Processed Poison: A New Meat Study

If you have a sandwich in one hand and a mouse in the other, I can guarantee you that you’re not going to like this article. A new study sheds light on the dangers of processed meats. That means favorites like sausage, bacon, hot dogs and deli meats. These tasty items are linked to a 42% increase in heart disease and 19% increase in the risk of developing diabetes. And we’re not talking a lot of it either. A daily 1.8 ounce serving [that’s one hot dog, folks!] was enough to increase risk.

The good news is that unprocessed meats like lamb and beef did not demonstrate the same health risks. The obvious conclusion is that, once again, the food industry is poisoning us for profits. The chemicals used in the processing are the culprits, not the meat itself.

Of course, the president of the American Meat Institute said that these facts are no reason to make dietary changes. And you can trust him. So just forget the whole thing and finish that salami sandwich. In the meantime, I have a refrigerator to clean out.

Blue M&M's Might Be Able to Treat Spinal Injuries

Researchers have been testing the effects of a compound called "Brilliant Blue G" on lab rats. The compound is a blue dye found in blue M&M's that give them their distinctive color.

The researchers injected rats with spinal injuries with Brilliant Blue G. The compound improved recovery and reduced the lesions that came along with the injury. The way it worked is that the compound blocks another chemical that causes more cell damage during an injury, thus reducing the "secondary spinal cord damage" that the chemical causes. The result? The rats with spinal injuries that received treatment with Brilliant Blue G were able to walk again, while the control group rats that weren't treated were not.

Now, before you start picking out blue M&M's to put into your first aid kit, it's important to note that the dye was only effective 15 minutes after sustaining the injury, it has to be absorbed intravenously, and one of the side effects is that the rats' skin turned blue. So..... I guess you need to keep you're chiropractor around for a little while longer!

Watch What You Have For Lunch....

McDonald's SALADS are more fattening than their burgers.

You can see for yourself in their nutrition facts. A hamburger at McDonald's has 9 grams of fat. A cheeseburger has 12 grams of fat. The Premium Caesar salad with crispy chicken has 17 grams of fat. The Premium Southwest Salad with crispy chicken and the Premium Bacon Ranch Salad with crispy chicken both have 20 grams of fat.

On top of that, SALAD DRESSING adds EVEN MORE fat. If you want to add Creamy Southwest Dressing, it's 6 more grams of fat. The Ranch Dressing has 15 grams of fat. The Creamy Caesar Dressing has 18 grams of fat. So, if you get a salad with crispy chicken and salad dressing, you could be consuming 35 grams of fat - the fat equivalent of 4 hamburgers.
