The Dirty Dozen: 12 Foods You Should Always Buy Organic
The Environmental Working Group released its 2015 report on pesticide residue in fruits and vegetables on Wednesday.
February 25, 2015
By Willy Blackmore
Willy Blackmore is TakePart’s Food editor.
When it comes to buying fruit, comparing organic with conventionally grown options can be like apples and oranges—even when all you’re trying to buy is apples.
A pound of apples costs roughly between $1 and $1.50, according to the most recent data from the USDA. If you want to go organic, you’ll pay about $1 more per pound.
You could make a case for the apples being worth more, however, because you’re buying a not insignificant amount of pesticides with that fruit, according to analysis of government data by the Environmental Working Group. In the latest iteration of the Dirty Dozen, released Wednesday, apples once again topped the list of the 12 fruits and vegetables (well, 14, really) that retain the highest amount of pesticides and other toxic agricultural chemicals.
According to the accompanying report, two-thirds of the more than 3,000 produce samples analyzed by the USDA tested positive for pesticide residue. A study published earlier this month by the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that eating organic reduced people’s exposure to pesticides—but that even sticking to an all-organic diet could still result in some pesticide intake. Chemicals used in agriculture can have severe health effects on agricultural workers, and there are concerns that low-level, long-term exposure could contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and autism.
So if you’re a budget-conscious shopper—and who isn’t, really?—but aren’t looking for a good deal on some value-added pesticides, that extra dollar per pound for apples is well spent. The same goes for peaches, nectarines, strawberries. and grapes, which round out the top five. And the consumer-friendly guide will show you where to make up for your more expensive organic purchases with the Clean Fifteen, a list of those items that bear the least amount of residue. Avocados, which top the less toxic list, are nearly pesticide-free even when conventionally grown; just 1 percent of the fruit sampled showed remnants of farming chemicals.
“We are saying, eat your fruits and vegetables,” Sonya Lunder, EWG’s senior analyst, said in a statement. “But know which ones have the highest amounts of pesticides so you can opt for the organic versions, if available and affordable, or grab a snack off the Clean Fifteen.”

Why Dehydration Is Making You Fat And Sick
Digestive, skin, bladder and kidney problems, fatigue and headache are just some of the adverse effects from not drinking enough water. We need it as much as air we breathe in! It’s not a joke.
Did you know that when you start feeling thristy your body is already dehydrated? The best practice is to sip water throughout a day. Have it always handy!
If you’re not a morning person, have two glasses of water right after you wake up. It will boost up your blood pressure to normal levels, and it’s way healthier than having your first coffee on an empty stomach.
Also, don’t think that sweetened juices, soda or tea will hydrate you as well as water does. It’s actually the opposite! Sugar, as well as salt, makes your body waste precious water just to clean it out from your system. And if you love your coffee, make sure to drink one extra glass of water for every cup you have.
And as an added bonus, drinking water speeds up your metabolism and makes you feel more ‘full’. You will eat less once you start drinking more! It’s the safest and healthiest way to loose some weight.

According to research recently conducted at Emory University in Atlanta, adherence to the Paleo Diet may significantly slash colorectal cancer rates.1 For their study, published online last month in the American Journal of Epidemiology, researchers examined the dietary habits of 2,301 men and women, 30 to 74 years old. Participants were categorized based on how closely their diets resembled the Paleo Diet. Overall, 564 participants developed colorectal adenoma, a benign tumor of the colon or rectum. Scientists classify colorectal adenoma as a precursor to colorectal cancer.2 For women with diets most closely resembling the Paleo Diet, tumor rates fell 29 percent compared to control groups. For men, Paleo Diet benefits were even more pronounced, with tumor rates falling 51 percent.
