This is a nice quote for this Thanksgiving weekend, one to remember all year long: "In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy." - Brother David Steindl-Rast

Having trouble losing weight? BPA may be to blame. It's commonly found in plastic water bottles and containers and on paper receipts. Spanish researchers found that exposing human pancreatic cells to minute amounts of BPA caused them to rel
ease nearly double the insulin necessary to metabolize a meal. Over time, the body may store more calories as fat. Most Americans probably have much higher levels of BPA circulating at higher levels than those in the study. One way to reduce your exposure is to use stainless steel instead of plastic bottles. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/338202/title/BPA_fosters_diabetes-promoting_changes

Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability. LOHAS.

The irony of the term is that in many instances, individuals considered to embody LOHAS tend ...

Maybe "healthy" and "natural" in the food industry will finally become meaningful. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/19/business/lawyers-of-big-tobacco-lawsuits-take-aim-at-food-industry.html?_r=2&ref=health

More than a dozen lawyers who took on Big To***co have filed 25 cases asserting that manufacturers like ConAgra Foods and PepsiCo are misleading consumers and violating federal law.

I learned something new this morning....artificial flavoring = numerous chemicals (and probably used to mask low quality food). http://www.naturallysavvy.com/natural-and-organic/worst-ingredients-in-food

It's HOT and sometimes hard to get my little guy to drink enough water (even when it's not hot outside). We keep a glass pitcher full of water in the fridge, with a cinnamon stick and a splash of vanilla in it, and this seems to do the trick for him. We have other recipes here: http://www.tazzini.com/pages/Tazzini-Recipes.html

Autism rates have increased over 79% in the last 10 years. Genetics don't change that rapidly (30 years ago, 1 in over 10,000 was affected; now it's more than 1 in 88). Exposure to toxins makes more sense. http://www.healthychild.org/blog/comments/080112_what_are_chemicals_linked_to_autism_doing_in_my_couch/

Editors Note: Flame retardant chemicals are associated with cancer, reproductive disorders, and hyperactivity. Earlier this year, scientists at UC Davis found exposure to flame retardants in the first study to demonstrate toxic chemicals in the environment and a genetics could combine to create auti...
