and to walk in the forest with Ba'Aka pygmies collecting medicinal herbs. I often think of Mekema my trusted Ba'Aka friend
and veggies for city dwellers but high levels of toxic metals in soil especially lead could pose health risks for people who grow
In places where the soil is contaminated heavily urban food production may raise as many public health concerns as it solves said Samantha Langley-Turbaugh a soil scientist at the University of Southern Maine in Portland.
Toxic metals such as lead zinc and cadmium are commonly found in soil particularly in urban areas.
Previous studies have linked lead to cognitive and developmental delays lower IQS violent behavior and health problems such as high blood pressure.
As in the case with lead exposure to cadmium may lead to learning disabilities while too much zinc can cause nausea diarrhea and anemia.
However the bulk of the research on toxic metals has focused on lead since lead poisoning is the number one environmental threat to children in the United states. Sources of lead in soil include past industrial activities flaking lead paint from old houses and emissions from leaded gasoline.
Though the United states phased out leaded gasoline in cars and trucks during the 1970s and 1980s soil in high-traffic
and urban areas may still contain high levels of the metal. Some plants can take up lead in contaminated soil through their root systems.
It is easy for a child to obtain more than 6 micrograms of lead per day in a contaminated environment said Howard Mielke a toxicologist at Tulane University in New orleans who also spoke at the AAAS conference.
but we do want to suggest some precautions said Kim Dietrich an environmental health scientist at the University of Cincinnati School of medicine who did not present at the conference.
Urban gardeners can also take steps to separate their crops from lead contamination. Planting produce in raised beds with store-bought soil will keep plant roots from coming into contact with contaminated earth.
Before planting a food garden Langley-Turnbaugh recommends testing the soil for contamination. Most states offer low-cost soil testing through their agricultural cooperative extensions.
Soil in urban gardens may be contaminated with toxic metals especially lead. This story was provided by Myhealthnewsdaily a sister site to Livescience.

Fractals Reveal Birds'Health For birds fractals are a turn on. A new study found that the complexity of fractal patterns on a bird's chest communicates the animal's fitness to potential mates.
Scientists studied male and female red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) which both display complicated black-and-white patterns of plumage on their chests.
The team led by Lorenzo Perez-Rodrä guez of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid Spain first used skin tests to measure immune responsiveness
The scientists also studied the relationship between bird health and fractals by restricting the diets of 33 male
Overall the study found that birds'fractals communicated a lot about the health of individuals which could provide a valuable way for red-legged partridges to judge potential mates.

and this campylobacter outbreak demonstrates the ongoing hazards of unpasteurized dairy products according to the report authors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments.
The findings were detailed online April 26 in the journal Clinical Infectious diseases. Raw milk is riskier than most foods said Douglas Powell a professor of food safety at Kansas State university.
Children along with pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems are at high risk of complications from campylobacter infections.
Typically campylobacter infections cause diarrhea abdominal pain and fever that last about a week and most people get better on their own.
The researchers recommended that state officials consider more regulation of unpasteurized milk such as monthly pathogen testing.
However consumers can never be unpasteurized certain that milk is free of pathogens even it is certified and from a dairy that seems to be functioning well the report said.
The only way to prevent unpasteurized milk ssociated disease outbreaks is for consumers to refrain from consuming unpasteurized milk the researchers wrote in their report.
1 in 6 Who Drink It Gets Sick On average one in six people who drink raw milk becomes ill with bacterial or parasite infections according to researchers at the Minnesota Department of health.
The researchers found 530 laboratory-confirmed cases of infections including bacterial infections from Salmonella E coli
and Campylobacter as well as parasitic infections called cryptosporidiosis among Minnesota patients who reportedâ drinking raw milkâ between 2001 and 2010.
However many cases of such infections aren't reported or confirmed in a laboratory. Based on known rates of underdiagnosing these infections the researchers estimated that 20502 Minnesotans
or 17 percent of raw milk consumers actually became ill during the study period after consuming raw milk according to the study published today (Dec 11) in the journal Emerging Infectious diseases a public health journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The risk for illness associated with raw milk is far greater than what was determined based on recognized outbreaks said study researcher Trisha Robinson an epidemiologist at the Minnesota Department of health.
Infections with the pathogens that can contaminate raw milkâ often cause diarrhea stomach cramps and vomiting which last for about a week.
Fortunately most people recover but sometimes it can cause more severe symptoms or long-term diseases such as a nervous system disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome or reactive arthritis which is inflammation in the joints that develops in response to an infection by bacteria Robinson told Livescience.
In the study about 20 percent of those who became sick developed a serious complication of bacterial infections called hemolytic uremic syndrome
which can cause kidney failure. Â The researchers also found that cases of sporadic infections meaning they occurred in relative isolation as opposed to being part of an outbreak of infections may greatly outnumber the cases linked with outbreaks.
In fact the number of documented sporadic infections was 25 times greater than the number of cases that were part of an outbreak during the study period Robinson said.
Top 7 Germs in Food that Make You Sick The researchers noted that their study is limited in several ways by the data available to them.
They said the sporadic cases of infection that occurred in people who had consumed recently raw milk could not be linked definitely with the milk.
For example some may have become sick through their contact with cattle. From 1998 through 2011 a total of 148 outbreaks associated with the consumption of raw milk products were documented in the United states resulting in 2384 illnesses 284 hospitalizations and two deaths according to the CDC.
Thirty states in the United states permit the limited sale of raw milk. Raw milk can cause many infectious diseases
and foodborne illnesses because it can contain harmful bacteria that are killed not during pasteurization. However raw milk advocates claim it is healthier
and tastes better. Raw milk's health benefits are not scientifically proven Robinson said. But what we can say is that people are getting sick after drinking raw milk.

