America's Test Kitchen Radiogram - April 19, 2014 - drshawnie@gmail.com - Gmail

America's Test Kitchen Radiogram - April 19, 2014 - drshawnie@gmail.com - Gmail: " Junk Food Engineering: Why Food Companies Weaponize Sugar, Salt, and Fat"

Did you know that Cargill has more than 40 different types of salt, each one designed for a specific application, most of them used in the production of processed foods? In the big money world of junk food engineering, nothing is left to chance. Finding the perfect balance of sugar, salt, and fat results in consumers finding the “bliss point,” the perfect junk food that makes you want to come back for more. To achieve this culinary home run, big food companies use everything from food chemistry to brain scans to turn a new product into a $100 million business. There is nothing random about Cheetos.

FDA OKs Oralair, First US Sublingual Allergy Immunotherapy

FDA OKs Oralair, First US Sublingual Allergy Immunotherapy:

"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Oralair (Stallergenes, Inc), the first sublingual immunotherapy in the United States to treat multiple grass pollens.

The drug is indicated for the treatment of persons aged 10 to 65 years with grass pollen–induced allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis, confirmed by positive skin test or in vitro testing for pollen-specific immunoglobulin E antibodies for any of five grass species: sweet vernal, orchard, perennial rye, timothy, and Kentucky blue grass."



Prevention is the best medicine when faced w/ allergy issues.

Helpful tactics I Rx in my chiropractic clinic:

Implementing the deflame diet to reduce inflammation in the body overall.

Saline lavage the sinuses 3 times per day.

Air purifier in the bedroom.

Use of air filters for reducing allergens in the home

If you exercise outdoors then choose the time of day w/ lowest pollen count.

Shower post outdoor activities to remove pollen.
