Summary

A reference for decoding what those mysterious ingredients are—and how they may affect you: “The definitive guide for the health-conscious shopper.” —Robert H. Lerman, MD, PhD 
 
Here’s a tongue twister: Say cochineal extract, diacetyl, tertiary butylhydroquinone, BHA, HFCS, and MSG. It's not just knowing how to pronounce what’s in your food that’s important, it's knowing what it does and how it can affect you. The average American consumes about 150 pounds of food additives per year. With so many processed foods on the supermarket shelves, it can be hard to navigate the waters to an additive-free diet. 
 
A-Z Guide to Food Additives helps you change the way you eat and shop—providing heart-healthy tips while helping you avoid undesirable food additives. Also, you’ll get the rundown on which additives do no harm and may even be nutritious. This “additive translator” lets you head down to your grocery store with a grocery list in one hand and your newfound knowledge in the other. 
 
A-Z Guide to Food Additives delivers:Essential nutrition adviceHints on what to look for when reading those unreadable ingredient labelsTips on buying fresh produce in order to avoid pesticidesInformation on ingredients that can contribute to headaches, bloating, breathing difficulties, and other problemsSafety ratings for 300 ingredientsReference charts for additives that may cause cancer or allergic reactions, or should be limited for sodium-sensitive people

    "Which seeds will you be eating first? There are so many to choose from! Seeds have been and continue to be some of the most nutrient-dense foods available. They serve a variety of purposes, improve your health, and make a tasty addition to any meal. Seeds are high in fiber, low in sugar, contain essential fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. All of these work together to boost your cardiovascular health, manage blood sugar levels, improve cellular health, and aid digestion. Some of these seeds contain high amounts of specific nutrients that serve other purposes such as increasing fertility or preventing cancers. With so many benefits in a spoonful of seeds, adding them to your diet shouldn’t be a question at all. As with any food, seeds can cause adverse reactions. Use the information in this book to understand what could happen, and always talk to a medical professional if you are uncertain about whether adding seeds to your diet is right for you. Introducing any new food to your body takes time, so don’t rush into eating a bunch of seeds on day one. This will only cause digestive discomfort and might put you off using seeds in the future. It is much better to introduce one type of seed at a time, and only consume a small amount (about a teaspoon) for several days before you build up to larger daily amounts. If you do want to get the benefit from multiple seeds, then purchase a mixed bag, and add them to your diet."

    Capital Beer - A Heady History...

    An effervescent history of beer brewing in the American capital city.Imagine the jubilation of thirsty citizens in 1796 when the Washington Brewery—the city’s first brewery—opened. Yet the English-style ales produced by the early breweries in the capital and in nearby Arlington and Alexandria sat heavy on the tongue in the oppressive Potomac summers. By the 1850s, an influx of German immigrants gave a frosty reprieve to their new home in the form of light but flavorful lagers. Brewer barons like Christian Heurich and Albert Carry dominated the taps of city saloons until production ground to a halt with the dry days of Prohibition. Only Heurich survived, and when the venerable institution closed in 1956, Washington, D.C., was without a brewery for fifty-five years. Author and beer scholar Garrett Peck taps this high-gravity history while introducing readers to the bold new brewers leading the capital’s recent craft beer revival.“Why’d it take us [DC’s brewing culture] so long to get back on the wagon? Capital Beer will answer all your questions in the endearing style of your history buff friend who you can’t take to museums (in a good way!).” —DCist“In brisk and lively prose Peck covers 240 years of local brewing history, from the earliest days of British ale makers through the influx of German lagermeisters and up to the present-day craft breweries. . . . Richly illustrated with photographs both old and new, as well as a colorful collection of her art, Capital Beer is almost as much fun to read as “sitting in an outdoor beer garden and supping suds with friends over a long, languid conversation.”” —The Hill Rag