#Raw milk: Pregnant Women & Infants Shouldn't Drink It, Pediatricians Say Pregnant women infants and children who drink raw milk are at particularly high risk of developing serious life-threatening illnesses said a leading U s. group of pediatricians.
People should consume only pasteurized milk the American Academy of Pediatrics said in a new policy statement reaffirming its position on the issue.
Pregnant women who drink raw milk may face a fivefold increase in risk of the parasite infection toxoplasmosis the doctors'group said;
and infection with bacteria called Listeria which are also found in raw milk has been linked with high rates of stillbirths preterm delivery as well as sepsis
and meningitis in the newborns said the AAP researchers who reviewed studies on the risks of raw milk consumption.
Children the elderly and people whose immune systems have been suppressed due to other diseases are also particularly at risk for becoming severely ill after consuming raw milk the researchers said.
The AAP said it endorses a ban on the sale of raw or unpasteurized milk and its products such as cheese and encourages pediatricians to contact their state representatives to support such a ban according to the statement published today (Dec 16) in the journal Pediatrics.
Sales of raw milk are legal in 30 U s. states although the Food and Drug Administration banned the interstate sale of unpasteurized milk in 1987.
According to estimates 1 percent to 3 percent of all dairy products consumed in the United states are pasteurized not
which means they can carry pathogens such as Listeria Campylobacter Salmonella Brucella and E coli. Top 7 Germs in Food that Make You Sick Over the past decade consumption of raw milk has resulted in 93 illness outbreaks 1837 illnesses 195 hospitalizations and two deaths according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. One study published last week by researchers at the Minnesota Department of public health found that as many as one person in six who drinks raw milk becomes ill.
The bacterial infections that come from raw milk often lead to diarrhea and stomach cramps. But for vulnerable people infections can have serious sometimes life-threatening consequences.
For example pregnant women unborn fetuses and newborns are 13 to 17 times more likely to develop severe illness because of listeria infection compared with other groups of people studies have shown.
And 20 percent of pregnant women who become infected with Listeria experience a miscarriage or stillbirth according to the AAP.
Two-thirds of infants whose mothers are infected with Listeria develop infections such as pneumonia sepsis or meningitis.
Proponents of raw milk claim it is healthier because it contains natural factors that are inactivated by pasteurization.
However such claims haven't been proven scientifically the AAP said. In contrast there is strong evidence that pasteurization does not alter the nutritional value of milk the researchers said.
Substantial data suggest that pasteurized milk confers equivalent health benefits compared with raw milk without the additional risk of bacterial infections the researchers wrote in the statement.

