Not to try to nit-pick, but yes... your skin/urine can turn an orange-y color from eating copious amounts of carrots. BUT it's not harmful for you to do so, it's just your body getting lots of beta-carotene.
>>> I sometimes worry about turning orange from eating too much pumpkin pie this time of year.
Here in Maine "Oakhurst Dairy" claims to be hormone free as well. I am boycotting "Hood" products as they practicly put 9 Maine dairys here in Maine out of business. After signing a contract with them to convert to Organic, which was considerable cost to the dairies, Hood pulled out on them. These dairies now have been working together to produce Oranic milk which is supposed to be on the market by late November>
No canned tomatoes or canned beans means no chili, so forget that. I'm assuming the acid in the tomatoes leaches lead or mercury or something out of the steel of the cans?
You can use fresh or packaged tomatoes and dried beans. It will taste a lot better, anyway.
Thanks for the atricle. I become very leary of all of these warnings. Sometimes they are true and then years later we find out some were wrong.
If it makes sense and I can afford it I will change. I have been eating canned tomaotes, regular potaotes, and regular apples for years. I'm still here. I think the key to most things is moderation.
If I can grow my own I will but I will not pay the organic prices.
Exactly...Del Monte makes a jarred tomato. If you can even find it, it's like $2.49 for an 8 oz. jar.

Good or bad, everything flip-flops back and forth, usually several times. Depends on who is financing the study, in my opinion.
Some stupid health freak cow was looking at what I was putting in my basket earlier (which included salami which as you know has a lot of fat). This skinny old cow clearly seemed to "disapprove", as if it's any of her business, meanwhile proceeding to check out her Ryvita, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber et al. I would be unsurprised completely if she has far more nutritional deficiencies on that diet than I do. Doubt her blood pressure is as low as mine either! (90/60).
It's been a myth for too long that high fat diets are "bad for you". Plenty of indigenous/native peoples have a major proportion of their diet from fat and have none of the chronic health problems crippling the western world today. Last thing I need (especially being underweight) is garbage-useless salad.
Soon as some jerk tells me what I should be eating/doing I do the opposite. Jolly goood.
