I read articles related to food/health all the time, and want to start sharing the interesting ones with you! Here’s to good eating, good drinking, and good health, rockstar!
- Aspartame Causes Brain Damage – Did you know that aspartame was REJECTED by the FDA FOUR TIMES!?? Aspartame is also carcinogenic, and can make you fat! So scary that SO MUCH of it is in foods that we consume regularly. Excess sugar intake is bad for you, but artificial sweeteners are worse. This article is a bit technical, but it’s worth the effort and time to muscle through it. Show your body some love! Use the real stuff, and use it sparingly.
- Baffled by eggplant? Here’s an excellent guide on how to prepare eggplant for cooking.
- Labels can affect what we eat and what we wear. Even more reason to listen to your body while eating.
- Lilian Cheung gives us 7 Steps to Healthy Weight Loss, Without Dieting.
- I’m addicted to Kimberly Snyder. She talks a whole lotta sense, so you’ll be seeing quite a few links from her in the future. This week she explores why not all smoothies are created equal. Don’t let those smoothie chains fool you!
- Totally awesome idea for SPIDER PLACECARDS!!! Can you tell I’m totally amped for Halloween! These are just ADORABLE (not to mention affordable)!
I hope that you find these articles informative and entertaining. Have a fantastic weekend, y’all!!!
I’m shamefully hooked on Splenda. Terrible I know. But the first step is admitting the problem…
Good for you! (for admitting it, that is… ) Get you some real stuff, son! 😉
Aspartame has been one of those ingredients that has had many controversies over the years. I remember hearing a few years ago that it can also be a cause of cancer as well, but what isn’t these days. I say ditch the fake stuff because the calories you are saving isn’t worth the health risks involved with it. Though I must admit, that new Pepsi that blends the fake sugar with the corn syrup is actually not too bad at all.
Angel makes fun of how I say “aspartame”. I guess it’s said as-par-tame, and I say it with four syllables, ending in “me”. Now I do it just to annoy him.
Great resources. Thanks for doing your homework and sharing with the rest of us.
Thanks Cathy! I always read this stuff throughout the week, so I figured it’d be beneficial to start sharing it!
