Are You Team Sardine?

Eating sardines twice a week can provide your brain with more DHA, your bones with more calcium and your heart with more CoQ10 than any other single food. These small, oily fish are a nutritional powerhouse. They promote brain health, cognitive support and natural calcium. They also supply high-quality protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and anti-inflammatory fats in an affordable, low-mercury package. 

Health enthusiasts often take it further with a “sardine fast,” consuming only sardines for a few days to reset the body. Many report benefits like reduced inflammation, increased energy, clearer skin and weight loss thanks to the concentrated protein and healthy fats. I wish I liked them enough to give this a try! I do see the health benefits, but I just can't seem to stomach them. Maybe one day they'll win me over, but until then pass me the farm fresh eggs!  

Are you team sardine or team egg?

The Hidden Cost of the Fresh Laundry Scent

Fabric softener is one of the leading contributors to indoor air pollution. Every time you catch that fresh laundry scent” you’re likely inhaling a cocktail of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as acetaldehyde, benzene derivatives and phthalates. These synthetic fragrances may smell inviting, but they linger on clothes, towels and air, quietly disrupting respiratory health, triggering headaches and potentially affecting hormones with repeated exposure. 

The good news is you can create truly comforting aromas without the chemicals. Skip the dryer sheets and turn to natural sources that nourish both your senses and your home. Baking banana bread or cookies fills the kitchen with the warm, irresistible scent of real vanilla and cinnamon.  

For an even simpler option, try a simmer pot. Fill a pot or crockpot with water, sliced orange or apple, a couple cinnamon sticks, cloves, and optional rosemary or vanilla. Simmer on low for hours, adding water as needed. The gentle release of natural essential oils creates a cozy, toxin-free atmosphere. Whether it’s a fall-inspired apple-cinnamon blend or a bright lemon-rosemary mix, these natural methods prove that the best home scents come from real ingredients, not lab-made fragrances. Your lungs will thank you.

What FDA Really Means

“FDA Approval” is more of a business deal than guarantee of safety or effectiveness. FDA in reality means the pharmaceutical industry and regulators have struck a profitable agreement, frequently at the expense of public knowledge and patient safety. Over the years approval standards have loosened dramatically. The result is a system where drugs reach the market with limited data, only for serious side effects to surface later.  

This reality is fueled by massive lobbying power. Lobbyists and back door deals effectively shape the rules, lowering the bar for approval. Aggressive marketing turns the FDA label into perceived validation. The public is left assuming “approved” equals safe when in truth it often reflects successful negotiation. 

Always question the evidence behind an approval and examine who funded the studies. In a world run by lobbyists and profit motives, blind trust in FDA approval is the real scam.

The Pink Ribbon Dupe

Hershey's Kisses wrapped in shiny pink foil, plastered with "THINK PINK" and breast cancer awareness ribbons are just a way to remind us of the pink dupe. Instead of adding pink ribbons on products every October, maybe companies should just remove the cancer-causing ingredients! 

Every October, corporations slap a pink ribbon on their junk food, ultra-processed snacks and other products, then pat themselves on the back for "raising awareness." Meanwhile, they're raking in millions from pink-washed sales while the actual ingredients of excess sugar, artificial additives, inflammatory oils and chemicals keep fueling the very problem they're pretending to fight. It's not awareness. It's marketing. 

Real change would mean reformulating products, not changing the wrapper. Real support would fund actual prevention research instead of turning a serious disease into a yearly profit. Stop falling for the pink ribbon racket. Demand better ingredients, not better wrapping.

What's Coming Your Way?

I just looked at this word search and was compelled to share. My very first word was LORD and immediately thought of Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV): “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” 

What a great way to start the week.  I'll take it!
