As part of HuffPost’s “Reclaim” project, HuffPost Taste will focus the entire month of July on simple ways you can reduce food waste in your own home.
In the sky-high aisles of Costco, where you can buy an engagement ring, an inflatable pool and a 3-pound bag of pre-peeled garlic cloves in one fell swoop, going overboard is not only inevitable, it almost seems encouraged.
But in America, where up to 40 percent of food goes uneaten, it’s important to do our part as consumers to help reduce food waste. As part of HuffPost’s “Reclaim” project, we decided to explore ways to ...

Estrogen Dominance is Near
Our primal ancestors had a tough life. They were constantly threatened by cold, famine, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and more.
In many ways we have a much easier life. But in other ways our modern world may be more deadly. You see, in the last 100 years our environment has been flooded with man-made chemicals, toxins and pollutants.
What Are The Worst Toxins?
Some of the worst toxins we face are what I call “xenoestrogens.” These alien estrogens mimic estrogen in your body. And they destroy your delicate balance of estrogen, testosterone and other hormones.
Research proves the link between these envir...

This Healthy One-Pot Pasta Recipe Will Be Your New Dinner Hero
Maybe you're the kind of person who lives for your next recipe -- you pore over cookbooks to find your next project, and you take painstakingly styled Instagram photos of each plate you build. Or maybe you're the kind of person who can't even be bothered to throw a packet of instant ramen into a boiling pot of water, so you just munch on it raw (which is delicious, by the way).
But no matter who you are, the last thing thing you want to do at the end of a long day is stand in front of a stove one second longer than you have to. And if you're feeling that sort of way, you probably hate doing dishes even more. Enter: o...

In Vitro and Cryopreservation Techniques for Conservation of Snow Mountain Garlic
Garlic is an important medicinal herb of culinary value by imparting its flavors and odors to the food. Allicin, a notable flavonoid in garlic, is a powerful antibiotic and antifungal compound.

Being sexually sterile, propagation of garlic is done by individual cloves from a bulb which increases the chances of transfer of viral diseases. In this chapter, an efficient and improved regeneration protocol for explant establishment and shoot multiplication under in vitro conditions is described. A high rate of shoot multiplication is obtained on M...

Spice Can Be Nice for Kids--and Improve Nutrition
By Keith-Thomas Ayoob, ED.D. March has been declared "National Nutrition Month" by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the national professional association of registered dietitian/nutritionists.

Our family’s story: Finding a second home after CLOVES diagnosis
Oliviah, Kollins and Adleigh
In July 2013, our family of four crowded into a tiny room at the Women’s Health Clinic in Casper, Wyoming. We were so excited to find out if our third child would be a boy or a girl, and our daughters Adleigh and Oliviah had their own hopes. We had waited for this day for so long, and for our daughters, it seemed like an eternity.
The day had finally come, and we all celebrated the fact that we would welcome a baby boy.
Our excitement lasted just a few minutes, though, as our obstetrician noticed a “bump” underneath our baby boy’s right arm. We were quickly sent to Rocky Mountain H...

Pulses: Little Beans With Big Opportunities
Courtesy of Pulse Canada As a new year quickly approaches, so does the United Nations' 2016 celebration of pulses. What is a pulse anyway? And why does the UN care so much about them? And, perhaps more importantly, why should you?
