The main reason that eating fat makes you fat simply is that fat contains more calories per gram than any other kind of food. Each gram of fat contains nine calories, while one gram of protein or carbohydrate contains only four calories. Fat is a calorie-dense food, it provides a large number of calories in a small volume. If you eat carbohydrates or protein, especially in whole foods, you can eat more than twice as much without increasing the number of calories.
For example, it is not carbohydrate foods such as bread and potatoes that make you fat, it is the butter or margarine you add. It is not the salad that is fattening, it is the fatty dressing that is added. Whole milk is a great source of protein, but it is also fattening. That is because it contains 3.5% fat which, amazingly, accounts for almost 50% of the calories. Most of the weight in milk is actually water. If you eliminate most of the fat by consuming not fat milk, you will get all the protein and other vital nutrients, but 40% fewer calories.
To add to the problem, fat stimulates your appetite; it encourages you to overeat because it tastes so good! Ask yourself, would you be inclined to eat a baked potato with sour cream and butter on it or without anything on it?
Research shows that fat calories are more easily converted to body fat than other calories. Studies at Harvard and Stanford Medical Schools found that excess body weight is actually more closely linked to fat consumption than to calorie consumption.
Tufts University Diet And Nutrition Letter described the two studies this way: What it comes down to is that if two men require 2,0000 calories a day each, the one who eats a greater proportion of his 2,000 calories as fat is more likely to end of with body fat than the one who takes in more of his calories as carbohydrate. What is the explanation of this?
Experiments at the University of Massachusetts Medical School show that dietary fat can be turned into body fat so easily the process only uses up 3% of the calories consumed, while it takes 23% of calories consumed to turn carbohydrate into fat stores. In other words, if you consume 100 excess carbohydrate calories, only 77 of them will end up as body fat; but if you consume the same number of calories as fat, 97 will turn up on your body as fat. That is a difference of 25% and, over time, it can add up to many extra pounds of body fat.
The bottom line is, if you want to get and stay lean, reduce your calories slightly while lowering your fat intake so that you consume no more than about 15% in total fat calories. Include about half an hour of mild aerobic exercise and strength training per day in order to lose about one to two pounds of body fat per week. It is not difficult, you can do it!

Strip That Fat and End the Vicious Cycle Once and For All
If you are like most, you are getting tired of endless dieting regimes with little or no results. The average individual spends a great deal of time and money on diets throughout their lives, but for what? Diets simply do not work!
This is not fair! You deserve to lose your excess fat and an eating method is available that will lead to the body, health, and happiness you have been looking for.
You deserve to strip any unwanted fat from your body and look and feel the way you have always wanted. Any amount of unwanted fat can be stripped from the body which will actually help the entire system and organs function better. This will also help you regain the healthy glow and newfound happiness into you life. Less body fat will result in more energy, a clearer mind, and as a result, increased happiness!
There are many dieting myths and unhealthy weight loss programs that give inaccurate information on how to lose weight. The following diets do not work and are simply plain bad for you.
Eating Low Carbs. Low carb, or Atkins style diets, do not work. They are too strict, not sustainable, and make life miserable as the body does not function properly without enough carbs. These diets cause headaches, irritability, and loss of sleep. Low carb diets can actually cause people to gain weight after an initial weight loss.
Low Fat Diets. Packaged low fat food products sold in most supermarkets may be low in fat, but the majority of them are very high in calories which cause dieters to actually gain weight. Low fat foods do not necessarily equal weight loss.
Starvation Diet. The body requires food to function. Losing weight the wrong way by not eating is actually worse for an individual than gaining weight. Starvation diets affect the way the brain functions and slows the metabolism down to a grinding halt!
Following Pre-package Diet Programs. These foods are worse for dieters than foods they can make from their own home. Not only that-prepackaged food diets can cost a significant amount per month to maintain!
Hollywood Diets. The only diet that seems popular in Hollywood is the one where the actors and actresses forget to eat! Most of these so-called diets are very unhealthy to say the least and it would take at least a hundred pages to describe them.
So, if all these diets do not work, what does it take to strip unwanted fat from the body?
It takes a little knowledge, first of all! It does not require brain surgery, however. More than 65% of our population is overweight and the reason is because the majority of these individuals do not have the realistic knowledge of how to lose the excess weight. Here is what it takes to strip unwanted fat from the body:
1) A sensible and healthy eating plan that provides enough nutrients but is slightly reduced in calories in order to cause a small energy deficit in the body. A deficit of about 200 calories per day is just right for most people.
