There are certain stereotypes about each food category and fermented foods are no different than the rest. And as with any stereotype, some people will take it very seriously and believe they are true on any occasion. I know people that will not eat fermented foods, especially the ones made at home because they don’t believe it’s safe for consumption. They will not want to even try.

The food that is on the list is the food we eat often without even thinking about how harmful they are for us. I’m talking about food that will not have any nutritional value or useful ingredients.

Are Our Fruits Safe – Artificial Ripening
We all know that most of the fruits that we see in our local grocery stores come from different areas and sometimes even different countries. Especially during winter if you buy mangos, papayas, bananas, and other tropical fruits, they will be arriving from far away countries. For them to be transported and delivered on time, they are commonly collected before they are ripe and ready to eat. Farmers will pick the fruits in still green stages and they will be transported to their destinations in time for us to pick them up in our markets. So what happens in between? How do the fruits actually ripen?
Salt – The Spice Of The Earth
What is it about salt that we give so much meaning? Not only to season our meals and give them more flavor. Since the time of men, salt has been used in rituals and blessings. When people did the most crimes against the king and country, it wasn’t enough to just execute them their land would be plowed and covered in salt. So nothing else could grow. What made this simple chemical compound so important in our lives? Not only for our health but for our minds also.
The Integrity of Companies – Should We Care?
When you buy a product, any type of product you look for quality and price. You expect that product to deliver its purpose. But do you ever wonder about the company that makes it?

Sugar Addiction – Is There Such A Thing?
The simplest definition of an addiction is an inability to stop using a substance or engaging in a behavior even though it is causing psychological and physical harm. So if we put it correctly for the sake of discussion sugar addiction would be the inability to stop consuming sugar even though it is causing psychological and physical harm to our imaginary person. Is it a real thing?
Got Milk – I Think I Will Pass
Milk is not the primary source of calcium anymore if it ever was. Don’t trust everything that is being sold to you by aggressive marketing. The welfare of your children and your health is in your hands. You make the choices based on your beliefs, goals, and opinions. Aggressive marketing should stay away and do better product research for a change. Use your common sense and from time to time reevaluate the tradition. Because trust me, the milk that was produced 50 years ago is not the same standard we are being sold today.
