My Health and the Health of the Planet: Small Changes with Big Results Individual choice is a vote for your own health as well as the health of the planet. While we may wait years to get lawmakers to agree on what is best for the health of Americans and the health of the planet, you can start the process of change with the decisions you make at home. Real change may be a bottom-up venture. When Americans make decisions that affect economics, lawmakers and corporations will have to listen. Here are changes you can begin to adopt into your own lifestyle. Skip the plastic. Packaging in the form of plastic waste increases our non-biodegradable burden and loads landfills.

Breast Cancer Awareness…Prevention by Dr. Nancy Palermo Lietz, MD Unless you’ve had your head in the sand you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the month of October it is impossible to avoid articles that highlight Breast Cancer and the inordinate number of women who suffer every minute with the diagnosis of this  feared disease. It is said this “awareness” has only added fear without making any measurable difference in the disease.  In Preventative Medicine magazine 80% of women state they are moderately or very afraid of the diagnosis of breast cancer and rate this as one of their greatest fears. Despite these fears, the reality is 90% of women will never get this diagnosis. Breast Cancer Awareness month was established in 1985 by...

Food Preparation and Toxicity: Grilling Nancy A. Palermo MD There is a lot more attention on our food sources and the type of food we eat. We are recognizing the importance of organic, minimally processed foods and their roles in health and disease prevention. It turns out how we cook these foods plays an equally important role. When the weather is favorable many of us cook meals on our outdoor grill. While small amounts of grilling are acceptable research has suggested that meats may form carcinogenic chemicals called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) when charred or cooked over high heat.
