Welcome to the Season Three Finale! In this episode, we're talking rising food prices and global food shortages. It's already happening and we're not out of the COVID-19 weeds yet. There are a variety of reasons why we should be more concerned about these important issues, than some of the other irrelevant stuff we are being distracted by. Countries are hoarding food, the shortening of growing days and extreme weather events have already impacted farmers yields with rice, wheat and corn

Potassium Bromate : Half Baked Bread Madness

Food Slain ·

2020/10/09

I thought it would be a good idea to look into a food most of us eat every day, bread. More specifically though, we're digging into an additive called Potassium Bromate and Azobicarbonomide (ACA). These are chemical additives used to make plastics AND they are used to strengthen flour and bleach dough. Potassium bromate is an additive that is used to accomplish a few things. It helps breads rise higher, it acts as a dough conditioner and it makes baked breads appear lighter in color. Sadly,

2020/10/02

In this episode, I'm speaking with biochemist and researcher, Dr. David Killilea and we're digging into the half truths behind whole grains and whole wheat. His extensive research has revealed that we're not always getting the nutritional density that we think we are getting when we opt for whole grain and whole wheat products. Why is that a problem? Well, the problem is two-fold. First, the marketing behind the promotion of whole wheat and whole grain products is massive, and we're told to

Honey Laundering : Adulterated & Fake

2020/09/25

In this episode, we’re talking about fake honey and honey laundering. And honestly, I wish this wasn’t a thing because in reality, buying adulterated honey is a matter of national food security. There's no doubt, this is a sticky issue. Not just for beekeepers, but for us, as consumers. There are many brands of honey out there, both little known and very well known, that are cut and adulterated with cheap grain and sugar syrups, like sugar cane, corn and rice syrup, and beet sugar.

Tainted Turmeric : A Healthy Spice Gone Wild

2020/09/11

In this episode, we’re talking about the adulteration of one of the most popular spices used around the world, turmeric. Specifically, we’re talking about dried, ground turmeric not the fresh root. This spice is so popular that it has been one of the top selling spices in the world, but it has been adulterated with lead since the 1980's. Crazy, right? And there is NO safe level for lead consumption in the United States, so even with all the snazzy packaging, and the inundation of marketing

As usual, we're digging deep into the food supply chain, and in this episode we're talking about cereal grains and beans, and why both of these foods are being tested and found to contain high levels of glyphosates. Why does this chemical keep showing up in our food supply? The bigger question is, what can we do to stop it from being in our kids' breakfast and in our favorite healthy snacks like hummus?

That's a good question...and there aren't a lot of really good answers but we could draw the conclusion from the research that the only answer is, YES! In this episode, we’re talking about pet food….specifically dog food. If you’re like me, you like animals, and whether you're a dog person, cat person, bird person, fish person and horse person...we love our pets. We love them so much so, that according to a survey done by the American Pet Products Association, we spent $29 billion on pet food

This week's episode is the third installment of the podcast series on food additives. Although Atrazine isn't a food additive in the sense that it is added to our food supply, it is in and on our food, it's in our water and the question is, is it killing more than weeds?

In this episode, we’re talking about seafood, because something fishy is going on and it stinks. This topic was a listener request, so thank you for participating in the discussion and requesting an episode on seafood so that we can dissect what’s going on in our seafood supply chain and dig into what the heck is in the food on our tables. A lot of seafood is imported into the U.S., and a large percentage of it is "farm raised", which is not only big business but it's also toxic to our

The impacts of sugarcane production on our health (especially our children), our environment and our economy are startling.
