A new report called Chain Reaction paints a less rosy picture. The problem with sourcing meat from animals that have been given antibiotics, whether they’re sick or not, is that as we consume more of this meat, we are harming our ability to respond to antibiotics. Seven strains of bacteria are now somewhat or completely resistant to antibiotics, according to The World Health

The average American kid under age 19 gets 12% of his or her calories from fast food. That’s the equivalent of one McDonald’s hamburger, a large fries at Wendy’s, or a medium chocolate-dipped cone at Dairy Queen — every single day. That percentage is only slightly less than the last time this number was measured in 2006, when kids got an all time high of 13% of their calories from fast food, according to a new report from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas produced when fuels, including coal, wood, charcoal, oil, kerosene, propane, and natural gas, are burned. When you inhale this gas, it enters your bloodstream where it replaces and blocks the oxygen molecules. If you inhale enough of it, the carbon monoxide can replace virtually all of the oxygen in your bloodstream, essentially suffocating you from the inside out. Your brain, which is especially vulnerable, may be suffocated in just four minutes after exposure to carbon monoxide.1 Initial symptoms of exposure include flu-like symptoms such as …read

Contamination with disease-causing fecal bacteria is one of them. To combat foodborne illness, the food industry has created solutions that further worsen matters — sterilization methods such as high heat, chemicals (chlorine-based or lactic acid washes, for example), and/or radiation are all common industry attempts to “sterilize” your food before it reaches the store.
