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>

With obesity becoming a major health problem, it’s good to look for ways to cut calories – every little bit counts.  One way to reduce the calories and total fat in your diet is to use cooking sprays instead of oil or butter when you cook.  These cooking sprays work great for coating [...]]]></description>

Just recently, a vegan group called the Cancer Project filed a lawsuit asking the state of New Jersey to require cancer-warning labels on hot dogs.  I think most people would find this lawsuit to be frivolous and I doubt New Jersey residents will see warning labels on their hot dogs anytime soon, but [...]]]></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>

As a nutritionist, the most common piece of advice I give is to eat more vegetables.  They’re generally high in fiber, low in calories and loaded with phytochemicals that help to prevent you from a number of diseases (especially dark green and brightly colored vegetables).  According to the American Dietetic Association, 70% of [...]]]></description>

Sulfites are sulfur-containing compounds that may occur naturally in some foods, like wine or grape juice and are sometimes added to processed foods to enhance flavor and to preserve freshness.  Sulfites aren’t dangerous to most people but the US Food and Drug Administration estimates about 1 person in 100 is sensitive to sulfites [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nitrites have, for centuries, been used as preservatives of meat, fish and poultry. Additives such as potassium nitrite, sodium nitrate and its derivative sodium nitrite act by drawing moisture away from the meat, thereby providing a dry, sterile environment in which bacteria are unable to grow.
