HELPFUL GROCERY SHOPPING TIP - READ THE LABEL AND THE CONTENT AMOUNT
Dear Readers:
Do you notice any difference between the two cans? Well, there is! Same size can, but one has a lesser amount of black pepper. It seems that one of their competitors has called them on it and has taken them to court. Read the article HERE
Over 20 years ago I really started paying attention to labels and the content amount on products I was purchasing. My first eye opening experience was with buying flour. I generally always bought 10 pounds of flour, just grabbing it off the shelf without really comparing prices. One day as I was taking my time, I discovered that it was cheaper to buy two 5 pound bags of flour than to buy one 10 pound bag. I think I finally realized at the point 'bigger' was not always cheaper.
Next, I started paying attention to the sizes of the containers and the content amount in the container. I discovered that just because the box or the can looked bigger did not mean it had more in it. I've noticed that the latest practice with food manufactures is to keep the size of the container and the price the same, but reduce the amount of product inside of the container. Have you noticed that some cans are no longer 15 1/2 oz or 16 oz, but are now down to 14 oz. Same with cardboard containers, especially cereal. The box is the same size, but the amount is less.
Came across an article today just about that very thing. It seems McCormick is doing the same thing.

Eating Healthy But Not Seeing Results?
This Could Be Why (+ 5 Simple Fixes)
By
Ty Bollinger
I don’t know about you, but it
really disturbs me to see the growing prevalence of chronic disease in today’s
society. Most Americans − more than 219 million, in fact − are seriously
overweight or obese, and many of them suffer from obesity-related disease.
Sluggishness, fatigue, irritability, and malnourishment are all-too-common
characteristics of modern living. Many people, despite their best efforts at
eating healthy and trying to live healthier lives… just aren’t seeing the
results they expect.
It’s a dire situation, and one
that perhaps you yourself are facing. Maybe you’ve started to pack on a few
extra pounds and are wondering to yourself, why isn’t this working? Believe it
or not, you can eat the healthiest
foods in the world while exercising regularly and still not see positive results if your body isn’t actually digesting the foods you eat. And by
“digesting” I’m not talking about popping a few Tums or taking an acid-reducer
after a meal.
What Your Food Might Be Missing for Proper Digestion
Every time you eat, your body
initiates a very complex process of breaking down and assimilating your food.
Or at least it’s supposed to.
Unbeknownst to many, this important digestive domino effect often isn’t working
as it should. This is why too many folks experience indigestion, acid reflux,
flatulence, bloating, and other symptoms of poor digestion after they eat. Even
worse is that, over time, these symptoms can turn really ugly − morphing
into conditions like Crohn’s disease and even cancer.
In many cases, the missing
piece that causes all of this are enzymes. Or more specifically, a lack of
digestive enzymes. Enzymes are the
energetic catalysts that turn food into usable nutrients, and
yet they’re also some of the most delicate components of food − easily
destroyed by heating, processing, and pasteurization. Most of the foods that
people eat today are grossly deficient in enzymes, which means their bodies are
having to work overtime to compensate.
So… what are some solutions?
Here are five things you can do that can make a world of difference to
your digestive health and make your efforts at eating healthy much more
productive.

RED ONIONS HELP FIGHT CANCER? READ THE ARTICLE
Health Benefits of Red Onion: 4 Ways Red Onions Reduce Your Cancer Risk
By Dr. David Jockers DC, MS, CSCS
The use of onions for medicinal treatment of illnesses related to bacteria, viruses, fungus, and chronic disease dates back to Egyptian healing practices recorded centuries ago. However, red onions deserve special attention because they are one of the best sources of cancer-fighting nutrients that are limited in the modern American diet.
Today researchers believe that up to 40% of cancers are preventable with a change in dietary habits alone. The compounds and dietary nutrients found in red onion are associated with a decrease risk in developing prostate, colorectal, stomach, and numerous other cancers.
Read on to learn what makes red onions so effective at improving health and how they can help reduce your cancer risks.
What are Red Onions?
Thoughts of their distinctive odor and teary eyes probably comes to mind when you think of slicing into an onion, but how about red onions? Red onions are different than other varieties of onion such as the sweet Vidalia onion and the milder flavor white onion.
Aside from their flavor and color, red onions won’t make you cry and they also contain different compounds that can inhibit cancer growth. They are part of the collective family of flowering plants belonging to the allium family, known for their rich content in sulfur containing amino acids. This vegetable family has been extensively studied for its protection against degenerative diseases like cancer.
