article 2: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119012955962931134.html?mod=health_home_stories
These two articles both deal with health issues. The second article is about a recall done on Dole salad mix. There have been so many recalls on food lately. Last year with the big spinach scare, the whole Taco Bell thing, now salad mix has been found with E. coli. It's hard to know when food is safe to eat. It's really a scary thing if you think about it. You go to the grocery store and buy produce which you would think would be healthy and turns out it has E. coli and you die from it or get extremely sick. How scary is that?
Article 1 isn't about a recall or food tainted with bacteria. It's actually talking about a study that scientists have done to prove that foods and drinks with additives are causing children to have symptoms similar to those of ADHD. The study tested 300 children and gave them two drinks: one with additives and one without. The study showed that when the children drank the juice with additives, they had more hyperactivity. I'm thinking duh! the juice with the additives has sugar whereas the other one does not. Hello! obviously if a kid has a lot of sugar they are going to be more hyper than if they didn't. I don't think that is rocket science.
The two articles really don't have much in common. But then again when you look at it, it shows how important little things can be. Little decisions affect your daily life. A small bag of salad mix, a little bottle of juice...They all have major affects on your life. It's important to think about what you are consuming and what you are putting into your body.

i know what you mean. we have to be so careful about the stuff we eat cuz usually the small ingredients like MSG or tiny calories can make us sick or fat. Im saying this even though I just ate a ton of stuff at the mid-south fair most of which i had no idea what they were made of. Oh and what was the "Taco Bell thing" you mentioned?
Ugh, food is so disgusting. I wish I could afford to eat organic food everytime I ate. And yeah, what was the Taco Bell thing??
like last year they found e.coli in the meat at a bunch of taco bells around the country...nasty...but i still eat there. and im goin to the fair tomorrow! cant wait to eat the food...lol!
