Kids in carseats eat synthetic stuff

Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment, Nutrition & Supplements

Why is it that food products contain artificial lemon flavoring but household products are made with real lemons?

Why do people protect their babies and kids by putting them in car seats and then feed them food with synthetics and chemicals?

If grocery stores have aisles labeled "Health Food," are the other aisles stocked with un-health food?

A post on the blog Whole Food and More raises these thought-provoking questions and a few others too. Check them all out here and see what sorts of answers you come up with. Or come up with your own "these-don't-make-sense" food thoughts and tell the Whole Food crew what you think. Tell us too.

Health problems detected with sniffing device

Reviews & Products

We now have news out on another small device for diagnosis health issues: this one uses sniffing to detect health problems varying from Alzheimers to a deviated septum.

The idea is that the sense of smell is one of the most delicate of senses and may act as a sort of "canary in the mine" to give early warnings of impending or already existing issues. By measuring how deeply a person sniffs when smelling a scent or odor experts can determine if their sense of smell is impaired or not, and then find out why if it is.

I hope I'm not asked to take this test anytime soon because the smells they use include ripe cheese mixed with rancid meat, burning mixed with skunk scent, and then (a sigh of relief for participants) bananas.
