Salad Mixture, 1817

* 2 cups of white wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons of salt
* 3 egg yolks
* 1.5 tablespoons of mustard
* 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil

(I would exclude eggs & oil, trying one of these thickeners instead.)

Combine the vinegar with the salt and bring to a simmer, removing any scum that may appear if any. Separately in a bowl run your egg yolks through a fine sieve. To this add the mustard and olive oil. Mix together very well. After allowing the vinegar to simmer for 10 minutes, reduce your heat to low then pour in the above prepared egg, mustard and oil mixture. Stir frequently till it is the consistency of cream. Remove from your heat and bottle up once cold. Be sure to give it a good stir or shake when you are ready to enjoy it, as like most oil and vinegar dressings it does separate.

It’s official; there are now more fat people than skinny people in the world. Obesity is the biggest health crisis on the planet. For the first time in history children are facing shorter lives than their parents.

Over the last 35 years, obesity rates have more than doubled, leading to a massive and rapid increase in heart disease, kidney problems, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. How did we go from obesity rates of 9% to 30% in less than a generation?

Presented by overweight and diabetic Chef Simon Gault, these documentary examines the science behind a re-examination of traditionally accepted health advice, and the emergence of new evidence that at last makes sense of the looming health problems we face.

Gault talks to experts from around the world and allows himself to be a human guinea-pig in an attempt to improve his own health.

Plastics found in three different parts of the heart included poly(methyl methacrylate), a plastic commonly used as a shatter-resistant alternative to glass. These particles, researchers said, “’cannot be attributed to accidental exposure during surgery.

Polyethylene terephthalate, which is used in clothing and food containers, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is widespread in window frames, drainage pipes, paint and more, were also found. 

“The detection of in vivo MPs [microplastics] is alarming, and more studies are necessary to investigate how the MPs enter the cardiac tissues and the potential effects of MPs [microplastics] on long-term prognosis after cardiac surgery,” the research team concluded.

Last year, a study suggested that humans consume about 5 grams of small plastic particles every week, or roughly the weight of your credit card.

Plastering front-of-package nutrient claims on cereal boxes is an attempt to distract from the incongruity of feeding our children multicolored marshmallows for breakfast.

I was invited to testify as an expert witness in a case against sugary cereal companies (donating my fee, of course), and this extended video series is a result of some of the research I did into those cases. Here are some of the others:

DRINK MORE WATER…

Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, published a study titled “Sugar-Sweetened and Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Risk of Liver Cancer and Chronic Liver Disease Mortality” in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday, explaining a possible link between the regular consumption of sweetened drinks and death due to liver cancer. The study involved nearly 100,000 postmenopausal women followed for a median of twenty years.

The only answer to fix saggy muscles, bad posture, and soreness after sitting is weight training,’ she said.

‘Your body requires regular maintenance for optimal health. It’s especially important to build and maintain strong muscles, as one’s risk of bone loss and fractures increases with age.’

You can build new muscle tissue by performing resistance training and getting a sufficient amount of protein and nutrients.

[Cmmt: protein does not need to be animal-derived.]
