Which type of food was reported unhealthy in 1993 by the center for science in the public interest?
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) issued a report in 1993 claiming that Chinese food was was very unhealthful. It has subsequently issued reports on a wide variety of food items and cuisines that it considers undesirable to consume.
Are there any side effects with preservatives?
According to CSPI, some food preservatives may encourage the growth of tumors. The Center for Science in the Public Interest was founded by Dr. Michael Jacobson and two other scientists with the purpose to educate the public about food safety and to advocate for policy changes related to food. They state that BHA, a food preservative commonly added to cereals and potato chips, has been shown to cause tumors in rats, rabbits and hamsters. While it has not been scientifically proven to cause tumors in humans, CSPI states that there is a strong correlation to the effects in humans when a chemical causes problems in three different species. Sodium nitrite is another food preservative which is most commonly used in maintaining the stability of cured fish and meats, like deli slices. The University of Minnesota Extension found that while sodium nitrite is useful in preserving meats, under certain circumstances, such as cooking meat at a high temperature, sodium nitrite may create cancer-causing substance called nitrosamine. It is not currently known to what temperature meats need to be heated to in order for nitrosamine to be created, or why nitrosamine is sometimes created by products with sodium nitrite .
What is red 40 lake?
Red 40 Lake is an insoluble food coloring found in foods, candies, drinks and more. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban artificial food dyes. Studies have shown that dyes cause hyperactivity in some children. Food dyes have been suspected of causing behavior problems since the 1970s when Dr. Ben Feingold, a San Francisco allergist, took his patients off food colorings, the basis for the Feingold Diet. Their behavior improved, he reported. Other studies have followed, most recently, two funded by the British government found that dyes and the preservative, sodium benzoate, adversely affected kids’ behavior. That has largely led to a push in the United Kingdom (UK) to have artificial colorings removed from foods. Mars Inc. uses natural colorings in their popular Starburst and Skittles candy. McDonald’s has removed artificial food dyes from their strawberry shakes and ice cream sundaes in the UK. In Britain, McDonald’s strawberry sauce color for sundaes comes from strawberries. In the U.S., it comes from Red dye #40.
Is phosphoric acid good for digestion?
Tertiatiary sodium phosphate which is found in household detergent and water softener. Not directly to humans but it has harmful effects to the environment. Wastewater from laundering agents containing phosphate is known to be a water pollutant because phosphate is a primary nutrient of algae.
What you sthe difference between multiprocessor and multicomputer?
: multicomputer-- A computer made up of several computers. The term generally refers to an architecture in which each processor has its own memory rather than multiple processors with a shared memory. Something similar to parallel computing. Distributed computing deals with hardware and software systems containing more than one processing element or storage element, concurrent processes, or multiple programs, running under a loosely or tightly controlled regime. A multicomputer may be considered to be either a loosely coupled NUMA computer or a tightly coupled cluster. Multicomputers are commonly used when strong computer power is required in an environment with restricted physical space or electrical power. Common suppliers include Mercury Computer Systems, CSPI, and SKY Computers. Common uses include 3D medical imaging devices and mobile radar. In distributed computing a program is split up into parts that run simultaneously on multiple computers communicating over a network. Distributed computing is a form of parallel computing, but parallel computing is most commonly used to describe program parts running simultaneously on multiple processors in the same computer. Both types of processing require dividing a program into parts that can run simultaneously, but distributed programs often must deal with heterogeneous environments, network links of varying latencies, and unpredictable failures in the network or the computers. multiprocessor-- A multiprocessor system is simply a computer that has more than one CPU on its motherboard. If the operating system is built to take advantage of this, it can run different processes (or different threads belonging to the same process) on different CPUs. Multiprocessing is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) within a single computer system. The term also refers to the ability of a system to support more than one processor and/or the ability to allocate tasks between them.[1] There are many variations on this basic theme, and the definition of multiprocessing can vary with context, mostly as a function of how CPUs are defined (multiple cores on one die, multiple chips in one package, multiple packages in one system unit, etc.).
What are alternatives to Gatorade with less sugar?
The best alternative is water. It keeps your body hydrated well and in doing so keeps your heart pumping better and it is easy to process on the kidneys, pancreas, and liver. Water is the one drink that does not cause cavities, at least as it relates to bottle water, processed/filtered water, and most (not all but surely most) household taps. The Gatorade drinks, Power-ades, and other drinks that scream they are the best because of the so-called "electrolytes" are actually the worst you can put into your body. Low-sugar/no-sugar drinks normally have saccharine or saccharine-like artificial sweeteners, which can cause migraines and in the past it was believed to be a carcinogen. The Center for the Science in Public Interest (CSPI) wrote a report to the National Toxicology Program (NTP) in 1997, claiming that by removing saccharin from the list of possible carcinogens. Sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals (multiple sites in rats and mice) and limited or sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans (bladder cancer). It is prudent that saccharin return to the carcinogen list until there is enough research with conclusive evidence showing saccharin to be safe. FYI: It is important to note that Saccharin is a part of the sulfonamides. If someone were extremely sensitive/allergic to sulfa antibiotics, there is a risk of allergic reaction to consumption of food or drink products that include Saccharin. The list of allergic reactions include but are not limited to: headaches, breathing difficulties, skin eruptions (welt-like hives on the skin), and diarrhea. It is a reasonable belief that the saccharin used in some infant formula products can possibly cause irritability and muscle dysfunction. There is no hard proof of this fact; however, there is documentation to reduce or remove saccharin from the diet for infants, children, and pregnant or nursing mothers. The FDA cannot limit the use of saccharin in formula for infants without the necessary research to prove or disprove the safety or danger of the product for certain. As a mother, I would not be willing to take the risk of including saccharin in the diet of my children or myself especially if I were pregnant or nursing. Besides, saccharin products are a migraine trigger for me so I stay away from it either way. EDIT: For many athletes, drinking too much water can be an issue and although the sugar content is high, it replaces the electrolytes that your body NEEDS. From About.com, "Athletes sweat heavily, losing both water and electrolytes. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes." Maybe Gatorade isn't the ideal drink around the dinner table, but don't worry about the excess sugar when you are using it to recover from exercise or a sporting event.
