Raw Raw Shish-Ke-Bob

Written by NG

The raw food revolution has been around a lot longer than you might think, maybe forever, as some raw foodists like to point out, since mankind was out roaming the earth in search of sustenance way before the microwave oven existed. A rapacious opportunivore myself, I admit I cultivate a certain skepticism toward the array of exotically-packaged esoterica on the “Raw Foods” shelf at my local health food store. Products that seem to lose sight of the fact that raw food is just food — and... Read more...

Rx: Aspirin and Pain Relievers

Written by savasthi

Remember that old medical line about taking two aspirins and calling the doc in the morning? Well, it seems that taking two aspirins could lead to far more trips to the doctor's office than previously thought. Aspirin — along with other over-the-counter drugs, including Tylenol, ibuprofin, and others — may not be the (nearly) harmless talismans that many of us believe. Nowadays, before reaching for an aspirin or Tylenol to take care of a raging headache or an injured muscle, I... Read more...

A new study released in October suggests that maternal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) could eliminate or decrease the sex difference in certain behavioral responses. The study adds to a growing evidence to suggest that exposure to BPA affects behaviors or the brain among others. [More at lime.com/health] Read more...

La Sagrada Familia

Written by AbigailLewis

Constantly racing to meet deadlines — getting things finished within a timeline come hell or high water — is a relatively new phenomenon in human history. When the Egyptians built pyramids, they expected the process to take decades. In setting sail for the new world, Columbus knew it would take considerably longer than the few hours now required to travel from Europe to North America. And when Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí was commissioned in 1883 to complete La Sagrada... Read more...

Put Me In Coach

Written by jride

By Stephen Krcmar It’s a hot, sunny day in Los Angeles, but I’m sitting in air conditioning-crazy Starbucks, freezing my frijoles off and looking for answers. Since my life coach hasn’t shown up yet, I look elsewhere — to the LA Times astrology pages. Pisces: You may think you know why someone does what he does, but you can’t be sure. Therefore, stay within your own boundaries and concern yourself with your own interests. Ah, my own interests — this is what I spoke... Read more...

Hunter Gatherer

By Alastair Bland They rise like periscopes from another world: wild mushrooms. Things of beauty, gourmet temptation and just a pinch of malice, fungi have the power to capture the imagination and draw the captivated from their beds to scour the nearest woods in the cold, creaky hours before dawn. It’s this allure that brings Todd Spanier and me to Golden Gate Park one morning in late September. A promising fog drips from the treetops as I follow Spanier through the pine and... Read more...

Interviews by Jenny Rough It’s heee-eere: November. If you’re anxiously anticipating cold dark days, nasty bugs, dry skin and the packing on of the dreaded holiday pounds, take heart (and a spoonful of cod liver oil). We brought together seven holistic practitioners to pick their brains on everything from fighting the flu to battling the winter blues. So this season, when the guy in the adjacent cubical sneezes, instead of cringing, rest assured… and hand him this article. To Flu... Read more...

Wineology

By E.B. Boyd With the holidays around the corner, earth-wise hosts and hostesses with the mostest are in party-planning mode. But when it comes to picking the most sustainable wines, the choice isn’t as straightforward as most harried hosts would like. The old rule of thumb — look for products labeled “organic” — doesn’t work on the wine shelf. Federal regulators only allow that label for foods free of synthetic additives. Many winemakers, however, still add sulfites to their... Read more...

How Hatred Transforms Your Brain

Written by jride
10/30/2008
When you see somebody you hate, whether it's an evil ex or a mean colleague, your brain undergoes a rather unexpected transformation. A new study published in PLoS One today reveals that hatred isn't the blind, irrational emotion it might seem. In fact, hate activates the brain regions associated with higher reason and the ability to predict what other people will do. [More at lime.com/balance] Read more...
