Video: Rejoice with Blueberry, Peach & Avocado Ice Cream

My dear brothers and sisters,

Our pleasure to bring you this delightful ice cream. It is a delight to put it together. Since organic peaches are unavailable at this time of year we suggest you use mangos instead or maybe a  mango, scooped out and a banana.

Give it a try and let us know. Your comments are always so helpful.

May we wish you and family a delightful springtime of good health, prosperity and success

By Carla Peeters

Last month, a young student at Eton College died at the age of 17 while playing games on the college fields.

Unfortunately, this sad event is not an isolated incident. During the same week, a different young football player collapsed in three separate world football games.

As a stunned commentator said, “World football, unfortunately, has been subject to so many distressing scenes on the pitch over the last few years.”

Investigations are urgently needed if we are to cultivate healthy generations by 2040.

Trends and observations for children (0-14 years old) reviewed in this article confirm that the health of the young population is deteriorating.

Breakfast Cereals Scrutinized For Pesticide That May Harm Reproduction

By Sina McCullough

Imagine starting your day with a bowl of cereal that could be silently affecting your family’s health. Recent studies show that chlormequat, a pesticide linked to reproductive issues, has been found in popular breakfast cereals like Quaker Oats and Cheerios. As this substance infiltrates the American food supply, the potential risks to our health and future generations loom larger, raising urgent questions about the safety of our everyday food choices.

In a study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology on Feb. 15, 2024, researchers revealed alarming findings regarding the prevalence of chlormequat.

Chlormequat was detected in the urine of 4 out of 5 people or 80 percent of Americans tested. Additionally, 92 percent of oat-based foods tested contained chlormequat, including Quaker Oats and Cheerios.

This study—the first to report urinary chlormequat measurements in adults living in the United States—highlights the possible widespread presence of chlormequat and the necessity for transparency and further investigation into potential health implications for consumers.