For those who study and follow the Paleo lifestyle, these results are hardly surprising. As the Paleo Diet becomes increasingly popular, however, it’s also more frequently misrepresented. Just last week, for example, Janet Helm of US News & World Report wrote about Paleo, “I don’t support this restrictive, meat-heavy diet that bans so many nutritious foods, such as dairy, grains and beans.”3 The Paleo Diet, of course, includes healthy animal foods, but disparagingly calling it “meat-heavy,” ignores the fact that it’s very vegetable-heavy. Could the Paleo Diet’s high vegetable level explain its protective effects against colorectal cancer?
Vegetables, of course, contain fiber and Western diets contain far less fiber than those of our Paleolithic ancestors. Whereas mean daily fiber intakes in the US range from 10 to 18 grams, our Paleolithic ancestors consumed upwards of 100 grams daily.4, 5 Some 40 years ago, an Irish surgeon named Denis Burkitt introduced the theory that increased consumption of dietary fiber decreases colorectal cancer risks.6 Burkitt’s theory gained traction and was eventually accepted as common knowledge, but a number of cohort studies and randomized controlled trials in recent decades have strongly challenged his contention.7 Although many prominent institutions, including the Harvard School of Public Health, no longer accept Burkitt’s theory, it may be premature to conclude that fiber consumption and colorectal cancer are unrelated.8
In an article published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, anthropologist Jeff Leach points out that fiber levels in studies challenging Burkitt’s theory, even for participants in the uppermost quintiles, are still far below evolutionary standards.9 We should also acknowledge fiber’s beneficial effects with respect to gut microbiome health. Increased fiber consumption promotes decreased intestinal inflammation, decreased body weight, and decreased obesity-induced chronic inflammation.10 While the causes of colorectal cancer are not entirely known, the Mayo Clinic lists inflammatory intestinal conditions, insulin resistance, obesity, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and sedentary lifestyle all as factors that may increase colorectal cancer risks.11
So what does this new research associating the Paleo Diet with decreased colorectal cancer really tell us? Does the Paleo Diet’s vegetable-heavy, and thus fiber-heavy, aspect account for this benefit? We cannot say so definitively. We can say, however, that the Paleo Diet is more than just a diet. It’s a lifestyle that promotes wellness and prevents disease. Most diseases, especially cancer, have multiple roots, the combination of which eventually grows into disease. This recent research is a testament to the holistic nature of the Paleo Diet and Paleo lifestyle, encompassing many informed decisions, which likely collectively protect against colorectal cancer.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
07/29/2013
There is No Maybe
By Jim Smith
Earlier this year, it was announced that Arnold was accepting
a position at Muscle & Fitness and FLEX magazines as their
new executive editor. I started considering why Arnold would
take on this new role, especially with his hectic work schedule.
I didn’t have to think about it long before it came to me; he was
reconnecting with his passion.
Fitness and bodybuilding have given Arnold passion, direction,
belief in himself, and strength of body and mind. Ultimately,
Arnold had a blueprint for his life that was fueled by his early
struggles and early successes.
In fact, Arnold’s successes in life – bodybuilding, movies, and
politics – were all driven by the power of his mind. He believed
in himself when no one else did. He did another repetition in the
gym, when the pain caused others to quit. He took acting and
speech classes when everyone said he couldn’t make it. He set
goals, hit them, and kept driving forward.
Where Did the Passion Go?
Deep down, it is passion that drives all of us. Or at least, it used
to drive us, when things were much simpler. As a child, our
possibilities seemed endless and there was no limit to our dreams.
We marveled at every new experience and we gave freely with
our hearts. We had passion for all things.
We could be and do anything we wanted.
But reality smacked us in the face and kept the pressure on as
we moved into adulthood and all of the responsibilities that come
with it. Our belief systems changed, subtlety, and without us
knowing it.
We substituted passion with ‘safe and practical.’ We bought
things and got jobs to pay for them. We got comfortable in the
daily grind of our 9-5 jobs because it was secure. We forgot
about that child and their hopes and dreams.
We grew ‘comfortably numb.’
We became afraid of the unpredictable and found security in
repetition. We became cynical and angry with those who
seemed happy all the time and chalked it up to their naivety.
We turned inward and became selfish.
