Avoiding nuts and seeds for better gut health? You shouldn ’t
Nuts and seeds are important components of a healthy diet. But if you have diverticula — little pouchlike structures that sometimes form in the muscular wall of the colon and bulge outward — you may worry about nuts or seeds getting stuck in those little pockets, which can cause a painful infection called diverticulitis.
Take heart. While it was once believed that nut and seed consumption could lead to diverticulitis, the link is unproven.
In fact, quite the opposite is true. Nuts and seeds are rich in fiber, which is important for gut health and keeping you regular.
How much fiber do you need daily? If you’re over 5...

Hemp Bill Leaves Texas Prosecutors in the Smoke
News that Texaseffectivelydecriminalized marijuana through poorly written hemp-farming legislation has upset state lawmakers and confused law enforcement officials and prosecutors.The legislation in question,H.B. 1325, amended the state agricultural code to permit production, sale, and possession of hemp and CBD products containing a THC concentration of 0.3 percent or less. What lawmakers missed was the inability of state crime labs to determine THC concentration. Shortly after the act was signed by the governor, the Texas District and County Attorneys Associationadvised their members it might be necessary to wait until t...

it’s safe to say that in life, we each have things we’re "working
on," right? You know, a personal habit we’re trying to break or build
upon. For me, it’s sleep. Always has been. Sleep might seem like a simple thing
that we all just naturally do, but if you’ve ever struggled to get in a few
solid hours of shut-eye (forget the full eight), then you know it can be a
pretty heavy issue to deal wi...

While there is considerable debate as to how much blame doctors should be assigned for the ongoing opioid crisis, there is little doubt they can do something to curtail it -- that instead of prescribing drugs that have been found to be highly addictive they can resort to alternate forms of pain management.
Doctors’ prescription of powerful painkillers like OxyContin is frequentl...

CBD: What is it? A former DEA agent explains.
What is CBD? Cannabidiol or CBD for short is made from either the marijuana plant that contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or hemp which contains little to any THC. “Hemp-derived” means that the CBD generally contains less than 0.3% THC while “marijuana-derived” contains higher amounts of THC.

CBD Oil — What are Potential Effects on the Brain?
According to this study, CBD causes hormonal changes that can lessen the intensity of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and social anxiety.
Regulates Behaviour & Cognition
CBD interacts with a broad range of receptors, and through complicated processes, it works as a therapeutic agent. While behavioral patterns tend to be complicated for many people, there are ways that CBD can reduce destructive behavior and facilitate positive change.

Deregulation and Profits
Deregulation and profits are unpopular ideas in some quarters these days. In amajor speech last summer, Senator Elizabeth Warren lashed out at the Trump administration ’s deregulatory efforts:Deregulation is code for ‘let the rich guys do whatever they want’ … The Trump administration and an army of lobbyists are determined to rig the game in their favor, to boost their own profit, the cost of the consumer be damned.… Regulations are about setting the rules of the road, plain and simple. Done right strong fair regulations protect the freedom of every American.Warren ’s comments are internally inconsistent and d...

It's No Use Crying Over Spelt Milk
We weren ’t kidding in the title to this post. There really is something calledspelt milk. There is also soy milk, rice milk, coconut milk, almond milk, hemp milk, quinoa milk, oat milk (that ’s not a typo – oat milk, not goat milk, although there is also goat milk of course), and pea milk (yes, really, pea milk). But now the cow milk producers are crying to the government (multiple branches, in many countries) that these non-dairy milks should not be allowed to use the term “milk. ” They claim this is about consumer confusion, but are any consumers confused about where soy milk comes from? Although recent pollin...

Healthy, Low Calorie Cauliflower Breadsticks
Do you think whoever named the cauliflower plant knew that one day we would evolve into overweight, carbohydrate-overloaded, gluten-intolerant creatures, who, in searching for a suitable lo-carb substitute would find their holy grail in that crucifer whose name is homonymous with the ground product of the very thing we both crave and shun?
Think cauliFLOUR.
Then go grind up a head of cauliflower in the food processor (or be lazy like me and buy Trader Joes riced cauliflower), steam or microwave it for 10 minutes, strain out the liquid in a tea towel, pour into a large bowl and add two egg whites, 1/4 cup hemp or flax seeds...

Is Coca-Cola really putting pot in its beverages?
A flurry of recent news reports would make you think so — here are a few examples:
Coke plans to brew weed drink

The truth turns out to be a bit less dramatic. Here’s how the company’s statement put it:
“We have no interest in marijuana or cannabis. Along with many others in the beverage industry, we are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world…. No decisions have been made at this time.”
