7 FOODS YOU SHOULD NEVER EAT!
WOW!!!! THESE WERE SURPRISING!
Rice Cakes....They may have been touted as the ultimate diet food dring the low-fat/no-fat craze of the late 1980s and 1990s, but don’t be fooled. Rice cakes can have a glycemic index rating as high as 91 (pure glucose has a rating of 100), making it the kind of carbohydrate that will send your blood sugar on a roller coaster ride. This is bad for weight loss and for your health.
Fat-free salad dressings..... are a perfect example of good food gone bad. Salad dressing is the perfect combination of vinegar (which helps control blood sugar) and plant oils (full of essential fatty acids and sometimes antioxidants). However, an irrational fear of dietary fats has forced food companies to mess around with this perfect blend. The resulting fat-free salad dressings have introduced sugar and high fructose corn syrup, un-pronounceable emulsifying agents, and other food science secrets used to make the unnatural seem natural.
Seitan, originally from Asia, is a common meat substitute for vegetarian dishes. Unlike many meat substitutes, seitan is not soy derived but made entirely of wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is a highly allergenic protein that is naturally found only in small amounts in wheat-based products. While there is no research linking seitan intake to increased prevalence of gluten allergies or intolerances, I’m wary that eating a lot of this allergenic protein may trigger development of a more severe gluten allergy or intolerance.
Shark - The risk/benefit ratio of eating fish (the benefits of omega-3 fats vs. the risk of mercury) typically falls in favor of the omega-3 fats and their incredible health effects. Shark is one of the exceptions. Despite having an omega-3 fat content similar to tuna, shark contains almost three times the amount of mercury. Tilefish is another high mercury/low omega-3 fish that should be avoided.
Refined and Re-Fortified Grains - Unfortunately this rules out a majority of the carbohydrates found on supermarket shelves. Refined and re-fortified grains are grain-based foods like certain breakfast cereals, pastas, and rice products that have been refined such that the naturally occurring fiber, vitamins, and minerals have been removed. Companies then replace the fiber and synthetic versions of the vitamins and minerals that were initially removed. Sometimes (and this is really sneaky) they put everything back in naturally occurring ratios so that they can still claim the food contains ‘whole grains’. My suggestion: Just eat the real unfortified stuff in the first place.
Sugar-Sweetened Beverages - If you stop eating only one thing on this list, it should be sugar-sweetened beverages. The empty calories help pad your waistline without offering any sense of satiety or fullness. Plus, simple sugars do an excellent job of lowering your good cholesterol and increasing your triglyceride levels (two risk factors for heart disease). Drinking sugary beverages also promotes disturbances in your body’s inflammatory balance, making it harder to recover from exercise and increasing your risk of numerous chronic diseases.
Grits - Another hyper-refined carbohydrate, grits are the small leftover pieces from corn processing. Nutritionally speaking, grits lack significant amounts of vitamins or minerals. They contain a minute amount of fiber and no essential fats. Their flavor is lacking and thus butter or heavy cream is used to make them palatable, bringing together the blood-vessel-destroying, unholy marriage of simple carbohydrates and saturated fat.
President Obama in the Central Valley Today!
President Obama will be reaching out to Latino voters Monday in a remote corner of California when he dedicates the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument, underscoring their growing importance in presidential politics.
He's slated to make a bit of history when he visits Keene, home to the nation's first site to honor a contemporary Mexican American.
Most polls show Obama is expected to get about 70% of the Latino vote Nov. 6, and some of the country's fastest-growing Latino communities are in hotly contested battleground states such as North Carolina, Nevada, Virginia and Florida.
The public is advised that there will be a lot of traffic in the area Highway 58 at Mill Street on Monday morning because the Capital Hills area north of the highway is being used as a parking lot and shuttle boarding area.
President Barack Obama will be in the area to announce the establishment of the César E. Chávez National Monument. According Jack Gotcher, director of Kern County Airports, the president will land at about 9 a.m. Monday at Meadows Field Airport. Details about how he will get from Bakersfield to Keene have not been released.
Attendees are told they will be transported the approximately 10 miles to Keene and should expect to remain there the entire day, perhaps as late as 5 p.m.

HOLLYWOOD DIRT:
Lady Gaga pukes on stage during Barcelona concert
Lady Gaga put Justin Bieber to shame this weekend ... barfing MULTIPLE TIMES on stage during a concert in Spain .... WITHOUT MISSING A STEP!!!!
Gaga was in the middle of her hit "Edge of Glory," when she bends over with her back to the stage and starts blowin' chunks ... and then immediately pulls herself together and starts dancing again!
Seconds later, she bends over again and pukes again ... and then a 3rd time ... before stepping right back into her routine like nothing happened.
After the show, Gaga tweeted about the vomit-athon ... even posting a link to the clip with the line, "Was praying nobody saw but actually its quite a good laugh if u need one!"
Pa pa pa puker face. Don't worry...you don't need to see it...really....
The FBI and the LAPD have launched a joint investigation into the suspicious package that was addressed to Bristol Palin at "Dancing with the Stars" this week, TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us both agencies are taking the package's threat very seriously and are looking into the possibility that the latest incident is connected to the white powder scare back in 2010.
As we reported, a package containing a white powdery substance was opened on the CBS lot in West Hollywood Wednesday, addressed to Bristol. The package also contained a note, demanding Bristol be removed from the show ... or else.
Initial tests in the field revealed the powder was not harmful ... just like in 2010, when a suspicious letter was sent to CBS containing a similar threat about Bristol.