We began to only think of our needs and wants because satisfying
them gave us temporary relief from our current situation.
We silenced that child inside of us, too afraid – like Bukowski’s
Bluebird – to show weakness and expose our true selves.
But all is not lost. There is hope. There is always hope.
Real strength can come from being honest with yourself and
stating the truth. The strength needed to change your life – in an instant.
We can rekindle that passion again; we just have to break the pattern.
Pattern Interrupt
The amazing thing about your life is that you can change it literally
overnight just by changing how you perceive experiences and by
developing a relentless mindset.
You can wake up and say, “Today I will be different.” You can decide
that things are going to change and you are going to be the person
you always wanted to be; no matter how many obstacles you have to overcome.
You can say:
Today, I will replace “maybe” with I can, I will.
Today, fear will not drive my actions.
Today, I will listen to others and show kindness to strangers.
Today, I will quit complaining about my job, my car, others’ actions –
and I will focus on myself and what I need to do to make my life better.
Today, I will set goals and work toward them relentlessly.
Situations happen to everyone every day. Our perception of these
situations determines if they are good or bad, positive or negative,
opportunities or obstacles.
We can reframe any experience that we initially identify as an obstacle
into an opportunity and use this opportunity to keep driving forward.
Maybe it wasn’t the path you imagined, but you have to keep moving.
Creating a new and positive mindset can change everything.
Champion of Your Life
To illustrate this point, let me tell you a story.
I found an interview where Arnold was reminiscing about doing
seminars all over California at prisons and institutions, talking
about what it takes to become a champion. When he asked the
attendees what they wanted to do with their life, someone would
inevitably answer, “Someday, maybe I could pursue (insert goal here).”
Arnold’s response?
“There is no maybe.”
Arnold continued, “You have to get up and say, ‘I want to be a
champion and I will do whatever it takes.’ You have to create a
goal and go after it. If you don’t see it and you don’t believe it,
who else will?”
“You have to visualize and that creates the will.”
In my experience, if you give yourself this ‘out’ by thinking ‘maybe’,
then you’ll never make it. Trust me, if you think maybe you can
do something, a lot of doors open up to quit when things get hard.
Maybe is not going to cut it when the only time you can work on
your passion is after your 9-5 job is done for the day and you’re
tired as hell. Yes, for now, if you want to change your life, you are
going to have to continue to work at the job you have while you
work on your passion during your free time. And when you’ve
built up your passion and eliminated the excess in your life, then
you can move to your passion full time.
I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, I’m telling you it is going
to be worth it.
Rest assured, when you are absolutely sure of yourself and
where you want to go, you will not let anything stand in your way.
You can become the champion of your life by living like there
is no tomorrow.
The time is now.

Cinnamon and Honey
It is found that a mix of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also note honey as very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects which is also a plus.
Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, put it on toast instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol and could potentially save one from heart attack. Also, even if you have already had an attack studies show you could be kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of cinnamon honey strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients can benefit by taking one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken daily even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain — and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder….who knew?
CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol could be cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses, and it’s delicious too!
UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also is said to clear stomach ulcers from its root.
GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that when Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacterial and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals
INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ‘Ingredient’ which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of boiling water to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
RASPY OR SORE THROAT: When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone. Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.
PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water. When done daily for two weeks, it removes all pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS: Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin Infections.
WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning one half hour before
breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month.
FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases within a week.
BAD BREATH: People of South America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.
HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Aspartame has changed the name to AminoSweet!
It is now being marketed as a Natural Sweetener… YIKES!
“Despite the evidence gained over the years showing that aspartame is a dangerous toxin, it has remained on the global market. It cont
inues to gain approval for use in new types of food despite evidence showing that it causes neurological brain damage, cancerous tumors, and endocrine disruption, among other things.”
But don’t worry… with a nice new sounding name if you or your child happens to be allergic to Aspartame, don’t take it personally… it’s just business! (the never ending Dirty Business of food product deception). You really must read this and let everyone know… for heath’s sake!
