Huge Frozen Vegetables Recall Affects 35 States
Well, this certainly disrupts our peas of mind.
CRF Frozen Foods is recalling 15 frozen vegetable products sold in 35 U.S. states, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced. The packages were sold under the brand names True Goodness by Meijer, Wellsley Farms Organic, Organic by Nature, and Schwan's.
The items -- which include frozen peas, corn and mixed vegetables -- "have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes." The bacterium can cause serious infections in anyone, though pregnant women, newborns, older adults and those with weakened immune systems are especially at r...

Link Between Heart Attacks And Osteoarthritis Surgery
Around 1.8 million people every year opt for hip or knee replacements. But I don’t recommend surgery, unless it’s absolutely necessary.
And new research reveals that in the month after they had surgery, these patients — many of whom are osteoarthritis sufferers — simply replaced their bad knees and hips with a heart attack.
Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic condition of the joints.
That’s why I recommend natural remedies that ease the pain of osteoarthritis in a much more effective and safer way — and in some cases they can even reverse this debilitating condition.
You see, getting a new hi...

What the Fork Are My Kids Eating?
© Evgeny Ustyuzhanin The other day my younger son came home from school with a green lollipop in his mouth. "Where did you get this?" I asked. "From our treasure box at school Mom," he replied with a little too much sass for my liking. While I do let my kids dabble in the super bad junk every so often (candy, hot dogs, etc.), I don't leave it to them to choose when (especially not my 7 year old with health challenges). Despite the fact that I provided his teacher with ample supply of Hunter-safe junk (apparently she ran out) and my child is very clear on what he can and can't have, he always pushes the limit. But he's a...

Why Your Smoothie Might Be Making You Fat
Love smoothies? Do you have them on a regular basis? Smoothies certainly pack in a punch. Depending on their ingredients they can give you protein, fiber, nutrients, vitamins and minerals our bodies need.

Shortcut to Better Brain Power
Natural caffeine is one of the oldest stimulants in the world. And it’s loaded with health benefits.
It can enhance your mental clarity and focus, and it’s a potent antioxidant… as long as you take it in moderation and it comes from natural sources.
But the problem with most energy drinks these days is the caffeine itself. It’s unnatural and synthetic.
We’ve known for a long time that the antioxidant power of caffeine cuts the risk of dying from heart disease or developing Alzheimer’s.
But now a study from the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, researchers looked at 30 years of data...

Optimal conditions for forcing cut pineapple lily
(American Society for Horticultural Science) Researchers determined effects of bulb storage temperature and duration, production environment, planting density, and forcing temperatures on cut flower production of four pineapple lily varieties. Experiments showed pineapple lily can be successfully grown in different production scenarios (field or greenhouse production), and may also be appropriate for unheated high tunnels. Pineapple lily may be grown for one season in crates in greenhouses, or outside as a perennial in the field in suitable climates. (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)

This Warehouse Lab Shows How We Can Grow Plants Underground
Dan Barasch and James Ramsey, the cofounders of the Lowline, have been working since 2011 to build the world’s first underground park inside an abandoned trolley terminal in New York City’s Lower East Side.
For the next five months, Barasch and Ramsey will be showcasing the park’s potential at the Lowline Lab, located in a warehouse on the Lower East Side.
The Lowline Lab contains an installation of Ramsey’s innovative solar technology, which funnels sunlight from rooftops in the area into the warehouse at an intensity that is strong enough to support plant life. The lab houses some 3,500 plants, in...
