopped or blended -- quantity depends on your taste)
Few drops of Sesame Oil (optional and to taste)
4 to 6 pods green Cardamom (optional)
1 tablespoon Turmeric (optional)


Tools
Medium Glass or Ceramic Mixing Bowl
Small mixing bowl (optional)
Blender (optional)
Cutting board
Chef's knife
Sanitized Mason Jars (sanitize in boiling water and drain)
Spoon


Steps
1. Place the Rice Vinegar, Sea Salt, Thai Chiles, Sesame Oil, and other spices in the small mixing bowl or blender and blend or mix.
2. Place the cabbage, ginger, garlic, onion or scallion and other vegetables in the large mixing bowl.
3. Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables and use a spoon to thoroughly coat the vegetables.
4. Add more salt to taste, if necessary.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the vegetables rest for about one or two hours until slightly wilted.
6. Spoon the vegetable mix into the Mason Jars, cover with a tight lid, and place in the fridge.
7. The next day, you can enjoy your homemade Kimchee by itself as a snack or with grilled chicken, turkey or fish.


Please try my homemade Kimchee recipe and let me know how much you enjoyed it!

Note:
*Mason Jars: do not spend money purchasing "Mason Jars". Save glass bottles such as spaghetti and jam bottles and reuse. If you shop at "Trader Joe's", most of the glass bottles they use for products such their "Marinara" or spaghetti sauces are Mason Jars. Do not throw them out. You can reuse them for pickling and storing vegetables in the fridge or freezing vegetables, meat and fish.

Mother lets baby boy drown; admits she hated him - NY Daily News

 Very sad! A certain percentage of new mothers suffer from post-partum depression. Most people are not aware of this phenomenon. If you are a new mother and are depressed or unable to feel love for your baby, please seek help! Post-partum depression is due to a chemical imbalance in your brain and it can be cured with medication. A social worker should have been assigned to follow up with the mother to ensure that she was coping well. I hope the mother gets the counseling and help that could have prevented this tragedy. May the baby's dear soul rest in eternal peace!

Dennis Merritt Jones: Reverence Thyself First: Where the Sacred Journey Begins

Ever so often I read an article that is profound and makes me sit up and evaluate how I look at things and treat other people that do not share my values. This article by Dennis Merritt Jones -- speaks to God's creation and divine presence in all things including even the lowliest weeds.


Last summer, I would go on long walks and would pick marigolds and other field flowers such as dandelion flowers. Most people consider dandelion to be a weed but the flowers and leaves are edible and also have medicinal properties. The interesting thing about the dandelion flower is that it has a vibrant yellow color. The flower would close at night into a tight bud and then open in the morning.


I also found out from the owner of Herban Wellness, a local wellness shop located in Kirkland, WA, that dandelion root is used for cleansing. Dandelion has been used for its medicinal and anti-inflamatory properties -- for treating infections, bladder infections, and as a diuretic for liver cleansing.


So next time you see a weed, take a second look at it and remember the awesomeness of all of God's creations and his divine presence in all things!

Health Benefits of Yerba Mate

The article below is from the Underground Reporter newsletter.


=========


Did You Know...


... that bioactive compounds in yerba mate tea have been shown to cause cancer cells in the colon and liver to die?


Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. One of the reasons colorectal cancer is so deadly is that it has no symptoms until the advanced stages—so it can be exceptionally difficult to diagnose.


However, when caught early enough, this cancer can be quite curable. Doctors recommend regular screening as a preventative measure, but what if you could simply kill any developing cancer cells from the comfort of your own kitchen?


According to a recent study conducted by scientists from the University of Illinois, one of the best possible ways to prevent colon cancer could be by drinking a cup of yerba mate tea.


What is Yerba Mate?


Yerba mate is made from the leaves of a tree (Ilex paraguariensis) native to South America. The people indigenous to that region have long been aware of yerba mate's medicinal applications. Now, researchers worldwide are beginning to investigate—and confirm—the tea's healing powers.