2) The eating plan should be a balance of nutrients comprised of whole natural foods with plenty of water. It must provide just enough protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The meals should be spread throughout the day to provide not 3 meals, but actually 5 to 6 smaller meals which will keep the metabolism functioning at a normal level.
3) A sensible and mild exercise plan consisting of about 30 minutes daily of light aerobics combined with some easy strength training movements. The exercise plan should burn about 200 calories which, when combined with the 200 calorie deficit from the eating plan, will result in a total of about a 400 calorie deficit per day.
4) Plenty of sleep so that the metabolism will continue to function at a normal or even slightly elevated level.
That is what is needed in a nutshell to end the vicious weight gain cycle once and for all. Those four sensible steps can be followed by almost anyone and can result in a loss of pure body fat of about one pound per week which equals about 52 pounds per year! Some individuals will lose even more. Here is to your new lean and healthy body along with your long and happy life!

There simply is no big secret to losing body fat, getting a new zest for life, improving self confidence and let us be honest here, getting hot new bodies. This system is for dieting newbies and goes all the way to those looking to get ripped.
Without going into marketing terminology or hype we can state that most diets pay no attention to critical factors such as age, sex, height and activity levels. They literally just provide a standard set of calories based on bodyweight and somehow miraculously expect people to lose weight and get lean.
Getting lean for life is actually a natural process that does not require deprivation. In fact, the word DIET should not even be used to describe such a process. There is a natural and healthy eating style and simple exercise program that anyone can follow that will easily result in them losing body fat quickly and safely. Anyone in reasonably good health can follow the system and, of course, it is recommended to check with your physician first before embarking upon any exercise program.
The program is simply to eat a balanced diet of whole natural foods combined with some simple aerobic exercise and strength training. It does not require a gym or equipment. The simple aerobic exercise can be walking or jogging around the neighborhood or jogging or walking in place inside your home while watching TV. The strength training can be performed with simple pushups, deep knee bends, or any good movement with no weights required.
The eating program consists of natural tasty food that is high in protein but not too high, and low in fat but not too low. In order to lose body fat an individual simply needs to create a small energy deficit by eating slightly less and being slightly more active. The key word here is slightly! This method is used by ordinary people and also champion athletes on their way to being ripped. It can result in a body fat loss of one to two pounds per week which may not seem like much, but that is actually fifty-two to one hundred four pounds in one year. Now, that is a lot!
Did you know that a good set of six-pack abs are developed not mainly in the gym, but in the kitchen? Eating is about 80% of getting lean, exercise is the other 20%. Eat and exercise properly, it is easy. Here is to your new lean body along with your long and healthy life. All the best.

Increase Your Fat Burning Capacity
Aerobic exercise should be included in the program of any individual interested in getting and staying lean. Everybody knows that aerobic exercise burns calories; what is not so well know is that aerobic exercise increases the capacity of the body to burn fat.
Strength training is anaerobic (without oxygen) exercise. It requires short bursts of high-intenstiy effort. The energy for this type of stop-and-go exercise comes from glycogen, a carbohydrate, stored in the muscles. Weight training burns almost no fat, because fat cannot be converted to energy fast enough. Aerobic (with oxygen) exercise, on the other hand, is low-intensity effort that can be continued for a long period of time. The energy for aerobic exercise comes mainly from fat.
Champion marathon runners are veritable fat burning machines. Long-distance runners hit the wall when they use up the glycogen stored in their muscles. These type of athletes, in essence, train their bodies to conserve glycogen and burn fat. They do this through aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise (prolonged continuous exercise) stimulates the production of enzymes that convert fat into energy. The more fat-burning enzymes an individual has, the better he or she is able to burn stored fat. In technical terms, aerobic exercise increases the ability to mobilize or metabolize fatty acids. Fatty acids, from fat deposits or from a recent meal, are carried by the blood to muscle cells. Fat-burning enzymes enable your muscles to use the fatty acids as fuel.
Marathon runners are lean not only because they burn a lot of calories through running, but also because they have developed the capacity to use their body fat as fuel. People who are out of shape, and have few fat-burning enzymes, burn mostly carbohydrates (rather than fat) for fuel. Fit people, on the other hand, burn fat readily. This is true during exercise and at rest. The fat-burning benefits of aerobic exercise go on around the clock. If you are aerobically fit, you burn more body fat even when you are sleeping.
