Food Review: Nature's Path Envirokidz products

Nature's Path, a family owned and operated company, has been selling high quality organic food since 1985 (source: http://us.naturespath.com/about/our-roots). One of their product lines is called Envirokidz. Envirokidz gluten free cereal and snack items, is geared toward children and families afflicted with Celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

Kids that are missing their sugary cereals can indulge in yummy gluten free cereals, such as "Leapin' Lemurs (peanut butter and chocolate cereal)," "Gorilla Munch," "Koala Crisps (cocoa crispies)," Lightly Frosted Amazon Flakes," and "Panda Puffs (peanut butter cereal)." Along with their delicious line of cereal, Envirokidz has a line of snack food: "Peanut Choco Drizzle Crispy Rice Bar," "Chocolate Crisp Rice Bar," and "Berry Blast Crispy Rice Bar." Not only will kids enjoy these delicious snack bars and cereals, adults will love them as well!

All Envirokidz products are USDA certified organic, and certified gluten free. These products can be found in your local supermarket, and online, at a reasonable price.

As a 30-something woman that is a kid at heart, I enjoy these products. I highly recommend this product line to all my fellow Celiacs, and those who are gluten intolerant.

In closing, I'd like to add that a portion of the proceeds go to environmental education, endangered species, and habitat conservation (source: http://us.naturespath.com/about/movements/envirokidz-initiatives).
So, when you purchase these items, you can be assured that your money is going to a couple of great causes.

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers.

Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about.

A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i

Celiac Women At a Decreased Risk for Hormone-Related Cancers.

When it comes to Celiac Disease, there really are not many benefits to the disease. However, research has shown that women, who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are at a lower risk for hormone-related cancers, which include Endometrial, Breast, and Ovarian Cancers. Women with Celiac Disease are 15% less likely to develop Breast Cancer, 40% less likely to develop Endometrial Cancer, and 11% less like to develop Ovarian Cancer. Researchers believe that this is due to a decreased level of female hormones that promote reproductive Cancers.
