I'll have to check this place out sometime!
Comment on Jenn A.'s review of Soy Milk
I've cut out a lot of the forms of soy you mention because soy protein isolate contains/turns into MSG, and MSG is a migraine trigger.
Many of the common food allergies are also migraine triggers. I don't have allergies, but I do get migraines and was very surprised that in addition to red wine and chocolate triggering them, cheese and nuts and my veggie burgers did too!
David Buchoz's book "Heal Your Headache" was a lifesaver to me. It also noted that people who misdiagnose their headaches as allergies (migraine symptoms can include runny nose, watery eyes, and sinus pain) usually end up hurting themselves more--over the counter allergy meds trigger migraines too!
The more I learn, the more amazed I am at how the food we eat affects our quality of life.
Comment on Jessica T.'s review of Tumbler Compost Bin
I still have the same composter, and I still recommend it whole-heartedly! My mom bought a different kind of composter and I definitely prefer mine. You just spin it! That easy! You never have to get out a shovel and move things around.
