What are BPA- Free Canned Goods?

As many of you have read in my previous entry, BPA can cause weight gain, hormonal imbalances and soft muscle tone!! Great news. Several food manufacturers have informed Environmental Working Group that they no longer use BPA-based metal cans. They include Farmer’s Market Foods, Inc., Natural Value, Inc., Amy’s Kitchen, Inc., Euro-USA Trading Co., and Crown Prince, Inc.. Their labels note “BPA-free”.

But some companies, that have switched to BPA-free cans, don’t note this on their cans. Wouldn’t that increase their sales? For instance, S&W Organic Beans were expected to switch to BPA-free cans by May 2013. I checked their labels recently and didn’t see BPA-free on them. So I phoned and emailed them and today they informed me that their “organic” beans are now labelled BPA-free but their conventional beans are still in non-BPA-free cans.

The fact is regulatory measures do not exist to ensure that BPA-free labeling is credible. And some BPA-free canned goods manufacturers do not need to provide proof that their cans are 100% free of BPA! However, a BPA-free label should mean that minimal amounts of BPA will be found in the food. Make a call or email your favorite bean suppliers to be sure. Making just one call – can make a huge difference. Your call can help make our food safer and healthier. BTW: I have done this with many skin and body care manufacturers who used unsafe ingredients, and to date, they have all switched to paraben and phthalate-free products. So one person CAN make a difference! 🙂

Why You Should Never Tweeze Nose Hair 1

This is why you should never tweeze nose hair!

A new strain of staph infection called MRSA is becoming a seriously common bacterial infection. And the shocking news is, MRSA is extremely difficult to treat because it is immune to many antibiotics!

MRSA can show up in lots of different parts of the body including the lungs, intestines, the skin and other organs. Elderly folks can die from MRSA. But I bet you didn’t know that MRSA and staph bacteria are living inside your nose! Our nose hairs are loaded with this bacteria. This is why you should NEVER tweeze nose hairs. Tweezing can cause a MRSA infection to spread into your sinuses and this is extremely difficult to treat.

So, how should you remove nose hairs? First, always wash your face with soap and water so your nose hairs are clean as well. Then, using a pair of small cuticle scissors, a magnifying mirror and good light, simply clip protruding nose hairs. Or pick up a nose trimmer at your local Bed, Bath & Beyond. They’re about $10. Afterward, be sure to wipe your clippers or trimmer with some rubbing alcohol.
