Weekend Links


In which I share my favorite posts from this blog's Facebook page

* Costco berries recalled for possible hepatitis A contamination.


* Government gives okay to GMO mushrooms, and says they don't need regulation.


* Now there's another reason to avoid fast food. This is interesting...because it's not the food itself that's in question here, but it's high exposure to a chemical found in things like conveyor belts and gloves.

* Common drugs like Benadryl, Demerol, Dimetapp, Dramamine, Paxil, Unisom and VESIcare linked to reduced brain size and possibly Altzheimers. And researchers have known about the drug-brain size correlation for a decade.

* Acid reflux drugs may lead to kidney failure.

* Did you know it's a myth that picking dandelion flowers will hurt bees? Picking dandelion flowers only makes these prolific plants produce more flowers!

* The Environmental Working Group has released its updates on which fruits and veggies are laden with the most pesticides. (Ick! Strawberries and apples now top the list.) But remember, you can almost always grow your own. In fact, I wrote a book about that.

* Billy Graham's 6 Parenting Tips.