5 Risks of Raw Vegan Diet On the road to good health there are many forks. Some paths such as vegetarianism or the Mediterranean diet have considerable science supporting them.
and reverse diseases and to stay young and vital. Testimonials from ordinary folks are endless boasting advantages along the lines of having more energy better skin improved relationships with woodland creatures and so on
But on your road to good health the raw vegan diet would likely be a U-turn.
Even doctors who prescribe and live by a vegan diet caution their patients against attempting a raw diet.
The reason? You would greatly reduce the types of foods you can eat. And you would do so in vain
and work counter to good health. 7 Medical Myths Even Doctors Believe This article addresses five such principles that are either half true or completely false.
but also makes the food toxic and less digestible. In raw vegan parlance cooking is killing.
And by eating both raw and cooked foods you get the best of both worlds said Jennifer Nelson director of clinical dietetics at the Mayo Clinic and associate professor of nutrition at the Mayo Medical school in Rochester Minn.
and vegetables creates cancer-causing chemicals. The solution however is not to stop all cooking
The enzyme theory for raw foods dates back to Edward Howell a physician who published a book on enzymes in the 1940s primarily citing research from the 1920s and 30s.
Raw foods are detoxifying Dietary detoxification is an alternative medicine concept with little scientific credibility. Usually two organs are cited as needing detoxification:
the liver and the colon. In reality toxins can accumulate anywhere in the body particularly in fat and fatty tissue but also in proteins and bone.
The colon is surprisingly low in toxins however. As for the liver the confusion is that this organ filters toxins
and must therefore the reasoning goes be loaded with toxins. But the liver is more of a chemical-processing plant than a filter;
it breaks down toxins as they pass through. That is the liver doesn't have extra toxins by virtue of it being the body's natural toxin-neutralizer.
Wishful thinking: 6'Magic bullet'Cures That Don't Exist Another argument is that burning fat in this case on a raw vegan diet would release toxins from the body.
But fat cells don't burn up as if into ashes liberating their contents. Fats cells merely get bigger or smaller depending on the amount of fat within the cell that's used.
It is unclear how much of a toxin if any would be set free if the fat molecule it is attached to is burned.
The toxin is now free to attach to other fat molecules. If it does mobilize with other recently liberated toxins in the case of extreme starvation then the toxin could become toxic
and overwhelm the liver. In short there are no foods or herbs that can magically bind and pull toxins from your blood or organs.
The same would be true for cows or for any vegan animals that accumulate toxins in their fat;
they don't cleanse themselves with their raw plant-based diet. At best detoxification schemes (juicing fasting) can help by virtue of not placing more toxins in our body for a day or two.
And a healthful plant-rich diet with plenty of water can in general help your liver
and kidneys process and remove toxins more effectively Mcdougall said. Misconception#4: Raw veganism is healthful Healthfulness
when eating a raw vegan diet is a challenge; it's not inherent. Many on the diet do lose weight by consuming fewer calories.
But weight loss should not be the ultimate goal. The most apparent problems are nutritional deficiencies particularly for vitamins B12 and D selenium zinc iron and two omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.
Without taking supplements in pill form it would be very difficult (and for B12 impossible) to obtain a sufficient amount of these nutrients from raw plant-based foods. 5 Key Nutrients Women Need as They Age Also without access to a variety of foods year-round that can

#Real-life Smoking Caterpillar Uses Nicotine as Defense Ripped from the pages of Lewis carroll's Alice in wonderland scientists have discovered a smoking caterpillar of sorts.
when trying to find out how hornworm caterpillars could consume tobacco plants despite the toxic nicotine within the plant's tissues.
In fact these caterpillars are hundreds of times more resistant than humans who smoke are to the toxic effects of nicotine.
Early trials of medications using a similar principle to treat a rare disease called transthyretin amyloidosis in humans were published earlier this year.

#'Resistant'Starches Heal the Colon, Prevent Cancer & Diabetes The Borg had it wrong. Resistance is not futile.
In fact it can stave off colon cancer and ease inflammatory bowel disease and other digestion problems. The resistance in this case comes in the form of so-called resistant starches certain kinds of carbohydrates that resist digestion in the small intestine
and enter into the large intestine or colon mostly in the same form they entered your mouth.
These starches found in seed hulls parts of corn and beans and in room-temperature rice and pasta can ferment in the colon to promote the growth of good bacteria
and both are important for good health. But starch for the most part is highly digestible; and fiber is not.
and associate professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of medicine There are five different forms of resistant starch she said
Cures what ails you Resistant starch might sound like some kind of miracle cure-all but independent studies have found this substance more

#Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cucumbers Sickens 73 An outbreak of Salmonella linked to cucumbers imported from Mexico has sickened 73 people in 18 states according to an announcement today from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.
People affected by the outbreak became ill between January and April of this year. So far 14 patients have been hospitalized
but no one has died the CDC said. States with the most reported cases include California (28 cases) Arizona (nine cases) and Minnesota (eight cases.
Two-thirds of the 45 patients interviewed by investigators reported eating cucumbers before they became sick.
All patients were sick with a strain of bacteria called Salmonella Saintpaul. Symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning include diarrhea fever and abdominal cramps.
People typically become ill from Salmonella about 12 to 72 hours after eating food contaminated with the bacteria the CDC said.
Consumers should wash all produce including cucumbers before eating cutting or cooking the CDC said Pass it on:
