Shopping Smart: When deciding when to buy organic, I follow the list of the most contaminated produce published by The Environmental Working Group. For those of you with iphones, there is a link on their webpage which enables you to download their 'dirty dozen' and 'clean fifteen' lists onto your phone which makes these lists even MORE accessible when in the store!

Snacking on the go: In weeks passed I have talked about how to choose a snack bar. Here are links to my favorite.

• Pro Bars  
• Larabars  
• Cliff Bars  
• Luna Bars 
• Mojo Bars 
• Doctor Food Bars 
• Eat Natural Bars
• The Whole Bar - this is a great whole-grain food bar which was developed and produced  by a great friend and fantastic Naturopathic Physician based in Jackson Hole, WY. If you live in the US, these bars can be shipped to you - they are made with real foods and are deliciously pure. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The vaccination debate: A great site of interest on this topic is the World Mercury Project - the founder of this organization has experienced the near-fatal effects of a mercury overdose through normal life-choices, and is working on a documentary called 'Trace Amounts' which is about the amount of Thimerasol in vaccine boosters and its effect on health.
