Food Product Recall – Do you ignore food recalls?
Rutgers University surveyed over 1,000 individuals and 60% reported searching their homes for potentially contaminated food products when they learn about a food product recall. Survey results show that 40% believe “It’s can’t happen to me” and do not take precautions.
Here are some of the interesting survey statistics:
64% pay attention to food-safety news
81% spread the word about food product recall/problems
25% throw out possibly contaminated food
12% eat food the think may be recalled
Where do you fall?

Weight Loss – The Search for a Magic Pill to Lose Weight
If you’re looking for an easy fix to your weight loss struggle be cautious. According to the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) it’s constantly battling fraudulent and bogus claims in the weight loss industry. Most recently the FDA has targeted 70 different weight loss supplements.
Many weight loss supplements contain “undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients”, frequently in levels exceeding FDA recommendations. These ingredients include drugs not approved in the U.S. These substances impact blood pressure and anti-seizure medications, diuretics, along with drugs linked to suicide, depression, and cancer.
Be smart! We’ve known for a long time the only way to successful weight loss is to eat right and exercise. It’s not easy, but it is possible. . .and well worth it!
No need to play around with dietary supplement safety.
