Chia seeds absorb 12x their weight in water. Flaxseeds flush excess estrogen. Pumpkin seeds boost zinc and testosterone. Sunflower seeds are packed with vitamin E. H**p seeds contain all 9 amino acids. Sesame seeds have more calcium than milk. Six seeds. Cheaper than supplements. Stronger than most pills. You're walking past medicine every grocery trip.

The misting at the grocery store is not just water. For those with AG, all water isn’t equal anyway.

🚨 Texas AG Ken Paxton is investigating major grocery chains and threatening legal action for spraying organic produce with the pesticide Produce Maxx, without telling customers.

Produce Maxx is an EPA-registered antimicrobial containing high levels of hypochlorous acid (a form of chlorine).

While used to kill bacteria and extend shelf life, this post-harvest spraying on organic fruits and vegetables poses risks to consumers who assume their "organic" produce is pesticide-free.

Many stores hide the misting systems and provide no warnings or instructions to rinse the produce, despite federal law and USDA rules requiring a thorough rinse with drinking water before eating to maintain organic status.

Paxton calls it misleading and potentially illegal, demanding clear signage about the pesticide treatment and rinsing requirement—or face enforcement.

Texas shoppers buying organic deserve to know what's really on their food.

Arsenic in Candy 🍬

The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) under the Healthy Florida First initiative finds 78% of the tested popular candy brands (Three Musketeers, Snickers, Skittles, Nerds, Kit Kats SweeTarts, Twizzlers, Sour Patch Kids, Jolly Rancher, Nerds, Jolly Ranchers and others) contain elevated levels of arsenic.

Arsenic is a known human carcinogen. Long-term exposure, even at low levels, has been consistently associated with:

- lower IQ scores
- learning and memory difficulties
- attention and behavioral problems
- slower cognitive processing
- disrupting neuronal signaling
- increasing oxidative stress (cell damage from free radicals)
- altering gene expression involved in brain development
- reduced white blood cell function
- impaired antibody production
- weaker responses to infections
- more frequent infections
- longer recovery times
- Inflammation
- skin cancer
- bladder cancer
- lung cancer
- liver cancer

These findings come from epidemiological studies in multiple countries, not just one-off reports.

Banana Nut Bread
🍌 🌰 🍞

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup room temperature butter
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Bake 350 for 60 minutes

My special touch are the strips of banana across the top, sprinkled with walnuts and cinnamon sugar.

I aim for low histamine options and try to avoid cross contamination in a household of mammal eaters.

I used glass to mix and bake in, stainless steel utensils, and new air fryer only used for AG meals.
