  • Sugar Shrinks Your Brain

    I’m not as smart as I used to be.  But, I just thought it was something that happened to everybody as we aged… part of life.  Now I wonder – because I’ve learned: sugar shrinks your brain.  And I have a  CRAZY sweet tooth.  Plus the blood sugar roller coaster ride that goes hand in hand.  Can you stop the train?  I’d like to get off. Blood sugar surges are old news.  Brain shrinkage is new, at least to me.  Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist, explains that when we eat sugar, glycation takes place in our bodies. Glycation is the chemical process in the body whereby glucose, proteins, and certain fats become…

  • GMO’s in Food Affect Your Genes

    The term GMO is tossed around a lot these days, especially in the healthy food world.  What is a GMO and why are more and more people saying we need to avoid them? GMO’s are genetically modified organisms and they are made by combining DNA (genes) from different organisms.   I think this technology is fascinating and has lots of exciting applications, particularly in medicine, but in our food is NOT one of them! At a molecular level, our body absorbs the GMO’s that we eat in our food.   These GMO’s can do all sorts of things inside our bodies that we have almost no knowledge about.   For…

  • Organic Vs Natural – Do You Know the Difference?

    That’s a pretty-looking label, but do you know what it means? Absolutely nothing. It’s just marketing hype.  Consumers are waking up to what’s been happening to our food, and are wanting to make healthier choices.   The big companies know this, and so they’re beginning to label things “natural”, no matter what they are. The “natural” label is not subject to any federal regulation, and so companies can put it on any product that they choose.  That includes foods that are full of GMO’s (genetically modified foods) and growth hormones. The “organic” label, on the other hand, means a lot.  (For now.  GMO’s are beginning to contaminate organic crops and…