Can We Talk?
Remember the last time you tackled the all-you-can-eat taco bar or on the greasy spoon's homemade chili extravaganza? Probably everyone around can remember if you can't. Indigestion, gas, and bloating, even diarrhea may have kept you awake all night, and they certainly kept people away from you for a good few hours. We've all been there. Even just one binge on greasy foods can wreck havoc on our digestive systems.It's no surprise that poor dietary habits over time can also trash your digestive tract by destroying good, beneficial bacteria and by allowing other less-desirable bacteria to flourish. One of the best ways to keep our digestive system on track is to eat plenty of wholesome unprocessed foods like fresh raw vegetables, get plenty of natural fiber, and drink fresh pure water.Bacteria BacklashSimply speaking, beneficial bacteria to help build a more balanced digestive tract to absorb nutrients more efficiently. When your ratio of good to other less-desirable bacteria gets out of whack, your chances of uncomfortable digestive issues can increase. New research is suggesting that introducing additional good bacteria into your digestive system through probiotics may help your digestive tract get back on track.Not only will the good bacteria help relieve your occasional feelings of gas, bloating, and indigestion, they go to work boosting your immune system at the same time. Scientific research shows that 80% of your immune system actually lives right in your digestive tract.Are Probiotics a Miracle Cure?There are lots of claims being made about probiotics and research is encouraging. To date, clinical studies have shown that certain probiotics may restore normal bowel function and may help reduce:Diarrhea that is a side effect of antibiotics.Certain types of infectious diarrhea.Inflammation of the ileal pouch (pouchitis) that may occur in people who have had surgery to remove the colon.Other possible benefits of some types of probiotics include treatment of:vaginal infections,tooth decay,H. pylori infection,irritable bowel syndrome,inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.Now What?There are tons of different strains of probiotics and research is still developing. In other words - there's a lot we still don't know. As a general rule, adding probiotics to your daily diet (particularly those added to food products) aren't going to hurt you. But because there are many different types of probiotics, do your homework before buying expensive supplements. Start off with some of the new yogurt on the market that advertises its probiotic additions. You just may find that you're feeling better in no time. (You still need to stay away from taco bars, though!)Put Down the PopsiclesIt's summer and if you have any kids in your life, they are probably clamoring for freezer pops - those cheap plastic frozen tubes of sugar water.I confess, they've found their way into my freezer a couple of times, usually when I've had the bad judgment of taking children to the grocery store with me. After all, they are cheap-sometimes as little as a penny a tube and the kids love them. How bad could they be?We know all about the dangers of getting our kids hooked on sugar, but what about the best part of those frozen concoctions - the color? After all, if the tubes were white, they wouldn't have quite the panache they do now. The problem is that colorful food is potentially dangerous when it gets that way through food dyes. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) recently released a report that says food dyes pose some real risks including everything from allergies to cancer.Healthier AlternativesWhy not make your own popsicles for the kid this summer? It will take some time, but not much, and if you involve them in making it, you get another brownie point from the kiddos. All you need are some inexpensive popsicle molds you can pick up at most discount stores or order online.Fruit SmoothiesIf you have a favorite fruit smoothie recipe, just pour into the molds and freeze. If you're not sure where to start, try this recipe. It's easy - just mix in a blender, then freeze!8 ounces of water1 cup blueberries1 cup strawberries1 handful spinach (optional but try it!)Stevia to tasteFresh FruitUse fresh fruit for some yummy frozen treats. Blended watermelon makes great popsicles either by itself or with a little sugar, lime, and mint. Honeydew, cantaloupe, or musk melon, or a mixture of all three, work great too.Adding yogurt to fruit is another great way to sneak in some nutrition:Two ripe peaches or nectarines, peeled and sliced1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt1/4 cup milkBe CreativeYou can use juice (although think about colors - grape juice is awesome, apple juice looks a lot like frozen urine), canned fruit syrup, applesauce, and pudding. Consider add-ins like sprinkles, leftover jam or jelly, even a gummy bear or two!For the grown-upsYou don't have to be left out. If you're a coffee nut, try freezing some plain old coffee with lots of cream and sugar for a chilly treat. You could even add some hazelnut, vanilla, or chocolate syrup!
