1. Five Foods To Avoid

    There are numerous products that should be steered clear of. Most are quite obvious: cotton candy, Butterfingers, Hardee’s Monster Thickburgers. However, some foods are not as blatantly filthy. I plan to talk about those.

    1. Canned Food – Canned goods contain a nasty chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) within their lining.1 Several studies have linked it to different diseases and cancer. It is certainly something that should be avoided. Even some self proclaimed healthy and ‘organic ‘ food suppliers use packaging produced with BPA.2 However, companies such as Nalgene3 and Eden Organics4 have recognized the health risks of BPA and have made special efforts to eliminate its use in their packaging and products.

  2. If You Can’t Pronounce It, Don’t Eat It Series – Ace not OK (Acesulfame Potassium)

    If it takes me more than seven seconds to subvocalize the ingredients of any food item, its back to the shelf buddy. Here’s a good one: Acesulfame Potassium. Someone correct my pronunciation if I am wrong. A licensed dietitian forced me to say it like that.

    Ace K was approved by the FDA in 1988. Big deal. This stuff taste like crap and has undergone minimal testing, especially human testing. (more…)

  3. Tiger Sauce on Blood Red Roast Beef with Dick’s Horseradish

    Tiger Sauce typically consists of mayonnaise and horseradish. Its primary function is to be applied to rare roast beef sandwiches. Sweet baby Jesus it’s an enchanting culinary delight.

    Dick’s Horseradish caught my attention for two reasons: Cost and Simplicity. Horseradish root, vinegar and salt are the contents of this product. Shame on all of the overpriced “horseradish” like substances charging twice as much for a mediocre product.

  4. Katiebug Soap and Taking Short Showers

    Taking showers is not only inconvenient, but detrimental to my well being. Yes I take showers, I don’t like them, but I take them. My first complaint is the harsh municipal water supply. Typically with showering there is a lot of steam involved which only potentiates the negative effects of tap water. Combine this with the chemicals in my cleaning products, my bronze summer tan will fade within 3-4 days of obligatory personal hygiene. Despite my disdain, I still clean myself, I promise.
