Better cereal choices for kids

Better cereal choices for kids?

Some child-focused products are 50 percent sugar

Whether you’re shopping for actual or overgrown kids, we found four cereals with kid-focused marketing that scored Very Good in our new nutrition rating system, based on product label information. Cheerios, Kix, Honey Nut Cheerios (all General Mills), and Life (Quaker Oats) earned points for relatively lower sugar and higher dietary fiber, the two categories we weighed as most important. Cheerios topped the list with only 1 gram of sugar and a healthful 3 grams of fiber per serving.

SWEET CHECK Our new nutrition Ratings can help you decide which cereals to consider and which to skip.

The bad news is that 23 of the top 27 cereals marketed to children rated only Good or Fair for nutrition.

Night Eating is not an official type of eating disorder listed in the Diagnostic Criteria, but it is a very common problem and may be one of the more frequent causes of obesity. Night Eating is a stress-related eating, sleeping and mood disorder that is associated with disordered neuroendocrine function.

Night Eating Disorder Statistics

About 1-2 percent of the general population have severe impairments caused by night eating and night food craving.
More than 5 percent of the patients seeking therapy for obesity report symptoms of night eating. (Source ANRED).

Grain glossary: 20 whole grains to cook and eat

clipper's remarks: There's a brief description of each grain given, as well as recipe suggestions and cooking tips.

Clip Source: www.culinate.com

The bulk bins can be bewildering; even when you’re familiar with a particular grain, it’s mind-boggling to make sense of all the names it may go by. Groats, grits, steel-cut, rolled, puffed, pearled, cracked, flakes, and flour are the most common references, and all describe how the grain has been processed.

How the grain has been cut or milled affects both texture (hence taste) and cooking time.

By no means is this glossary comprehensive — I barely scratch the surface of rice, and I know of at least a couple of omissions (Job’s Tears, rye berries).

McCain Constantly Lies about this

McCAIN: Said that Obama has voted to raise taxes 94 times.

THE FACTS: As fact-checkers have constantly pointed out, that is an exaggeration. Per Factcheck.org:

23 votes were for measures that would have produced no tax increase at all; they were against proposed tax cuts.

7 were in favor of measures that would have lowered taxes for many, while raising them on a relative few, either corporations or affluent individuals.

11 votes the GOP is counting would have increased taxes on those making more than $1 million a year — in order to fund programs such as Head Start and school nutrition programs, or veterans’ health care.

The GOP sometimes counted two, three and even four votes on the same measure. We found their tally included a total of 17 votes on seven measures, effectively padding their total by 10.

The majority of the 94 votes

53 of them

were on budget measures, not tax bills

Four other votes were non-binding motions

Eating dark chocolate may keep heart healthy

Eating dark chocolate may keep heart healthy

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Eating dark chocolate regularly may help lower levels of inflammation, which is strongly associated with heart and blood vessel disease, Italian researchers report.

"In an apparently healthy population, even a small reduction of a low-grade inflammation such as that associated in this study with regular consumption of dark chocolate might have clinically relevant benefits in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease," Dr. Romina di Giuseppe of Catholic University in Campobasso write in the current issue of The Journal of Nutrition.

The benefits were seen when people ate up to one 20-gram serving of dark chocolate every 3 days, but eating more chocolate wasn't more beneficial; in fact, effects on CRP levels "tended to disappear" at higher consumption levels, the researchers found.

1996 McDonalds Hamburger cont...

Ladies, Gentleman, and children alike - this is a chemical food. There is absolutely no nutrition here.

Not one ounce of food value. Or at least value for why we are eating in the first place.

The burger on the right, off the paper is a 2008 burger. I had to buy it to get the groovy paper and bag.

The meat is a tad darker, the bun a little less golden but in 12 years it will look exactly like that too.

Do you find this horrifying?

McDonalds fills an empty space in your belly. It does nothing to nourish the cell, it is not a nutritious food.

It is not a treat.

I marvel at how McDonalds has infiltrated our entire world. A hamburger here tastes exactly the same in China or some around the world place.

It's cloned.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Do me a favor and share this.

1996 McDonalds Hamburger

Posted by Karen Hanrahan at 9/23/2008 7:24 PM and is filed under Nutrition,Parenting,HeathE News Archive

I teach a workshop titled Healthy Choices for Children. It's a class for parents seeking solutions to how to improve the way they eat. It's about the alternative food market, organics, and the top ten food additives to avoid and why, menu planning and more. It's a 3 session fabulously informative interactive class.

Below is my absolutely favorite prop.

People are always astounded when I share this.

I have used this as show and tell for a very long time.

This is a hamburger from McDonalds that I purchased in 1996.

That was 12 years ago.

Note that it looks exactly like it did the very day I bought it.

The flecks on the burger are crumbs from the bun.

The burger is starting to crumble a bit.

It has the oddest smell.

The paper and bag in the backround is circa 2008 - to add decor to the photo. My friend Robyn's idea.

What to do with Chinese mustard greens

Small stems sprouting many leaves make this pungent brassica an easy prep choice for satisfying those green vegetable cravings. Slice and saute with olive oil and garlic to fully enjoy the nutty, peppery flavor — and get your imagination working for future uses of this luscious green. Add chopped greens to butternut squash and garbanzo bean stew — as you would an herb — enriching your dish with a slightly mysterious flavor and tons of nutrition.

Saute fall mushrooms with olive oil, garlic, chopped mustard greens and lemon peel, then toss into steaming cooked farro, the new "it" grain of the season. Finish with lemon oil, chopped thyme and grated parmesan. Combine with the traditional Asian ingredients of ginger, chile paste, sesame oil and soy sauce and use as a base for grilled shrimp and noodle soup. Saute with bok choy, gai lan and chard — adding loads of garlic — then toss it all up with cooked pasta. Don't forget to shower it with grated dry Jack cheese

Natural and Herbal Cure for Low Sex Drive and Libido

Its an Another alternative to the common medicines used for treating Erectile Dysfunction, much cheaper and which has no secondary effects at all is the brand new Herbal Viagra. Its main advantages are the low price comparing to the one of the common viagra, and the same efficient results in treating the Erectile Dysfunction. An issue that we all have to agree on is the reason why viagra and cialis are so popular throughout the world: and the answer is the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in promoting and in advertising them. In fact, the majority of men taking viagra or cialis should actually be aware of the fact that a better nutrition and a healthier lifestyle can solve their sexual problems.
