how come so many people are born with toungs that love junkfood and foods that are salty oposed to health food

how come so many people are born with toungs that love junkfood and foods that are salty oposed to health food?
shouldn't adaptation have altered our taste buds so that more people think healthy foods (garlic, broccoli, cauliflower ect) taste good so that we can survive better? how did this people's liking of saltiness (which can lead to many problems) originate

it's a learned taste and your satiated after consuming these items. I believe it comes from when we were cavemen and if we got ahold of a lot of fat from the protein we killed it would satiate and serve us well for a long time. The ramps and weeds we ate...not so much!
2 :
The more you eat it, the more you want it. People go for quick easy foods because or lifestyle makes it hard to find time to plan and the easy quick stuff is the bad stuff. You then acquire a taste for it. If you never ate it, you wouldn't like it much

i wouldn't recommend natural remedy herbs because they may contain strong alkali that is because poisons come from nature and other than food you should try to avoid the natural stuff. i also believe you should get your organic food from local stores rather than the internet , i'm sorry i couldn't help much.
2 :
The only 2 I know of are the ones I use all the time/ Here are there web sites: http://www.VitaminShoppe.com http://www.swansonvitamins.com GNC are too expensive and don't have a great variety of what you are looking for. The are the pits.

Does the hospital report cases of food poisoning to public health

Does the hospital report cases of food poisoning to public health?
My friend suffered a near-fatal bout of food poisoning from a restaurant, but she didn't end up suing them. My concern is for the public health: would the hospital have reported this to some sort of health department or to the restaurant itself? Or should my friend be doing more to make sure this doesn't happen to other people who eat there? Please, please, any timely answers would be great because this is a rather timely issue (every day nothing is reported, people could die). Thank you

I think it depends on the laws in your area. But I think most laws require the hospital to report it to the health department. That could result in an extra inspection or a fine etc. I know when I had an almost fatal bout of food poisoning they questioned my parents about where I could have gotten it from. As it turned out the most likely suspect was from my aunt's cooking. So of course there was nothing the could from that stand point.
2 :
She should report it to the local Board of Health. Or call the CDC (Center for Disease Control) in Atlanta.

I have osteopenia, which is right before osteoporosis. Foods high in calcium and vitamin D is what you will need to be eating, along with suppliments that the doctor may prescribe. Dairy is not the best source of calcium. Dark, green leafy vegetable such as spinach provide your body with better calcium. You may want to talk to your doctor or nutritionish for a full list

You will have to ask them. I work at a health food store and we only except opened item returns for people who have the receipt if it is within 30 days and we give them store credit. And we only do it for people we know are regular customers

Can we chocolate lovers argue that chocolate is a health food since it comes from a tree

yes, and it's packed with anti-oxidants.

Why argue? It's delicious. It's delightful. It has antioxidents. I'm eating some now... Wait, what was the argument...?
5 :
I would love to believe so. In most cases, it isn't- though I hear that a certain amount is good for you... Recent research shows that chocolate can provide natural health-promoting substances called flavonoids. Since flavonoids seem to help prevent heart disease and cancer, the idea of eating chocolate sounds like a tempting and delicious way to better your health. The complete message is, however, that although chocolate might be preferable to other treats, it is no substitute for vegetables and fruits, which also contain flavonoids. The flavonoids in chocolate that laboratory studies demonstrate to have powerful antioxidant effects are called flavanols and procyanidins. These two compounds come from the flavonoid â€œfamilyâ€ that includes resveratrol, found in grape juice, and EGCG, found in green tea. When people consume these substances in chocolate and cocoa, the antioxidant status of their blood increases.

you're not far off, but cacao is what comes from the tree, and if you ate that, you'd be right on the money. chocolate is taken from that and tons of milk and sugar are added to make what you would end up buying in a store (even dark chocolate) cacao nibs are good, almost nutty and very strong dark chocolate flavored. you can by raw organic cacao from the place I get mine. try it, and if you like it, you CAN claim chocolate as a health food. http://www.sunfood.com/buy/1/73/491/Cacao+Nibs%2c+8+oz%2c+Sunfood+Nutrition%E2%84%A2+%28peeled%2c+raw%2c+certified+organic%29/0878.aspx
