Here’s a really cool website I was sent to by a buddy on a Yahoo! group: Canned Veggies. Though the page is the home of the Canned Vegetable Council, there’s lots of good information here about uncanned veggies, too.
There are veggie bios that talk about how some of our favorite vegetables got to be […]

A study from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies finds that junk food marketing aimed at kids under 12 influences them to ask for unhealthy food and snacks.

I love random holidays. Every week and month are full of days, weeks and the months themselves that recognize different things. A check of Butler Webs tells us, for instance, that June is home to such events as Carpenter Ant Awareness Week, Step Parent Week and Hug Week. It’s also Dairy Month, Rose Month and […]

Managing the values of your blood sugar (glucose) is not critical for diabetics - only. Medical professionals recommend that patients who take certain medications maybe altering their carbohydrate metabolism. As a result, monitoring one’s blood sugar is vital.

The University of Michigan Integrative Medicine department has built a new food pyramid based around healing foods. The bottom of the pyramid is water, and the top is meat and “acompaniments” such as dark chocolate and alcohol. (You can see the pyramid here.)
