2009-10-24 How, and how not, to diagnose a food allergy - The Checkup -

I developed numerous food sensitivities as an adult. According to allergists who practiced "conventional" medicine, I had no allergies because blood tests and scratch tests came up negative. This despite the fact that food reactions included shortness of breath, hives, increased heart rate, dizzyness, facial swelling, and on several occasions, anaphylaxis, which ended up in trips to the emergency room. I fortunately consulated a naturopath who ordered IgG testing (much hated by conventional doctors). Sure enough, I showed sensitivities to gluten, dairy, and eggs. I have removed them from my diet and no longer have reactions. I encourage your audience to seek alternative medicine practioners for allergies.

2009-10-12 A quest to reinvent the lethal Scottish diet

Its the puzzling paradox: Farmers struggle to survive yet have been stocking the U. K. s and Europes larders for decades, while people at home get the lard, a diet heavy on meat, fats, salt, sugar and processed food. Nurtured on this, Scots have developed a near allergy to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Again, the industry representatives balked, and the final policy stresses education and labelling to improve food choices. "If education is the main thrust," said Anderson, "were going nowhere. Weve had excellent health education, but it hasnt changed the Scottish diet. "

It means shopping for salmon and canned light tuna, said Somer, a registered dietitian whos a frequent guest expert on the "Today" show, "The View" and in various health-oriented magazines. She was in the Twin Cities recently to talk about nutritional trends at a forum for food industry professionals sponsored by Carmichael Lynch Spong.

Theres a growing array of foods fortified with DHA, from soy milks to flour tortillas, which points to another trend on the nutrition front. "Seventy-eight percent of shoppers buy some fortified foods," Somer said, whether something as mainstream as Total cereal or more gourmet, such as Fujisan-brand sushi. This plays into the trend of do-it-yourself alternative health care -- something that began when yogurt was considered hippie food. Now, she said, yogurt is at the forefront of products that may improve the gastrointestinal health.

2009-10-07 Myths About Diabetes and Diet Persist LiveScience

Diabetics need to plan out a diet dominated by foods with a low glycemic index. They can treat themselves to sugar by substituting this for any other food high glycemic index, depending on their allowance based on glucose levels.

Low-carb diets often are synonymous with high-fat diet. Aside from keeping a steady glucose level, diabetics need to maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This is because chronic elevated glucose levels damage blood vessels, placing a diabetic or pre-diabetic at higher risk for heart disease, peripheral vascular disease (leading to loss of feet and legs), stroke and blindness from weak blood vessels in the eye.

Eating quickly and not chewing your food well can cause air swallowing that leads to bloating. So slow down and enjoy your food. Your meals should last at least 30 minutes.

Theres another benefit to slowing things down: When you take your time to thoroughly chew and taste your food, your snack or meal becomes more satisfying.
