Black and White Thinking: Finding the Space Between
You’ve heard it before: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!” This is a frequently used saying, but what does it really mean? Picture it. Baby, covered in strained carrots, yogurt and dried cereal. I’ve been there. You put the little chubby giggle monster in the water, and it just gets gross. Things are floating around, and the water changes into this murky swamp of ick. Does that water make the baby less precious and snugly? Not at all. They are separate things. Gross water. Baby. Gross water does not make gross baby. We can put that together so easily with the baby metaphor, but no...

5 Myths and Truths About Choking
As a pediatric feeding therapist, I often encounter parents with misconceived notions about choking, especially when their children are between 6 months and 4 years old and just learning to eat a variety of solid foods. Below, I list five common myths SLPs can dispel, along with five truths we can share to raise awareness and keep “learning eaters” safe. Myths: Coughing while eating signals choking. Typically, occasional coughing while eating means the child experienced difficulty coordinating the swallowing mechanism, and is attempting to expel any residue from the airway and surrounding area. In order to cough, air...

"What happens when #dumplings come together with a crowd-pleasing veggie burger? @nytfood recommends taste-testing a new pot-sticker-style dumpling at @mimichengs in the East Village. Based on the "guac burger" at @bychefchloe, a Greenwich Village vegan spot, these dumplings come stuffed with an earthy mix of black beans, quinoa and sweet potato. On the side: Chipotle aioli. @bryanthomasphoto photographed the guac burger dumplings while on #nytassignment. To see @nytfood's full to-do list this week, visit the link in our profile."

I suggest trying one and observing changes in y0ur child’s digestive health. If you don’t see the desired result (either stool that is too loose or continued constipation), try a different brand.

Can I eat quinoa?
It’s a frequent question: Can I eat quinoa . . . or beans, or brown rice, or sweet potatoes? These are, of course, non-wheat sources of carbohydrates. They lack several undesirable components found in wheat, including no: Gliadin–Degraded to exorphins that exert mind effects and stimulate appetite to the tune of 400 additional calories per day. Gliadin–Intact, gliadin triggers autoimmune diseases and neurologic impairment. Amylopectin A–-The highly-digestible “complex” carbohydrate of grains that is no better–-worse, in fact–-than table sugar. So why not eat non-wheat carbohydrates all you want? If the...

Key Ingredient Left Out Of Food Safety Rules
The sign inside my favorite Trader Joe’s announced a recall of raw cashew pieces due to concern over Salmonella. The soup for my dinner party would switch from a cauliflower-cashew to a sweet potato one. Minor inconvenience for me; major one for the food producer and anyone potentially made ill from the contaminant. Salmonella is a nasty pathogen. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted that most people infected with the pathogen will develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours. The illness continues for four to seven days. Yet, in some people the infection manifests as reactive...

Repost: Characterization of the infant noggin channel, Oral1
Conclusion: These data have substantially enhanced our understanding of the Oral1 selectivity filter, although in the absence of a successful attempt to crystallize Oral1, a precise structure of the channel pore is not yet available for us to draw more informative conclusions regarding the relationship between structure and function for this channel. Regardless, on the basis of the evidence presented in this paper, it is reasonable to predict that things are going to get progressively messier in the coming months.[Originally posted 4th Jan 2009] (Source: Across the Bilayer)
