Austin City Limits and Blueberries!

Photo by  The Rocketeer

So… I went to Austin City Limits (ACL), this past weekend and I had some footage that I planned to post today. For those unfamiliar with ACL, it is basically a music festival which occurs annually in Austin, Texas that features numerous bands throughout a three day weekend. I know you are thinking, why would I post about this on a nutrition blog? Well, I made a video about fruits on my way to ACL, also I took some photos of the different menus offered at ACL.

I chose this photo of a strawberry and a couple of blueberries…because I misplaced my USB cord which connects my camera to the computer which has all the ACL footage. My memory is sometimes a mess, and they say blueberries help with memory. I need to eat more of them.

Tomorrow I hope to have everything posted!

Obesogens NIH FDA chemicals pesticides childhood obesity knika blog nutrition good food health kids

Obesogens: Some Cases of Childhood obesity may be linked to exposure to chemicals, not McDonald’s…

 

…some of these chemicals include pesticides. If only everybody went organic. I have a dream.

Read the entire article here.

Highlights of the article.

 “In 2005 scientists in Spain reported that the more pesticides children were exposed to as fetuses, the greater their risk of being overweight as toddlers. And last January scientists in Belgium found that children exposed to higher levels of PCBs and DDE (the breakdown product of the pesticide DDT) before birth were fatter than those exposed to lower levels. Neither study proves causation, but they “support the findings in experimental animals,” says Newbold. They “show a link between exposure to environmental chemicals … and the development  of obesity.”

 “This fall, scientists from NIH, the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and academia will discuss obesogens at the largest-ever government-sponsored meeting on the topic. “The main message is that obesogens are a factor that we hadn’t thought about at all before this,” says Blumberg. But they’re one that could clear up at least some of the mystery of why so many of us put on pounds that refuse to come off.”
