So we’ve looked at HOW milk depletes calcium and contributes to osteoporosis, but what about milk as a “risky”, “chemical carcinogen”…??
In the last post I mentioned that many milk related research articles had focused on less than pleasant conditions. One of these unpleasant conditions is intestinal bleeding and it occurs mostly in infants and young children, often times leading to iron-deficient anemia.

“Milk is a great source of calcium”…
“Milk is important for strong bones and teeth”…
“Kids need milk to grow up to be big and strong”…
How would you feel if I told you that all of the above statements were lies? Big, fat, dirty, extremely dangerous, and very well funded lies? And that between 1988 – 1993 of the 2,700 research articles investigating milk that were recorded in medical archives in just the US alone, NONE of the researchers advised that milk was a good, great, or even excellent food for humans.
(Want to know what the real focus of those research articles were…?? Intestinal bleeding, bovine leukemia, asthma, heart disease, childhood diabetes, anemia, allergic reactions, arthritis and cancer!)
I think I’d be pretty safe to say that just about everyone reading this will have taken an antibiotic at some point in their life. Fair enough. But every drug has side-effects, we all know this. So what is the side effect of taking antibiotics? Continue reading
Ah deodorant, one of modern life’s little luxuries. And one that we often take for granted until we are within close proximity of someone not using it on a hot summers day! Ooh yeah!
As far as personal care products go this is generally the first one to pop into our daily routines, and with the recent start of the school year I have heard from countless parents that their young daughter or son has started to notice that they smell a little bit under there, and they are starting to feel a little self-conscious, so have been asking if they can buy some deodorant. What strikes me is how many parents are caught off guard with how much earlier their own children are developing Continue reading
This year’s resolution was BOLD, it was out there, it was serious. It had fore thought, insight, and a month before the new year dawned I put it out there, I told people, I owned it, I planned on doing some preparation…. then it was New Years Day.
On the way home from watching the sunrise on the beach I decided a couple of extra breakfast ingredients would add nicely to the decadence of heralding in another year. Which is when my partner reminded me… No Coles or Woolworths, remember!!??! Oh crap, yes, it’s January 1st. No Coles or Woolworths.
And so it was. The resolution came to be without so much as a farewell impulse shop. Or a fresh load of toilet paper. Continue reading
So I’ve been going through old folders and articles that I filed in lifetimes gone by; having obviously found them interesting enough to hold on to, or perhaps hoping that at a future time I would understand or be able to better relate to their content. Continue reading
Baobab powder is my current crush! This slightly earthy, citrusy powder is delicious (amazing for something so healthy, I know!!) and I’ve been enjoying it as a regular addition to my water bottle for a couple of weeks now. YES, just in water!!!
So what is Baobab?? Continue reading
February…. How did we get here already..?? February. Wow.
So I’m writing from Sydney this time, and am thoroughly enjoying all the moving and shaking I’ve been doing lately. I’m down here for one of my oldest friends weddings this weekend, and even though we’ve reached our 30’s there’s days when I still can’t believe that we’re doing that whole “grown up” stage of life thing! HA! I wonder if we ever really feel like we’ve “grown up”??
To some the following information may seem shocking, to others, myself included somehow it feels like… finally! The fact that we seem to need scientific studies to back up millennia of empirical results, and what should be (and used to be) common sense still frustrates me, and from time to time feels like an insult to our human, ancestral, biological intelligence.

This is a TED talk that I absolutely LOVE! I first saw it a while back and have watched it many times since. It’s one of my favourites, it’s inspiring, it’s life changing, and I hope you feel as moved as I did by watching! Enjoy!
