I’ve been reading up on the ways in which quantum physics may help expand out understanding of chemistry and biology. This was one of the more interesting ideas I came across: that quantum entanglement may be what holds DNA together. So: this part is tough. The nucleotides in DNA—the molecules that make it up—join together to form the …

I’ve seen this article linked from a few places and it seems to be good food for thought. Canned Tomatoes – BPA concerns Corn-Fed Beef – probably best to avoid eating animals raised on corn/soy/grain heavy diets Microwave Popcorn – probably best to avoid popcorn altogether Nonorganic Potatoes – organic is more important for some foods, like potatoes Farmed …
If you’re looking to avoid BPA you really needs to not buy canned food. The vast majority of cans use BPA. The website Organic Grace has been collecting statements from various companies on their use of BPA. Definitely worth reading and following: http://organicgrace.com/node/316 Linked from the above web page is also information about Tetra-Paks, which …
It’s no secret that having lunch messes with your biochemistry. Once that sandwich hits your stomach, genes related to digestion have been activated and are causing the production of the many molecules that help break food down. But a new study suggests that the connection between your food’s biochemistry and your own may be more …

A step in the right direction. Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Corn
From NPR: Study: Most Plastics Leach Hormone-Like Chemicals The testing showed that more than 70 percent of the products released chemicals that acted like estrogen. And that was before they exposed the stuff to real-world conditions: simulated sunlight, dishwashing and microwaving, Bittner says. The team concentrated on BPA-free baby bottles and water bottles, Bittner says, “and …
I spent 2 years not eating fruit in an effort to kill off any microorganisms which fed on surplus sugar in my body. I have always looked to avoid sugar so before this I had wanted to find a fruit spread without sugar. Not that I am eating fruit again I have returned to the …
A roller derby mom with a son diagnosed with Autism changed her son’s diet to be “gluten-free, soy-free and casein-free” with extremely positive results. By now, his mom said, he is high-functioning, and she credits a lot of that to his gluten-free, soy-free and casein-free diet, which his doctor recommended after his diagnosis. (Casein is …

“I’m convinced people’s parasites walk them to Baskin-Robbins.” That’s what my nutritionist said in a discussion of how mircoorganisms – including bacteria, fungus, viruses, and parasites – affect behavior. One of the themes I wish to document on this site is the research in this area, and perhaps my own theories. I think we will see a …
