Chemicals under my kitchen sink:
There's draino for the bathroom, furniture polish, unopened kaboom, window cleaner, and lysol all purpose cleaner. The one that I use the most is the lysol all purpose cleaner. I use it for the stove, counter tops, table,and bathroom. Even then, I try to just wipe crumbs and things with a rag and water, unless its something that is sticky or dealing with raw meat. The rest aren't really used so they stay under the sink.
Mediterranean diet 'better than low fat diet' for cardiovascular risk
I think this is an excellent article! It's very interesting because it goes against what society sees. Rather than focusing on just no or low fat foods, the Mediterranean diet is based on increasing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pasta, and fish and just eating less meat and vegetable and plant oils. Reduced cholesterol levels doesn't mean reduce cardiovascular disease. This whole diet is more beneficial because it provides monosaturated fats that actually lower cholesterol. However, I feel that people would rather eat "easy" foods that are pre-packaged and labeled low fat versus eating whole foods. More because of the convenience and cost factor.
I agree with you that the Mediterranean diet is more beneficial. It is a better all around diet that provides the nutrients the body needs. Convenience and money are a big problem when it comes to the American diet. It is much easier to get processed food that you can just microwave. And you can find many processed things that say fat free. Also the processed less healthy foods are much more affordable then good vegetables, fruits, fish, ect.
