Chances are, most of the meat you buy at the grocery store is either fresh or frozen, but there are several types of meat available in cans.  The most popular canned meats include fish like tuna and salmon, plus you can also buy shrimp, clam and crab meats in cans.  It&#8217;s a convenient [...]]]></description>

Food manufacturers add things to their products to keep them from going bad before we eat them.  When you look on the package for the ingredients list, you might find BHA and BHT listed there.  Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are preservatives that keep fats from going rancid.
Both BHA and BHT [...]]]></description>

When I walk through the beverage aisle at the grocery store, it looks like about one-quarter of the shelf space is devoted to bottles of water.  Quite a change from when I was a kid.  Back then there were a few gallon jugs of distilled water, and the only reason my mom bought [...]]]></description>

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound used to harden plastic that some experts fear may be hazardous.  You&#8217;ll find BPA in some hard plastic baby bottles, water bottles, hard plastic microwavable cookware, plastic storage containers and lining aluminum cans.   In large amounts, BPA is toxic and exposing those plastic items to heat [...]]]></description>

I’m getting into back-school-mode (or maybe my bored kids are getting on my nerves – not sure which) so today I was thinking about things to pack in school lunches, both good things and bad things.  Small, one-serving pudding and gelatin cups are popular for school lunches.  They’re convenient, properly portioned and they [...]]]></description>

I love hummus!  It’s delicious and good for you because it contains only healthy ingredients – just chickpeas, tahini (from sesame seeds), olive oil and a little garlic (and maybe some other tasty additions or seasonings).  Hummus has healthy monounsaturated fats and protein and when you combine some hummus with whole-wheat pita bread, [...]]]></description>

Chances are, that loaf of white bread sitting in your kitchen cabinet contains a little bit of something called calcium propionate, which has been added as a preservative.  Calcium propionate keeps bread and baked goods from spoiling by preventing mold and bacterial growth.  So if it’s bad for bacteria, does it mean it’s [...]]]></description>