Stopping Colon Cancer at Its Cellular Source


The University of Illinois study is just one exciting example of scientific validation of yerba mate. Elvira de Meja, an associate professor of food chemistry and food toxicology at the University, headed the research team. For the study, de Meja and her colleagues isolated and purified caffeine derivatives—including caffeoylquinic acid, or CQA—of yerba mate tea.


The team then used those derivatives to treat colon cancer cells in vitro (in a laboratory vessel, such as a test tube). As the team increased the concentration of CQA, cancer cells began to die away as the result of a process known as apoptosis.


"Put simply, the cancer cell self-destructs because its DNA has been damaged," de Meja explains. She and her fellow scientists believe this ability of yerba mate to induce apoptosis and cancer cell death makes it a promising treatment option for all types of cancer.


The results of de Meja and her team's work were published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research in 2011. Considering the implications of those results, more inquiries into yerba mate's potential as an anti-cancer weapon are sure to be forthcoming.


Fighting Cancer by Reducing Inflammation


Not only do the caffeine derivatives from yerba mate kill cancer cells, but they also reduce cellular inflammation. Inflammation can trigger cancer's onset and progression. The tea's anti-inflammatory capabilities are one of the major reasons de Meja sees it as such a viable cancer-fighting agent.


Benefits Include Heart Health, Fat Loss, and More

In addition to fighting cancer, yerba mate's potent caffeine derivatives may be helpful in combating other disease associated with inflammation. And separate studies have also suggested a host of other benefits obtained from drinking yerba mate, showing that it ...


Reduces oxidative stress on the heart and liver
Protects DNA from damage
Kills liver cancer cells in humans
Improves the flow of blood
Lowers risk of heart disease
Reduces fat accumulation




90% More Antioxidants than Green Tea


Aside from the caffeine derivatives, yerba mate is rich in several important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Some blends of yerba mate have 90% more antioxidants than green tea. Some of the other significant compounds found in yerba mate include:


B vitamins
Vitamin C
Potassium
Zinc
Quercetin
Theobromine
Theophylline




A Beginner's Guide to Drinking Yerba Mate (Just One Cup Kills Cancer Cells!)


When prepared traditionally, it is brewed and served in a hollowed-out gourd. A metal straw with a filter on one tip is used to prevent drinkers from sucking up the leaves.


The tea is available in a more convenient, pre-bagged form at most health food stores. It can be found at some of the larger supermarkets as well.


The beverage's flavor is typically described as smoky... bitter... and woody, which may explain why many American consumers have had to acquire the taste.


If the first sip doesn't go down smoothly, just think of all the disease-fighting powers you're drinking in. When you remember that yerba mate's health benefits far outweigh the effort it takes to tolerate the taste, the medicine goes down more easily.


The University of Illinois study showed that the concentration of bioactive compounds contained in just one cup of yerba mate tea is sufficient to kill off colon cancer cells.


"We believe there's ample evidence to support drinking mate tea for its bioactive benefits," says de Meja.

Vitamin K2 | Natto, Natural Menaquinone Source - Mercola.com

I first heard of Natto, an ingredient in Japanese cooking, on Iron Chef Japan. Natto is made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis. It is a rich source of protein and probiotics.


According to Dr. Mercola, research has shown that Natto is high in Vitamin K2 which includes "Menaquinone 7" or "MK-7". Dr. Mercola states that another source of Vitamin K2 is cheese, particularly, curd cheese. Curd cheese is also a good vitamin K2 source because it’s lower in fat (animal fat) than regular cheese. However, when compared to Natto in equal portions -- Japanese food Natto contains over 27 times more vitamin K2 than curd cheese.




An article published in the Journal of Nutrition, titled "Dietary Intake of Menaquinone Is Associated with a Reduced Risk of Coronary Heart Disease: The Rotterdam Study" confirms the health benefits of Vitamin K2.


So how can we incorporate Natto into our diet? I found a website -- Shizouka Gourmet -- that teaches you how to make Natto from scratch and also provides a number of easy recipes for both vegans and health-conscious omnivores like me.


Making Natto from scratch may be a stretch for some of us, so I suggest that you check out what is already available and ready to use from your local Japanese grocery store such as Uwajimaya.
