wasabi love

Hi there!!

I just wanted to share with you my latest passion...this WASABI HUMMUS from Florentin !!!! Wow it's so good. Not too spicy, really perfect.


After the exams I'll try to make some (I guess it's just like making regular hummus but with some extra wasabi sauce), but now I have still a couple days to study!

Have a great weekend!

nos enfants nous accuseront


This is a French movie about the high amounts of pesticides in our foods today. It's about a little village where the school decided to provide biological meals at the canteen and you can see all kinds of testimonies about the subject.

It's the first time that the next generation, won't be as healthy as their parents...Don't you think that's scary?

Check it out!

excitotoxins, the taste that kills



Hey guys! Sorry it's been a long time again...exam periods!

I still have 3 weeks to torture my brains, but talking about brains, lots of people torture them without knowing they do.

Excitotoxins...not a lot of people know what they are, what they do, and that they are put in your food. An excitotoxin is a substance added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees.

It's strange because this book from Russell L. Blaylock was published in 1994 and it's nowadays STILL to be found in babyfood (!!!), medication, everything that is 'sugarfree' and lots of different foods...

The most well known excitotoxin is aspartame. It has 92 SIDE EFFECTS. Here are a couple of them;
  
Headaches, insomnia, chronic fatigue, gray rings under the eyes, less sightseeing, skin reactions, itches, gain of weight, depression, hair loss, excessive thirst and hunger, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, articular pain, cramps, loss of memory, nosebleeds, menstrual problems, sexual problems, thyroid problems, breast pain, hypertension, asthma, paranoia, dementia, hyperactivity, dizziness, brain cancer, ruptured aneurysm, cardiac problems,.... It also gives symptoms like the diseases of Alzheimers, Parkinsons, multiple scleroses, ... .

I'm always horrified the way I see young people (too many of them are children too) drink all liters of light soda's. I'm also horrified that excitotoxins (there exists a lot more of them than only aspartam; like monosodium glutamate, cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid) still aren't prohibited in Europe (??!!). In japan they are forbidden.

Here is a video of Russell L. Blaylock talking the truth about all those excitotoxins in our food, it's kind of an old video maybe a little bit boring in the beginning (but hey, isn't everything else much more interesting than studying?). If you don't have a lot of time, I recommend you to go straight to minute 25:25 where he tells which names these excitotoxins are given on food etiquettes and also in what kind of food you can find them the most...

Now I'm going back to my books...hopefully if you have a bottle of coca cola LIGHT or ZERO on your desk, you will now throw it away. NOW. 

Bye
