Rice not only contains a lot of sugar, recent studies show that the popular food contains a high level of arsenic too. Arsenic occurs naturally in soil, and inorganic arsenic is classified as a category one carcinogen by the European Union, meaning that it's known to cause cancer in humans. Rice tends to take up more arsenic from the environment than other cereal crops. It has around 10 - 20 times more arsenic than other cereal crops. This is because it is grown in flooded conditions which make it much easier for arsenic to leave the soil and enter the rice. Additional Information:

• Toddlers and young children (ages 1 to 4.5 years) should not be given rice drinks as a substitute for breast milk, infant formula or cows' milk
• Growing rice organically doesn't make a difference to levels
• Brown rice usually contains more arsenic than white rice (because of the husk)
• Basmati rice contains lower levels than other rice
• Rice cakes and crackers can contain levels higher than in cooked rice.
• The levels of arsenic found in rice milk far exceed the amounts that would be allowed in drinking water

Recommendation: Children up to 5 years should not eat more than 30 g of rice/day Adults should not eat more than 100 g of rice/day Soak the rice overnight before cooking it in a 5:1 water-to-rice ratio can cut arsenic levels by about 80%

A study recently published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) shows alarming results: Palm oil in food can be carcinogenic and can alter the genetic material! The dangerous substance is known as glycidyl ester. Glycidyl ester can be produced during the production of the palm oil: Precursors of the dangerous substance can develop already during the harvest of the palm fruits or during transport by unsanet treatment. However, the greatest pollutant load can be caused by the refining process, since palm oil is usually heated above 200°C. The heating is necessary to neutralize the red color of the oil and its unpleasant odor. The glycidyl ester accumulates in the oil. Palm oil is found in most industrially produced foods because it's the cheapest oil around. A study initiated by Marktcheck found alarming high values of glycidyl ester in biscuits from OREO and crackers from TUC.

According to Dr. Sutat Duangdeeden, the head of the Chonburi Cancer Hospital, Thai people's love of Som Tam is leading to higher cancer rates and deaths.

In 2012 a Canadian research group led by David Spence from Western University found that deposits in the arterial walls are accelerated by frequent consumption of egg yolks. The cholesterol contained in eggs can even clog the throat lines leading to the brain, which increases the risk of stroke, the scientists said. But recent investigations are questening the results of the Canadians. Healthy people even can enjoy several eggs per day without running in any problems, the results of the latest analyses show. However, restrictions apply for type 2 diabetics. If blood levels are poorly adjusted, cholesterol crystallization may occur when eggs are consumed. Also, if your LDL cholesterol value is above 200 you shouldn't eat more than three eggs a week. If too much LDL cholesterol is present in the blood, it deposits on the vessel walls. You will get inflammatory swellings on the vascular walls, the so-called atherosclerotic plaques. Nevertheless, yolks from free-ranging chickens contain a lot of healthy Omega-3 fatty acid. Losing weight, making sport and stop smoking is still the best recipe for a healthy life.

The chemical composition of an oil determines its usability and its quality. The latest research shows that an optimal balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats is crucial to our health. We all know that Americans as well as some other Westerners are eating very unhealthy. Their Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio is 1:16! A healthy ratio would be 2:1 to 4:1!

The above graphic shows that coconut oil is the perfect oil for frying, deep-frying and baking. It contains almost no Omega-6 but has a high smoke point. For salads you should choose Flaxseed Oil over Olive Oils. Flaxseed Oils have an almost perfect Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio of 3.2 : 1. The Graph shows that the heavily advertised and so called 'healthy' Olive Oil contains much too much of Omega-6 fatty acids. Olive Oil's Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio is an unhealthy 1 : 9! Moreover, recent tests of 50 olive oils by the reputable Deutsche Warentest Institut showed that only one olive oil provided the expected quality, the remaining 49 oils couldn't get a recommendation from the vendor independed institut. They all had significant deficiencies in quality. Note: Most olive oils are healthy only for their producers and distributors.

Walnuts not only taste great but are a rich source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and an excellent source of those hard to find omega-3 fatty acids.

Cashews are an excellent source of copper and a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and zinc.

Hazelnuts are a very good source of copper as well as a good source of manganese, folate, vitamin E, phosphorus, vitamin B-6, vitamine K, thiamine, magnesium, zinc, potasium and the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Peanuts are a very good source of copper as well as a good source of manganese, niacin, molybdenum, folate, vitamin E, phosphorus, vitamin B1, protein and the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Scientists from the Weizmann Institute compared two kinds of bread viewed as being on opposite ends of the health spectrum. One was industrial white bread made from refined wheat and considered less healthy. The other was sourdough-leavened bread made in an artisanal bakery from freshly stone-milled whole grain wheat flour and baked in a stone hearth oven: It was prepared specially for the study and was assumed to possess superior properties. During the study the scientists divided the participants into two groups and asked to consume large quantities of bread (supplying about a quarter of their caloric intake) for a week. One group ate the white bread, and the other, the healthy sourdough bread. After a two-week break, they switched, and for a week the group that had previously eaten white bread ate the sourdough bread, and vice versa. Tests revealed that eating bread of any kind affected the blood levels of sugar, minerals, liver enzymes and other substances. But when the scientists compared the effects of the two types of bread, they were surprised. We were sure that the sourdough bread would come out a healthier choice, but much to our surprise, we found no difference between the health effects of the two types of bread, says Prof. Eran Segal of Weizmann Institute's Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Department. The study showed, for example, that about half of the participants had higher blood sugar levels after eating white bread, whereas the other half had higher blood sugar after eating sourdough bread. It seems that the body's response to bread is a highly personal matter. It works like the placebo effect: If you believe that sourdough bread is better for you, it will be better for you - but not healthier.