The benefits of aerobic fitness cannot be touted enough. They lead to efficient pulmonary and circulatory systems as well as to a lean, fit, good looking body. Start an aerobic program slowly, maybe about 10 minutes per day of fast walking, then increase it gradually until you are walking at least 30 minutes five or six days per week. Here is to your long life and fitness!

My Online Income System Reviewed and Found Exceptionally Effective
Kimberly Hoffman has developed a system to make money online called My Online Income System. After purchasing several online money making systems myself and using their methods I have found that they all use basic online marketing procedures and can be very effective. The problems with most of these systems are that some of the steps involved to make money online are either quite expensive, very time consuming, or both. My Online Income System proves to be a very refreshing change from most other systems out there because it is very effective.
All systems give step-by-step instructions about how to do the business, and at first they seem like something an individual can realistically apply. But after going through most of the instructions, there always seems to be something that is overly expensive or that would take endless and tedious hours to complete. Sure, they probably work, but a lot is left hanging. For new people entering a business online, there should be nothing left hanging! Newbies have enough to wonder about coming into an online business without having additional aspects heaped upon them by the very system they have purchased to help them make money.
My Online Income System is significantly different from the others because it does not leave an individual hanging. It actually takes a new business person by the hand and gives them a detailed sixty day plan to follow that is simple and realistic. While following this plan myself I kept wondering when I was going to be hit with the expensive method, or the extremely time consuming and tedious method, that I must follow in order to make some money online.
What I found out was that everything can be accomplished on this system for very low costs and most of them completely free.
I also found that all the steps in the plan are things that I can easily do, there was nothing that was unrealistic. Sure, a person has to work at it, there is no question about that. My Online Income System is definitely not a get rich quick or pie in the sky scheme. It does not practically promise that a new online business person will be making $100,000 per month by the end of the year while following some secret method. Oh please! The system developed by Kimberly has a realistic earnings potential of around $200 to $300 per day within a short period of time meaning within a month or two. After the first year an individual can easily be earning around $14,000 a month if they hang in there and apply all the easy to follow steps.
My Online Income System is something that works, it is as simple as that.

Legit Online Jobs
Is it really possible to find a job today online just with the click of a mouse? Is a source of income literally just one little click away? Yes, of course it is. But this is nothing new, jobs have been listed on the internet for years. The key is to find jobs that are real and legitimate.
There are many income earning opportunities on the net from online surveys, affiliate marketing, ad and article writing, blogging, and good old multi level network marketing. Some people may not refer to them as jobs because very few of them pay an actual salary, but they certainly pay an excellent income and anyone over the age of 18 can do them.
Jobs can pay a salary and maybe some bonuses which may sound good to some people, but at the same time these so called jobs are relatively merely fixed income situations. Employees have to wait until they are given a raise in order to be able to earn more. They also have to hope that their employer can afford to give them the raise as well as afford to keep them. That is a lot to have to hope for and, understandably, many people do not feel very secure with this situation!
Two decades ago, before the rapid growth of the internet, losing a job was considered an overly stressful situation for almost everyone. Today a new source of income is sitting right there on the good old internet just waiting for an individual to see it and join with the click of a mouse. Many people may think that they do not want to do work unless they are paid an actual salary. This is limited thinking. People need to realize what kind of animal the internet is, it is a cheetah charging at 70 miles per hour! Why not become part of this and let technology go to work for you and your family?
Why be a victim of layoffs and unemployment? Search engines on the internet connect with millions of people all over the planet giving them millions of sources of information in a matter of seconds. Why not use this mind-blowing technology to make some money for ourselves? Why indeed!
When we are online it seems as if the whole world is making money using the internet. When we are offline and around people, we can tell that they are definitely not turned on to making an unlimited income via the internet. They are worried about their source of income because it is not paying them enough and they are also concerned that they may lose it. That is not a good way to live.
These same people use modern day technology to communicate with their friends on a blue tooth, but are living decades in the past when it comes to being secure about their source of income. We live in good times, technology is here for our benefit. Why not use it? There are many legit online jobs available right now for anyone over the age of 18 and they are only a mouse click away.

Getting Paid to Write On the Internet
There are many people today on the internet who write at a ninth grade level, with no prior experience, and are getting paid a full time income for it. How much are they getting paid? After a year or two of writing, many of these writers are making between $85,000 and $100,000 per year.
