My 10 month old just ate cereal with honey in it?
my husband is watching my son because i am very sick with the flu & am trying to stay as far away from them both so they won't get sick. i came downstairs to get some water & my husband had been giving him a cereal from kashi that had honey in it. my husband didnt know they weren't supposed to have honey. i tried calling his pediatrician but they are all rude, put me on hold for over an hour & then i was hung up on. he JUST had the cereal so he doesn't have any symptoms of botulism but i am very concerned. i am wondering if i should be extremely stressed out & take him to the emergency room or if i should not be worried. please no rude comments pertaining to my husband- he didn't know.
Is unbleached, unprocessed "raw" sugar better for you than white sugar?
No, sugar is the biggest killer, no matter what. It has no nutritional advantage, it is simply 4 times as costly. The truth is, if the cane lobby didn't manipulate the FDA, we would have labeling that showed that one bowl of cereal or one cola had 1000% of your MDR of sugar, assuming we needed ANY. You dont need any added sugar in that the typical diet already has more than enough in what is converted from potato, and if you eat any fruit or fruit juice, you have more than enough natural fructise sugar without adding processed sugar. If you eat catsup with your fries, you already had enough added sugar. The average American consumes more than 22 teaspoons of sugar per day. NONE IS NEEDED. Anything over a few teaspoons (half of a soda) is going to lead to cumulative weight gain of several pounds per year and heart disease, and could also lead to diabetes, fungal infections, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, hypoglycemia, acne, depression, yeast infections, and cancer.
I heard that hot cheetos or chips like that contains a bit of rat feces?
All the other answers are correct - it's allowable in all foods. But it's really nothing to get so grossed out over. The rat feces and insect fragments are probably far more natural than whatever ingredients your hot cheetos are made of. People have been ingesting things like this since people existed. Before we had pesticides to spray all over our crops, we would often find worms (or half a worm) in our fruits, dirt on our vegetables, etc, etc. In fact, things like this are good for you as they are a source of B vitamins and the bacteria can strengthen your immune system.
Is it true that the average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it?
Do you really want to know?The answer is no, but only because your request is so specific. The fact is that insect fragments (including but not limited to legs) are found in pretty much everything. It is so difficult (read "impossible") to make foods completely insect-free that groups like the USA's Food and Drug Administration publish "Food Defect Levels," which state the maximum allowable number of contaminants like insect fragments or rat hairs allowed in a product for it to be legally sold in the US and have no effect on consumers. Here, see for yourself: http://www.fda.gov/food/guidance... The actual averages are going to be less than the numbers given in the list, since the list is the worst case scenario above which the food cannot be sold. Still, the maximum allowable number of insect fragments per 100g of chocolate is 90, or an average of 60 if one is examining several 100g samples. So 8 legs is probably an understatement!But what do you care? Insects are edible. They can't be worse than the sugar and fat that's supposed to be in the chocolate anyway!
Is there really there really rat droppings in cereal?
No, there isn't. People just say to put raisins in rat's litter boxes to help train them to go there, since raisins look similar to their feces.
Best Recommended hormone free HCG drops?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission issued seven warning letters on Tuesday December 6, 2011 to companies that sell the over-the-counter products, noting they have not been approved by the FDA for weight loss. The drops do not contain hcg hormone but similar synthetic peptide amino acids. This is the first step in terminating the sale of the ineffective drops. Finally the Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to stop these possibly harmful products. Anyone that lost weight on the diet protocol only did because they were eating 500 calories a day and in starvation mode. The drops legally cannot contain any real hcg anyway. Most conscientious pharmacies have already pulled them from the shelves and others are selling down. The side effects of the hcg diet protocol are the side effects of malnutrition. These include headache, hair loss, interruption of menstrual cycles, fatigue, feeling lightheaded, disorientation, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Something to think about. One of the side effects of properly using the hcg injections to increase fertility is weight gain. So how can the hormone cause weight loss other than malnutrition? I know you hate to hear it but a healthy diet and exercise work every time. http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/P...
