\"Man<\/a>Things are still hectic at the house – the kitchen and dining room remodel is in full dust-wood-studs-and-mess mode, and since it’s tax season, the office is in turbo charge.<\/p>\n

I’ll post more about the remodeling soon, because it is providing a long list of life lessons, many of them a little painful.\u00a0 Some are to be expected when remodeling a 100+ year old house.\u00a0 Others could have been avoided.<\/p>\n

Right now I wanted to share with you a blog post from Rodale.com – 14 Foods You Should Never Eat. This is a list of the foods the experts avoid.\u00a0 A couple of the foods on the list are a little extreme (avoid all bread, for instance), but several of them have solid, surprising reasons for being on the list. Here at Simple Life, we believe that the foods you eat can have a profound affect on your health and emotions.\u00a0 One of the fundamental parts of simplifying your life is learning to nurture your body and mind.<\/p>\n

Here is the brief list … visit the link at the bottom for the full article.\u00a0 It’s worth the read, especially if you have children.<\/p>\n

1. Swordfish<\/strong> – high in mercury<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Nonorganic Strawberries<\/strong> – pesticides<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Diet Soda<\/strong> – artificial sweeteners cause multitude of health problems<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 McDonalds<\/strong> in general – represents factory farming<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Canned Tomatoes<\/strong> – the linings of tin cans contain BPA<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Bread<\/strong> – wheat causes a multitude of health problems<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Industrially Produced Hamburgers<\/strong> – Inhumane treatment and filthy conditions for the cows<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Corn<\/strong> – pesticides and genetic engineering<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 White Chocolate<\/strong> – no cacoa, the ingredient that makes dark chocolate so awesome. (Don’t panic, dark chocolate is not on the list.)<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Artificial Sweetners<\/strong>\u00a0 – cause high blood sugar levels and other health issues<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0 Sprouts<\/strong> – frequent source of recalls and E. coli, salmonella and listeria contamination<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0 Butter Flavored Popcorn<\/strong> – contains diacetyl, a chemical that causes a serious lung disease in the factory workers who produce the popcorn<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0 Food Dyes<\/strong> – causes cancer and hyperactivity in children<\/p>\n

14.\u00a0 Chain-Restaurant Ice Cream Sundaes –<\/strong> supersized portions and genetically modified ingredients<\/p>\n

There you have it.\u00a0 Some of the foods really should be avoided altogether.\u00a0 Others should be kept in mind and consumption reduced.\u00a0 A couple seem a bit extreme – avoid ALL bread, ALL white chocolate? Hmmm.\u00a0 A few of the things on the list I hardly ever eat anyway, such as restaurant Ice Cream Sundaes, so I’ll keep it in mind but I doubt that eating one every few years will have much effect on my health!<\/p>\n

Here is the link the to full article.\u00a0 It has resource lists and more details on each food and the expert recommending avoidance:<\/p>\n
