America’s #1 Selling Detox Product

Many children’s snacks marketed as healthy alternatives are actually full of unhealthy ingredients like sugar, salt and fat, according to an analysis conducted by the consumer watchdog organization, “Which?”

“Parents should be able to pick out healthy products for their kids’ lunchboxes, but what you see isn’t always what you get,” said the group’s Martyn Hocking.

“Many [products] declare that they don’t contain additives, but don’t mention they’re also full of salt or sugar – giving the impression they’re healthier than they are,” the report reads.

For example, while Dairylea Lunchables Ham ‘n’ Cheese Crackers are advertised as providing half of the recommended daily calcium for a child, nowhere on the label or in promotional materials does the company acknowledge that the product is high in fat, saturated fat and salt — containing 1.8 grams of the maximum daily recommended 3 grams of the latter.

The report also singles out Kellogg’s Frosties Cereal and Milk bars, which the company promotes by saying, “”Fortified with vitamins, iron and calcium, now you can give your kids a great tasting snack that you can be sure won’t come back from school in the lunchbox!” Yet the company does not explain that the bars contain seven different sugar ingredients and thus are nearly one-third sugar by weight.

Other supposedly healthy products that are actually high in sugar include Robinson’s Fruit Shoot orange juice drinks, with nearly five teaspoons (23 grams) or sugar in a single 200 milliliter bottle; Fruit Factory fruit strings, with 13.7 grams of sugar in a 24 gram product; and Munch Bunch Double Up fromage frais, which contain only 2.25 grams of fruit puree but more than two teaspoons (12.4 grams) of sugar.

“The best way to beat the lunchbox baddies is by checking the nutrition and ingredient information,” Hocking said. “We’d also like to see the rules on health and nutrition claims made tougher, so there’s less confusion on the supermarket shelves.”

This is why the government is pushing for more control on everything in the food and nutrition industry.

Coughing is an action by the body to get rid of substances that are irritating the air passages ways. A cough is usually initiated to clear the phlegm that is been caught in the trachea or its neighboring areas.

Frequent or continuous chronic coughing usually is seen when there is some presence of a  disease. If the patient is a non-smoker and has a normal chest  X-ray, the cause of chronic cough in most of all the patients is due to  asthma, reflux (heartburn) or  post-nasal drip.

Some other causes that contribute to chronic cough, include chronic  bronchitis  and medications like as  ACE inhibitors. Coughing occurs both voluntarily as well as involuntarily.

Coughing is one of the ways of protecting the respiratory system, by clearing it of irritants and secretions. Coughs are either dry or productive. Dry cough usually does not bring up a mixture of mucus, irritants, and other substances from the lungs (sputum), while a productive cough brings up both.

If the cough is caused by bacteria then it may be gray, greenish or brown due to the presence of sputum in it. An allergy or viral infection cough produces a white colored sputum. In extremely serious conditions, the sputum may contain blood (possibly a cancer condition).

Environmental pollutants, such as cigarette smoke, dust, or smog, are also assumed to trigger a cough. In cigarette smokers, the nicotine present in the smoke is proved to paralyze the hairs of the nose (cilia) that perform the activity of regularly flushing of the mucus from the respiratory system. Since the mucus now builds up, it forces the body of its removal by coughing. Avoid smoking and coming in direct contact with people who smoke or who suffer from cold or flu symptoms.

Post-nasal drip, or the irritating trickle of mucus from the nasal passages into the throat, which is caused by allergies or sinusitis, can also be one of the contributing factors for generating a cough.

Some of the common chronic diseases, like asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis, are mostly characterized in part by a cough.

A condition in which stomach acid backs up into the esophagus (gastro esophageal reflux) can cause coughing, especially when a person is lying down. this should not be mistaken as a cough caused by disease. Sometimes a cough can also be a side-effect of medications that are administered with an inhaler. Many times, drugs used for treating high blood pressure can also cause side effects of cough, like the beta blockers and some ACE inhibitors.

It is important to identify and treat the origin of the disease, along with the cough that resulted. Wash hands at frequent times and especially during episodes of upper-respiratory illnesses.
