Check out this link on my website. There is a PDF 2 page document from Nature's Emporium that explains which oils should be used for which cooking, what is best for high heat and it also explains what happens if you use the wrong ones!
Don't loose the health benefits of your oils by using the wrong ones. Be informed.
Print it off and keep it in your kitchen

Food Sensitivity Testing on my 4yr old DONE!
What a cool experience! Abby did really well at being patient and holding still and Marlene is wonderful and patient with children for sure. She was telling me that she tests MANY children and its more and more common for parents to be doing food testing to figure out a child's stomach issues, irritability issues, and many more things.
So how it works is you hold a brass rod in your right hand which is attached to a special machine then Marlene touches the fingers on your left hand in certain spots and it makes funny noises! Abby thought they sounded like a fire truck so that was fun. She felt nothing at all but did get bored. She watched a movie for a bit then I read some books to her so that helped. I would bring books to read or movies cause it can be long, we took a few breaks. I had to bribe Abby with sushi dinner to finish the last little bit. I would recommend if you are taking a child to do it earlier on in the day, Abby was very tired which was probably the hardest part for her.
So as far as her results, whatever she has a sensitivity to she REALLY has a sensitivity too. She didn't have many mild sensitivities, she was quite intolerant to a few things. Her list goes as follows;
2) Cow's Cheese
3) Food Additives , chemicals & dyes
4) Grains- barley, white and whole wheat
5) Chocolate
6) Eggplant
7)Ketchup- which apparently 90% of people she tests have!!
8)Peanut
9)Sodium Nitrate
10)Sodium Nitrite
11)Whey
2)Sorbitol
3)Fructose
4)Rye
5)White Potato
6)White sugar
7)Pear
8)Peach
9)Watermelon
10)Cantaloupe
11)Chili Powder
12)Green Pepper
So needless to say, I wasn't surprised by the wheat because that was something we had figured out through process of elimination but i was VERY surprised by the Cow's Milk and Cheese. The interesting thing is though that cow's yogurt it totally fine for her! Which is good cause she loves her yogurt!
Marlene was a wonderful lady and very knowledgeable and great with Abby. She has been practising for over 20yrs and I would recommend people go see her if you have any indication that you or your children have food "issues", this can include allergies as well. Many foods can trigger other reactions in your body than stomach aches, I have heard of allergies and asthma for example that have been attributed to food allergies or intolerance's.

Ontario Milk Regulations- Should we buy organic milk?
Check out the website below as it explains the regulations in Canada against Growth Hormone as well as when a cow gets sick and has to give antibiotics, what happens to its milk while its give the medication. Should we buy organic or are these regulations enough to protect us against excess estrogen and other hormones in our milk?
http://www.dairygoodness.ca/100-percent-canadian-milk/from-farm-to-table/at-the-farm
I might be missing something but it looks like, in Canada at least, we have very tight Dairy Regulations to protect us from ingesting an hormones or antibiotics from the cows. So why should I spend double the price for organic milk when the "regular/traditional" milk is fine?!
Discussions welcome!!

Sensitivity testing in children
My 4.5yr old is having frequent tummy aches, this has been happening for at least 6-8months. At least that's how long she's be telling us. We've been trying the narrow down what could be triggering it and it seems to be a "bread" issue. She would never eat much of her sandwiches for lunch at school and her choice for lunch is salad! What 4yr old takes salad to JK?! Love it! Usually if you ask her what she wants for a meal it involves veggies, hummus, eggs, meat...but never breads. If you give her pizza she'll eat the toppings off, if you give her a sandwich she'll take it apart and eat whats inside. So it has been quite easy to narrow down what is bothering her but we want to know 100%.
I have booked her in to have her intolerance tested next Friday with a lady in Newmarket. She is a nurse practitioner & holistic nutritionist. This testing is very non-invasive, its probes on finger tips, Bio Impiedance Analysis so you don't feel anything and the #'s that the machine reports are compared to norms and then you have your intolerances. The list is HUGE, so its very interesting to see what your body reacts to and what to avoid. I have had many clients have this testing done and it's been very eye opening and very accurate!
I'll keep you posted on results next week for sure.
If you'd like more information in this testing feel free to contact me and I'll send you the contact information for our practitioner.
