- Healthy Eating - Why Barack Obama Is Like A Scone
By: Liz Copeland | - The US presidential election has, after what seems like forever, finally taken place, and what a year it's been. I'm steering clear of political analysis but one thing that strikes me is that Barack Obama is like a scone.
Before I explain that, think about what has been going on here. Any election is about making a choice - in this case McCain or Obama, which does nothing to reflect the subtlety and richness of human experience, or how we would want that reflected in the electora ...

- Diet - From Big Fat Momma To Hot Sexy Mama
By: Gen Wright | - Lets face it, even with womens rights and movements so vocal about being anti-stereotype, virtually every woman aspires to be model-thin to fit beautifully into that simple yet elegant red sheath dress. Anybody who has been called a big fat momma would either scoff at it or just smirk and shrug it off. Others would even look at it as a comical way of expressing fondness. Consciously or unconsciously, the person at the receiving end of that label could be offended. It is this kind of labellin ...

- Slow Release In Every Sense Of The Words
By: John Scott | - Ultram is marketed in some seventy countries around the world for the treatment of moderate to severe pain in multiple dose format. The simple rule is that the dose should be individualised so that each person takes the smallest dose required to produce the required relief from pain.

After that, the level i ...

The majority of mineral vitamin supplements are made from chemicals rather than natural substances. However, there is a steady growth in the demand for natural mineral vitamin supplements.

- Lack Of Exercise - Sleep Walking To Obesity
By: Jean Shaw | - I have to admit I've put on a considerable amount of weight over the past year and I know why. It's not because I've been eating more, but rather exercising less.
I've been writing another book and my research has had me virtually glued to the chair in front of the computer and only my brain and fingers have been getting a workout.
That's my excuse, but not for much longer as the book is almost done. The stupid thing is I feel really lethargic. I know just a few m ...

The survey found that 80% of 17,000 parents backed the traffic lights food labelling system which offers a simple red, amber and green guide to nutrition. The findings come as the British Medical Association announced its backing for the traffic ...

- Animal Products Used In Alcohols
By: Colin Didcott | - The use of animal derived products in alcohol production is considerably more widespread than most would imagine. Anti-foaming agents, colourants and clarifying processes all make use of animal products in some way or another.
It is not as if there are no real alternatives because there are. The problem lies in the poor information available to consumers and so no demand for a change is well established. One of the main reasons for this quite simply is a clause in the 1984 UK Food ...

- The Problem With Private Label Articles
By: Allan Wilson | - First of all private labelling is nothing new. A lot of our every day materials we use such as paint, food items, drinks, and just about anything else you can think of has had some kind of private labelling history.

- What Are Genetically Modified Foods?
By: Davinos Greeno | - It is difficult to think of another technology that has caused as much debate or concern as that of genetic engineering (GE) with food.
Should patents on plants, animals and humans, as well as patents on their genes be allowed? Our ability to alter the genetic blueprint of animals and plants is in the process of changing many aspects of science and medicine. Many people see this as beneficial others see this as tampering with nature.
But what about genetically-modif ...

By: Smruti Ranjan Sarangi | - A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns.

- Hydrogenated Oils & Trans Fats
By: Mel Richards | - Ever since scientists discovered that they could solidify, or partially solidify, vegetable oil by heating it in the presence of hydrogen and particles of nickel, the food industry has become increasingly dependant on the resulting products; hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Hydrogenated vegetable oils, and therefore the products that they go into, have a longer shelf life and are easier to store and transport than unprocessed vegetable oils. However, at what cost to our ge ...