The great majority of them learn the simple techniques through a good write at home system and begin in their spare time from home writing short articles, reviews, blog content, emails, and sales copy. They are paid a fee from the thousands of online businesses that are searching for ordinary people who will write for them. The majority of these companies want writing that is very down to earth.
Writing is wanted today from people who simply write as they speak, something that can easily be understood by the general public. It is perfectly OK to begin a sentence with AND, BUT, or even Hiya. The reason for this is because it is honest and genuine, a part of real life.
Readers do not care if proper punctuation is used, most of them do not know when to use a comma anyway and prefer simple, everyday language. If a writer can simply talk, he or she can certainly write.
Writing today isn't about perfect sentence structure and grammatically correct paragraphs. The only factor an online writer needs to be concerned with is if the words and sentences are easy to read and be understood by the average individual. Every person has something to contribute because we all have stories to share. Right now there is a shortage of writers.
Thousands of businesses need writers, and not necessarily great ones. Many companies want entry-level writers that they can mold into the writers they want; others simply want writers that can get projects done quickly.
Seasoned professional writers usually do not prefer this type of work, they want larger direct response projects that pay large commissions for their talented writing. This is where the internet writer with a ninth grade writing ability enters the picture.
Companies want people who will write simple and easy to read copy for them because they need to keep their information unique, fresh, and interesting. This is BIG business, actually a multi-billion dollar industry and corporations are always looking and willing to pay for new and easy to read content.
We are a society that is constantly on the search for more information, people do not use the library much anymore, instead they punch in a few search phrases on Google and are instantly connected to what they are looking for.
Today there are over a billion internet users worldwide. In January 2008, there were 1,319,872,109, yet that represents only 20% of the world population. 67% of US adults who make purchases online use search engines as a research tool.
Businesses that rank in the top 30 of a search engine get over 90% of the search traffic. Search engine marketing is a $5.75 billion industry that is expected to double by 2010. Businesses are expected to invest about $8.3 billion into search engine marketing in the coming year. Simply put, more content equals more business and more money. Writers are in high demand and companies are willing to pay for simple and easy to read content.
This huge need has opened the door for ordinary people to supply this content via the internet while working from home and starting part time at their own convenience. Almost any individual who can send a reasonable email to a friend is easily qualified to be an online writer and to begin enjoying a significant income from home.
Thousands of people who make money online are working right from their homes. They enjoy spending time with their kids, getting up when they want, not having to commute to work, having the power to control their financial future, having the ability to take vacations whenever they want, and many tax benefits!
If an individual has desire, and the ability to write at a ninth grade level, he or she is holding a gold mine in their hand.

The great majority of them learn the simple techniques through a good write at home system and begin in their spare time from home writing short articles, reviews, blog content, emails, and sales copy. They are paid a fee from the thousands of online businesses that are searching for ordinary people who will write for them. The majority of these companies want writing that is very down to earth.
Writing is wanted today from people who simply write as they speak, something that can easily be understood by the general public. It is perfectly OK to begin a sentence with AND, BUT, or even Hiya. The reason for this is because it is honest and genuine, a part of real life.
Readers do not care if proper punctuation is used, most of them do not know when to use a comma anyway and prefer simple, everyday language. If a writer can simply talk, he or she can certainly write.
Writing today isn't about perfect sentence structure and grammatically correct paragraphs. The only factor an online writer needs to be concerned with is if the words and sentences are easy to read and be understood by the average individual. Every person has something to contribute because we all have stories to share. Right now there is a shortage of writers.
Thousands of businesses need writers, and not necessarily great ones. Many companies want entry-level writers that they can mold into the writers they want; others simply want writers that can get projects done quickly.
Seasoned professional writers usually do not prefer this type of work, they want larger direct response projects that pay large commissions for their talented writing. This is where the internet writer with a ninth grade writing ability enters the picture.
Companies want people who will write simple and easy to read copy for them because they need to keep their information unique, fresh, and interesting. This is BIG business, actually a multi-billion dollar industry and corporations are always looking and willing to pay for new and easy to read content.
We are a society that is constantly on the search for more information, people do not use the library much anymore, instead they punch in a few search phrases on Google and are instantly connected to what they are looking for.
