Dear Mark: Does Chicken Cause Cancer, Should You Neuter, Dog Collagen, and Skipping Dinner

Image
For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m answering a few questions. First came in from an email and regards a new study showing a link between chicken eating and several types of cancers (melanoma, prostate cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) among British adults. What do I think of the study? Second, did I really tell people not to neuter or spay their dogs? Third, can dogs take collagen powder , and if not, are there any alternatives? And last, I address a comment about early time restricted feeding. Let’s go: Hey Mark, What are your thoughts on this study that showed a link between chicken consumption and cancer? https://ift.tt/2HSTJ5Y Okay, let’s do this. First of all, the link wasn’t between chicken and cancer, it was between chicken and specific cancers. The specificity suggests that there may be something going on here. Look, I love a good roasted chicken. There’s almost nothing quite like crispy chicken skin. But today’s birds are exceedingly high in omega-6 fatty acids. Y...

Tell Kellogg’s To Stop Targeting Kids With Cereals Full of Artificial Ingredients (PETITION)

Image
When I first saw Kellogg’s new Baby Shark Cereal my heart sank. My daughter, who is 2 years old, LOVES Baby Shark – and I knew when she saw this she would beg me for a box! Just look at all those artificial ingredients… In 2015, Kellogg’s announced plans to remove artificial colors and artificial flavors from all of their cereals by the end of 2018, and this was widely reported by the media ( 1 ). They never did. Kellogg’s still sells several cereals with artificial colors and flavors in America. And now they’re coming out with brand new cereals full of the absolute WORST ingredients targeting our children.   Kellogg’s is SAYING one thing, but DOING another. Where is their integrity?   Meanwhile, Kellogg’s sells cereals with safer ingredients in other countries. In Europe and Australia, Kellogg’s takes artificial colors and the risky preservative BHT out of their cereals completely. Why not here too? This is wrong.    I am petitioning Kellogg’s to ke...

She will teach you how your mind creates all of your thoughts and emotions and you can change that for the better! These podcast episodes were so great.

The interviewee, Erica, talks about how s...

Cincinnati Chili Recipe

Image
This Cincinnati chili recipe is perfect for your next bowl of pasta or homemade burger! Cincinnati chili is a Mediterranean meat sauce that is generous with the spices. It’s traditionally used as pasta sauce or a topping for burgers or hot dogs. We don’t really do hot dogs around here, but we definitely do pasta and burgers! This is superbly delicious over either and quit filling as well. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT CINCINNATI CHILI? People who are expecting a regular bowl of chili will be disappointed. This is not really chili at all. It’s served more like a sauce or condiment and is much heavier on the spices than traditional chili. The cocoa powder, cinnamon, allspice and cloves give it a different flavor profile than regular chili as well. HOW DO YOU EAT THIS CHILI? There are many ways to serve this delicious meat sauce. These are just a few to get you started: Ladled over pasta. Spooned over homemade fries In a bowl with cheese and chopped, red onions over the top. (You c...
