IRRADIATION

Food manufactures are permitted to irradiate potatoes and onions to inhibit sprouting; wheat flour to control insects; and ground spices and dehydrated seasonings to reduce microbial content. In 2005 The European Civil Society released a statement against irradiation stating, "Food irradiation is often used as a substitute for good sanitary practices and misleads consumers, as it kills spoilage bacteria, which tells people when food is rotten through smell or sight"

"The American and Canadian public is justifiably concerned over the unknown effects of irradiation food." Rosalie Bertell, PhD.

Where possible we should buy locally -grown foods. As a rule your food is fresher, better flavour, picked within a day of your purchase. Local produce more likely has a higher nutrient content than store-bought produce that has spent time on a transport truck and warehouse. Further farmers who sell directly to local customers receive the full value for their product, can sell cheaper, as there is less cost to processing, transportation, packing, warehouse etc.

RECALL ALERTS

Have you unsafe products in your home? Check out items that have been recalled by manufactures in cooperation with U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission. You can check by phone: 800-638-2772 or Visit: http://www.cpsc.gov.

Remember, when it comes to recalls, health, food, the same information applies to both USA and Canada, as a rule. Check both government sites for above.

THE FREECYLE NETWORK

Do you have stuff you no longer have use for and want to get rid
of? If you haven't got time for garage sales, or eBay-you need to check out "The Freecyle Network".

Founded in 2003, the network has more then 1.7 million members
in 3,100 Communities in over 50 countries. The only rules around what can be exchanged, or offered free is that it be legal, for any age group. There is a good chance of a
listing from your city.

BAR MIXES

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the
risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk drivers cause many fatal road accidents. It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a
potential hazard. Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as
the brain, heart, and liver.