Today there are over a billion internet users worldwide. In January 2008, there were 1,319,872,109, yet that represents only 20% of the world population. 67% of US adults who make purchases online use search engines as a research tool.
Businesses that rank in the top 30 of a search engine get over 90% of the search traffic. Search engine marketing is a $5.75 billion industry that is expected to double by 2010. Businesses are expected to invest about $8.3 billion into search engine marketing in the coming year. Simply put, more content equals more business and more money. Writers are in high demand and companies are willing to pay for simple and easy to read content.
This huge need has opened the door for ordinary people to supply this content via the internet while working from home and starting part time at their own convenience. Almost any individual who can send a reasonable email to a friend is easily qualified to be an online writer and to begin enjoying a significant income from home.
Thousands of people who make money online are working right from their homes. They enjoy spending time with their kids, getting up when they want, not having to commute to work, having the power to control their financial future, having the ability to take vacations whenever they want, and many tax benefits!
If an individual has desire, and the ability to write at a ninth grade level, he or she is holding a gold mine in their hand.

The Two Main Reasons People Are Overweight and Obese
The staggering statistics are that in 2009 our United States population is more than 60% overweight and more than 30% obese. These figures have increased significantly in the past half century and it appears as though there is no end in immediate sight. I have been trying to figure what the cause of it all may be and came up with a reasonable conclusion and also, based on recent research, what can be done about it. What in the world caused all this overweight and obesity anyway?
I think we can trace the whole situation back to the agricultural revolution about ten thousand years ago when the good old homo sapiens (that is you and me, folks!) turned from being hunter gatherers to being farmers and cattle raisers. They no longer had to walk great distances to find food, gather it from where it was growing, and chase after it with a long spear to conquest it.
Suddenly, because of learning the good old science of agriculture, the food of mankind was right out there in the field or walking around in the corral. People adapted to this way of life with ease and became relatively sedentary after a short period of time. Does this mean that it is human nature to be lazy? Not at all.
It is human nature to want companionship and be accepted by others, just as it is throughout most of the animal kingdom. People saw others adapting to a slow and sedentary lifestyle, enjoying the plentiful supply of food, and copied the behavior of their kind in order to be acceptable. Afterall, what could be easier than being sedentary and enjoying a plentiful food supply? The thinking very well may have been: Well, I want to have friends, therefore I had better do what I see other people doing so that I will be accepted by them. With all this food available right on our farm, nobody is running around hunting and gathering, so I certainly will not do it either!
Today we are still a society wanting to be accepted by others, nothing has changed in that regard. We eat, watch the good old TV, eat some more, and sit around even more. Almost everybody is doing it, it has become an acceptable way of life, and here we are more than 60% overweight! We no longer feel or look like the lean and fit hunter gatherers who searched and chased down their dinner.
We have convenience stores open twenty-four hours a day and cooking channels on TV. Has eating and food become an obsession with so called civilized humans? We also have gyms and exercise studios, both large and small, in nearly every town across the nation. Has fitness and health become an obsession with good old civilized humans? One thing for sure, there is a paradox occurring right before our eyes! The two main reasons people are overweight and obese are:
1) Society itself has adapted to a sedentary lifestyle starting from the agricultural revolution.
2) People want companionship and to be accepted by others and thereby conform to the sedentary lifestyle of their peers.
The point is, overweight and obesity is not healthy and it certainly needs to change. Mankind was created to be lean, fit, and healthy and to live a long, loving, and fruitful life. This is simply common knowledge to all of us.
What changes need to take place in the overweight and obese? They need to create a calorie deficit by eating slightly less and being slightly more active with an emphasis on the word slightly! Crash programs are never good for the mind or body. Losing only one pound of body fat per week may not seem like much, but it is actually fifty-two pounds in a year!
Recent studies have shown that having a clean and healthy colon is most beneficial in accelerating the loss of body fat as well as gaining a new surge of health and vitality. Good advice: Eat intelligently, stay active, and get clean.

Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Affecting People and Swine
The antibiotic-resistant bacteria Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) is killing both people and swine in Denmark.
The bacteria has been implicated in the deaths of a number of cancer and liver disease patients. The number of infected patients jumped 50 percent last year.
Health officials stated that the bacteria is being transmitted to humans through pigs. The increased use of antibiotics in agriculture may be behind the spread of the resistant strain.
ESBLs are Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases and are actually enzymes produced by certain types of bacteria, which renders the bacteria resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat them.
