A new report from the Environmental Working Group has found that children are exposed to a variety of chemicals in the daily personal care routines.
The study noted that on average, children are exposed to 27 chemicals that have not been assessed for safety by the government or industry. More specifically More on Children Exposed To Dangerous Chemicals Daily

Recent research now shows that twice as many adults in the United States are obese compared to adults in Europe. About 33 percent of Americans are obese, compared with 17 percent in ten European countries reviewed.
Obesity, as past research has shown, leads to a number of other diseases including cancer, diabetes and others. This also increases our health care costs dramatically and they are directly tied to the ‘obesity factor’.
Our health care expenditures related to obesity range from $100-150 billion per year and the costs are only rising. Why does this continue? The research’s author commented “It is possible that we spend more on health care because we are, indeed, less healthy.”
That’s true, and only there is only one solution: taking responsibility for our own health. Watching what we eat, getting active and keeping a positive outlook on our lives. This is sometimes a challenge in today’s fast paced, every busier world, although it’s a choice. A choice we all make by either doing something about it or just letting things happen and then ending up in the hospital, bankrupt, or possibly an early death.
Life is a wonderful gift, take care of yours.
To your best health!

Scientists from the Rowett Research Institute have discovered that those on a low carb diet, a diet normally low on breads, pastas, fruits and vegetables, cause a 4-fold reduction in a cancer fighting fatty acid found in the stomach.
The fatty acid, called butyrate, is created by cancer fighting bacteria in the stomach. In the study, dieters that ate a low carb diet had a four-fold reduction in the bacteria and are at risk for colorectal cancer.

Low carb diets in general avoid the most important foods in our diet, fruits and vegetables. Not only do they provide the nutrients not found in most other foods, they also contain fiber, not found in meat or animal products, that is essential for good bowel function. It’s no surprise to me that the risk of colorectal cancer increases since it’s quite clear from other studies and good common sense that your body needs fiber to function properly, and that avoiding it will often cause cancer.
