Physicist concocts ice cream that changes color when you lick it

Posted on by

“What happens when a physicist decides to become a chef? If they’re anything like Manuel Linares, then you can expect a fusion of food and science to come out of their kitchen.  He calls it the Xamaleón, a play on the Spanish word for chameleon, and it originally starts as a periwinkle blue frozen treat until it’s spritzed with Linares’ ‘love elixir,’ a super secret mixture he concocted himself. This mixture reacts to changes in temperature and saliva, causing the tutti-frutti-flavored ice cream to turn into purple, then into pink as you lick.  He also plans to whip up ice cream that turns from white to pink, and another one that glows under ultraviolet light.”

U.S. government waging war on school bake sales?

Posted on by

“The homemade brownies, cupcakes and Rice Krispies treats that parents prepare for these fundraisers will come under extra scrutiny because of new federal regulations that took effect July 1.  The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 puts the USDA in charge of monitoring whether schools meet the new healthy meal standards. The USDA also has the authority to set nutritional standards for all foods regularly sold in schools during the school day, including vending machines, the ‘a la carte’ lunch lines, school stores and the traditional K-12 bake sale.  More bake sales are offering processed, pre-packaged goods because the nutritional contents are clearly labeled.”

Autism Nation: America’s Chemical Brain Drain

Posted on by

“In 1981, the autism (ASD) rate in the United States was 1:10,000. In 2007, it was 1:150. In 2009, it was 1:100. In 2012, it was 1:88. In 2014, it is 1:68. At this rate of increase, by 2025 it will be 1:2, or 50 percent. For those of you tempted to think this is just greater awareness and expansion of the criteria for diagnosis, the CDC says that since the 2012 estimate of 1 in 88 children identified with ASD, the criteria used to diagnose, treat, and provide services have not changed, but the rate has increased another 30%.  Meanwhile, autism rates in Europe have remained virtually flat for the last decade. Recent estimates in European countries range from 1 in 5,000 in Germany to 1 in 700 in Portugal.”

FDA urged to approve aspartame as hidden additive in milk products

Posted on by

“The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) have filed a petition with the FDA asking the FDA to alter the definition of ‘milk’ to secretly include chemical sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose.  Importantly, none of these additives need to be listed on the label. They will simply be swept under the definition of ‘milk,’ so that when a company lists ‘milk’ on the label, it automatically includes aspartame or sucralose. And if you’re trying to avoid aspartame, you’ll have no way of doing so because it won’t be listed on the label.  This goes for milk, yogurt, cream, sour cream, eggnog, whipping cream and a total of 17 products.”

Drinking diet soda may trim your lifespan; linked to heart disease

Posted on by

“This is not the first study to report such findings. A 2012 study by French researchers published in ‘The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’ found a strong correlation between diet drinks and increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. Women who drink ‘light’ beverages tend to consume 43% more than women who drink normal sugary drinks, it concluded. What’s more, when consumed in equal quantities, artificially sweetened drinks were associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes.  The global market for artificial sweeteners is projected to reach $1.68 billion by 2018 from $1.39 billion in 2012, according to market research group Global Industry Analysts.”

Canola Oil: Good or Bad?

Posted on by

“Back in the day, an oil called rapeseed oil was often used for industrial purposes.  It was cheap to produce, but people couldn’t eat it because it contained some unfavorable substances.  A bunch of Canadian scientists wanted to turn rapeseed oil into an edible oil, so they used selective breeding techniques to ‘create’ seeds that contained less of these harmful, bitter substances.  This is how canola was born… but ‘Canola’ is a marketing term. It stands for Canadian Oil (some believe it stands for Canada Oil, Low Acid).  Today, about 90% of the world’s canola crop is genetically modified.  This short video shows how canola oil is made. I recommend you watch it.”

A low saturated fat diet ‘will not prevent heart disease or prolong life’

Posted on by

“Health professionals recommend following a diet low in saturated fat. But a leading US cardiovascular scientist says that adopting such a diet does not curb heart disease or prolong life.  In an editorial recently published in the BMJ journal Open Heart, Dr. James DiNicolantonio says the consumption of saturated fat was first criticized back in the 1950s.  But Dr. DiNicolantonio says the findings of this research were flawed. He notes that the study author reached his conclusion using data from only six countries, choosing to exclude data from 16 countries that failed to fit his hypothesis. However, Dr. DiNicolantonio says this data ‘led us down the wrong ‘dietary road’ for decades to follow.'”

Coca-Capitulation

Posted on by

“‘In an entirely voluntary move,’ Coca-Cola announced that it would ‘cease all worldwide marketing efforts to children under 12, put calorie counts on all packaging and labeling and ensure that low-calorie and no-calorie … beverages are available in every nation on earth where Coca-Cola is sold.’  The political assault on Coca-Cola is usually described in terms of health paladins using power to restrain an unscrupulous corporation. Whatever the truth of that narrative, food politics is also a brutal attack upon consumers who end up forcibly being ‘protected’ from their own choices.”

GM soy and corn feed turns pig stomachs to mush

Posted on by

“If you have stomach problems or gastrointestinal problems, a new study led by Dr. Judy Carman may help explain why: pigs fed a diet of genetically engineered soy and corn showed a 267% increase in severe stomach inflammation compared to those fed non-GMO diets. In males, the difference was even more pronounced: a 400% increase. (For the record, most autistic children are males, and nearly all of them have severe intestinal inflammation.)  The study was conducted on 168 young pigs on an authentic farm environment and was carried out over a 23-week period by eight researchers across Australia and the USA.”

Ex-Monsanto employee involved in discrediting GM corn study

Posted on by

“Remember the explosive 2012 study published in the Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) journal, in which Gilles-Eric Seralini and other researchers proved (with photographic evidence) that rats fed a lifetime of GM corn grew horrific tumors? It turns out that the study was retracted from the FCT in November 2013 – less than a year after the journal appointed Richard E. Goodman, an ex-employee of Monsanto, as the editor tasked with reviewing its biotechnology papers.”