ESPBLs were fist discovered in the mid-1980s. At the time they were mostly found in the Klebsiella species of bacteria, in hospital intensive care units. Until recently, only a few people were affected by this bacteria and it didn’t appear to be cause for concern.
That has now changed. According to the British Health Protection Agency (HRA), a new class of ESBL (called CTX-M enzymes) has emerged, which are now being widely detected among E. Coli bacteria. These ESBL-producing E. Coli are resistant to penicillin and cephalosporin, and are becoming more frequent in urinary tract infections.
Other species of bacteria that can now produce ESBLs include:
K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, Salmonella, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The problem appears worse than we think!
According to a study published October 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), there were close to 100,000 cases of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in the United States in 2005, which led to more than 18,600 deaths.
To put that number into perspective, HIV/AIDS killed 17,000 people that year.
This was the study that propelled MRSA into the news last year, combined with a number of school outbreaks that took place around the same time. Discussions focused largely on reducing medical over-use of antibiotics, and proper hygiene such as washing your hands with soap and water to reduce the spread of infectious disease.
But little has been said about the rampant over-use of antibiotics in agriculture, which is a MAJOR source of human antibiotic consumption, and hence increased antibiotic resistance.
Agriculture as a Source of Antibiotic Resistance:
Both MRSA and EXBL are being traced back to animals raised for food production, especially pigs.
These animals are often given antibiotics at low doses for disease prevention and growth promotion. Animals receiving antibiotics in their feed gain 4 to 5 percent more body weight than animals that do not receive antibiotics, but the price is high for you, and the consumer, because this practice also creates the perfect conditions for antibiotic resistance to flourish.
Denmark’s health officials claim they’re unsure of how farmers and veterinarians, who have not consumed infected meat, are becoming infected. However, according to research cited on Johns Hopkins website, the main reservoir of these organisms is in the low digestive tract, and they can persist within the gastrointestinal tract for months. So perhaps the answer does not have to be all that complicated.
So, the meat industry practice of using antibiotics is indeed a driving force behind the development of antibiotic resistance in a now wide variety of bacteria that cause human disease.
The long stalemate on this issue constitutes a struggle between strong science and bad politics. The FDA finally banned the use of fluoroquinolones from agricultural use in August 1997, but not without the Bayer Corporation kicking and screaming in vehement opposition. After all, antibiotics for livestock use is beg business. It constitutes about 70 percent of ALL antibiotic use! They couldn’t replace that market with human consumers even if they tried.
Other Agricultural Sources of Antibiotics:
Another heavily tainted meat product you should stay away from is conventionally raised chicken. A 2006 study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases found that bacteria from conventional chicken and from people who ate the chicken became resistant to Synercid, a strong antibiotic used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In essence, it can cause resistance to the last lines of defense currently available in the modern medicine cabinet.
It also found that it was rate to find resistant bacteria among antibiotic-free chicken, while the majority of bacterial isolates from conventional poultry were resistant.
But, the ramifications of using antibiotics in agriculture don’t end there. Antibiotics filter down through the food chain in sometimes non-suspected ways.
Antibiotics are also being transferred, via manure, into your food supply.
A 2007 study in the Journal of Environmental Quality looked a whether food crops will accumulate antibiotics from soil covered with antibiotic-containing manure.
In a greenhouse setting, corn lettuce and potatoes were grown on soil that contained hog manure with a commonly used veterinary antibiotic added.
The antibiotics were absorbed by all three crops, into both their leaves and tissue. Meanwhile, the antibiotics also transferred to the potato tubers, suggesting that root crops like carrots, radishes and potatoes may be particularly at risk of antibiotic accumulation.
These finding unfortunately also have implications for organic farmers, who often use manure as their main source of fertilizer. And, as it stands, manure that contains antibiotics is still allowed under the organic label.
How to Avoid Excessive Antibiotic Exposure
So how can you ensure that the food you feed to yourself and family is pure and healthy?
Apart from growing it yourself, you best option is to get to know a local farmer near you, one who uses non-toxic farming methods. If you live in an urban area, there are increasing numbers of community-supported agriculture programs available that give you access to healthy, locally grown foods even if you live in the heart of the city.
If you are looking for a safer alternative to commercially raised beef please be sure to check out grass-fed beef. Grass-fed cattle are not routinely fed antibiotics. They may occasionally receive them for an infection, but that would be the rate exception, and even then they are only used for a few days.
