Toxic Chemicals and Newborns
"In a study spearheaded by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) in collaboration with Commonweal, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals. Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline, and garbage."

Healthy Recipe of the Month
Orange Blueberry Salad
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 orange
Peel off the skin of the orange thinly with a knife. Cut into 16 pieces and mix with blueberries. Enjoy with breakfast or as a snack! This is my personal favorite.
Note: Leaving the pulp between the skin and the orange increases the amount of vitamin C and bioflavinoids in the orange.
