I don't want to sound like a party pooper, since I too like a good scotch here and there, but that doesn't mean we should avoid talking about the health implications.  I get it, alcohol is an intricate part of our culture, and Acadian Canadians like me have been known to do their fair share of binge drinking.

In many parts of the world, doctors are still recommending alcohol for sleep, anxiety, pain management and even during pregnancy.  I'm not one to rain on anyone's parade, but people love hearing good news about their bad habits.  So I'm not surprised that people would jump for joy after hearing that alcohol is healthy.  If you drink red wine because you love it, then you're an adult and you can decide for yourself, but if you do it for cardiovascular protection or any other medical reason, then you might be surprised to hear what I have to say.  In this article, I'll review the pros and cons of alcohol consumption and I'll summarize the latest research on this highly popular beverage.

Does milk really "do a body good"?  What about all the celebrities showing off their milk mustaches?  Is the dairy industry simply a marketing genius?  What are the odds of us having been duped by huge dairy corporations?  Could it be a coincidence that the government of Canada officially removed the dairy food group from the Canadian food guide in 2019?  

Does milk really help build strong bones?  That's the message we've been told since our childhood.  We associate milk with calcium, with strong bones and teeth and with health in general.  Is this true?  Would we all be frail and weak without cow's milk?  Why is it normal to drink cow's milk, but not dog or cat's milk, or even moose milk, considering it actually contains way more calcium?  That's a question I've asked myself for a long time, and in my simple human brain, there was always something very weird about drinking the milk of another lactating species.  In this article, I'll review the nutrient content of milk, how it's made along with the process and necessary steps from the farm to your fridge.

In this episode, I'll summarize findings from a massive undertaking where international scientists and researchers came together and reviewed hundreds of trials and finally came to a scientific consensus about soy.  I'll also answer all of your burning questions about soy, including:

• is soy linked to cancer?
• is soy adequate for children?
• does soy consumption in men lead to "man-boobs"?
• does soy affect thyroid function?

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a major risk factor for our first killer worldwide, cardiovascular disease. Although no one is pretending that eating a stalk of celery will impact blood pressure the same way that pharmacologic doses of medication would, it’s important to recognize that small impacts add up. 

For those who have only minimal increases in BP, certain specific nutrients have been shown to have significant impact on BP. For others who may have higher elevations, certain dietary patterns could also significantly improve BP control. 

If you’re thinking of making changes to your diet or lifestyle, please talk to your doctor to make sure your BP doesn’t get too low.

The paleo diet gets a lot of things right.  It tells you to ditch candy bars, doughnuts and processed junk.  That's where we can agree.  But here's where we don't.  "Eat like a caveman" is the premise of this dietary pattern.  I'm sure our paleo ancestors were the picture of health, considering the average life expectancy was less than 30 years. Cavemen didn't even survive long enough to suffer from chronic disease.  So why are we promoting this diet and telling people it prevents them?

I personally enjoy drinking kombucha!  It contains beneficial bacteria, yeast, organic acids, vitamins and polyphenols.

Although this drink is a type of carbonated tea that has been consumed around the world for thousands of years, it seems to have made quite a comeback lately and people are promoting it as the next big miracle cure for everything from gut health to mental health.  Is there any proof to the hype?  Is kombucha a magic probiotic potion that will be your fountain of youth?  What about reports of liver toxicity and of this tea turning your blood to acid?  There have been case reports of deaths linked to kombucha consumption.  Let’s review what kombucha is, what it contains, and how it affects your body.

If I've asked myself this question, I might assume someone else has too.  Do fruits and veggies lose nutrients when frozen?  Is the fresh version healthier?  Often, I fail to eat all the produce I've bought.  I honestly despise throwing away food but when I see that weird fuzzy fungi stuff growing on my strawberries, I know I have no choice.  Sounds familiar?

Before I started my plant-based journey, I had no clue what nutritional yeast was or the benefits it could provide.  Now, I use it regularly in sauces, soups and stir-frys.  I sprinkle it on salads, mashed potatoes, rice, vegetables and popcorn! Let's explore what it is and why you should consider incorporating it in your diet.
