poly anything. and most foods that have more than 3 ingredients.
2 :
Two of the worst ones that seem to be at the top of most nutritionist are hydrogenated oil (as in margarine) believe it or not you're better off with real butter, followed by high fructose corn syrup.
3 :
you want to consume as little chemicals in your food as possible from all sources. this is why a truly healthy diet has to be based on whole foods. whole foods are those that are naturally occurring like animal proteins, grains, fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. heavily processed foods made by man in giant factories come loaded with various chemicals and additives which do nothing except cause illness and disease

Is genetically modified (GM) food/products extremely dangerous to human health

Is genetically modified (GM) food/products extremely dangerous to human health?
I've been somewhat obsessed to the relationship between human over-population and GM foods. I'm overly convinced that GM foods cause cancer, and the FDA is just a smoke screen pretending to be our "guardians". In regards to organic food: the soil has already been "tainted" by various chemicals, so are those specific foods actually organic? I think not.

The jury is out on frankenfoods and almost everything has that corn and soy in the processed. So try to eat whole foods, but even potatoes had been part of the first test. Fish genes were added to the genetic mix so the potatoes wouldn't freeze. But if you were allergic to fish, and ate such a potato you could get sick. We have to eat something, oatmeal and raisins are ok. It's scary but we have to eat so avoid the fast food and junk food and stay with whole food. Even the chickens that lay the eggs are eating things we would prefer they didn't but the eggs are ok. Overpopulation is not the criteria I look at, it's disease like cancer that grows for a long time before overwhelming the system. The jury is out deciding and the answer so far is potentially hazardous, not extremely. The FDa uses words like generally recognized as safe. Soil comes back after a few years of restoration

What is the best kind of food to feed a St. Bernard to keep him in good health

What is the best kind of food to feed a St. Bernard to keep him in good health?
We feed him Beneful and he seems to like it, and he is fit, not fat. Is this a decent food to feed, or is there something better?

There is something better, there are actually a lot of foods better than Beneful. Innova and Canidae are probably the best you'll be able to find.... Here is an interesting dog food review website: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/
2 :
i dont know where your from but there is a complete fod called ROYAL CANINE and it specialises in every breed,try it! ; )
3 :
I highly recommend http://www.frrco.com/121668 and their fish and chips formula. It's human grade, baked ingredients which is highly digestible. You also feed 1/2 as much as what the local stores carry, because of the quality ingredients. This means the cost will be relatively the same, just a little higher per feeding. Grocery and pet store carried brands carry a lot of preservatives, fillers, sugar, and by products that can lead to health and behavior problems. Beneful is not that great...I used it before doing the research and switching to the Fish and Chips formula I recommended. Be sure that if you switch, you do so gradually. More old food with less new food, then increase the new and decrease the old until the dog is completely on the new food. If you switch from a food like Beneful to a higher quality like the one I mentioned, give it a couple of months for the dog to get accustomed to it, as they will "detox" the sugars, preservatives, fillers and by products in their system. They may shed more and have a dull coat during this period, but then their skin and coat will be healthier than ever! And they will also poop less with a higher quality food, since more is digested. Good luck! St. Bernards are beautiful!

Personally I would feed him the local children who come trick-or-treating.
5 :
Iams is much better because my dog doctor told me that foods that have color in it and things like that arent good because they added in other stuff in it which is not good.

for a otc 'remedy' (like a health food store) a good colon cleanser

for a otc 'remedy' (like a health food store) a good colon cleanser?
with the different 'herbs' out there what is a good colon cleanser?

You don't need a colon cleanser unless you're shoving dirt in there. Your body does a good job of ridding the waste all on its own.
2 :
Do not get a colonic to clean your colon. This will get rid of the good bacteria in your intestine that you need for good health. It is difficult to replenish these bacteria after a colon cleanse and it is not recommended. The best way to keep your colon clean is to use psyllium. This will loosen the debris that is compacted there. Don't listen to the uneducated or simply ignorant people that tell you that you don't need to clean your colon, especially if you eat the American diet and follow the "Food Pyramid." A good product on the market that contains psyllium and other herbs for cleansing can be found at: www.healthline.cc (not .com) or call: (310) 320 - 1123 and order: Colon Cleanse. This really works and does not cause you any side effects like so many of the other products on the market do. Take 5 capsules in the morning and 5 at night for 3 months. You will grow to love what it does for you and I have found that most people loose about 15 pounds in the 3 month period. Most people find that years of debris build up comes out over the time period. You should also purchase from the same company, their probiotic. Take one in the morning and one in the evening. good luck to you
3 :
Water is the best cleanser for the body in general. Furthermore, you don't have to worry about side effects. However, increasing fiber in your diet may help.
4 :
I recommend room temperature coffee. It cleanses the liver and is recommended for a variety of issues. Cheap and readily available also.
5 :
insoluble fibre... metamucil is an orange flavoured drink that has psyllium husk in it which bulks up the stool what you spend on metamucil, you will save on toilet paper :) try a big glass (500ml) with a dessert spoon of metamucil - once per daily... great stuff... you will appreciate good a poo can feel. it is not a stimulant laxative, so it is quite safe. alternatively you can get psyllium husk from a health food store and put it on your cereal

i don't know who it was, but think about it, he's right. it has many food groups in it, especially if you have the right toppings: bread/grain (dough), dairy (cheese), meat (pepperoni, canadian bacon, etc.), veggies (mushrooms, olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc) and fruit (pineapple). its pretty much a balanced meal in one
