This blog started as a repository for family recipes. Over the years since inception this thing has become a mash up. I’ve spent the better part of my working life learning about what kills people. My other blog didn’t feel like the right place for stories like this. So if we’re passing along article links about food you’ll find plenty here.
I hope readers find this type of information useful. I’m not going to discourage anyone from eating nasty fried fast food chicken nuggets processed in China from unsanitary chickens raised and slaughtered in Chile.
It’s your personal choice.

Finally! A Recall on Hyland’s Homeopathic Teething Tablets | American Council on Science and Health
Last September, the FDA issued a news release cautioning that homeopathic teething tablets and gels may be harmful to babies and children, and issued a strong recommendation to not use them. This action was taken in response to reports of the teething products causing the illnesses of hundreds of infants and deaths of approximately ten babies. The move prompted some pharmacies to remove them from their shelves, which is great, except the bottles shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Pharmacies are not supposed to sell witchcraft.

Diet for Preventing Diabetes – Nutrition Action
Source: Diet clues for preventing diabetes – Nutrition Action
The title is catchy and leads you to believe you can “prevent” diabetes with diet. I personally favor the concept of delaying diabetes rather than preventing the disease. My father (deceased) had, and my youngest brother has diabetes. I knew what my risk was and continues to be.
Many years ago I asked one of the country’s top endocrinologists what I could do to avoid developing diabetes. His answer was short and simple:
Stay as thin as you can as long as you can.
Be nice to your pancreas!

These restaurant burgers are over the top – Nutrition Action
Mac and cheese, chili, eggs, hash browns, omelets, buffalo wings—probably not what you’re thinking of when you hear “burger toppings.” What happened to the good old days when a burger was a patty, a bun, and maybe some lettuce, tomato, and mayo?
