I'm not sure how to say good-bye, but now I have too. Cait, who was a vital part of Back to Basics has been fighting breast cancer of way over a year now. And she fought with color, grace and dignity. She passed away yesterday, and yet that young woman will always be in my heart. Back to Basics will be closed for the next few days, and I so want to thank this community for the support you all have given her and Erin & I.

The countless health benefits of herbal tea turn this beloved beverage into far more than a comforting, delicious drink to enjoy with friends or over a good book! From relieving insomnia, to calming an upset stomach, to fighting viruses and infections, and more, herbal teas have so many powerful health benefits.
For centuries, people in every culture have used herbs and spices to enhance the taste of food and drink - and to help and heal their bodies, as well.
Passed from generation to generation, the wealth of information about the healing powers of herbs and spices for our physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual selves continues to hold true today.

Eat right, sleep tight

Bed-Time snacks anyone?

Eat right, sleep tight Lack of sleep is a common complaint; with only one in 10 of us saying we always get a good night's sleep. Sleeplessness not only leaves you feeling exhausted, but can also end up dampening your moods. What you eat may help, as nutritionist Jo Lewin explains.

BREAKING: USDA Approves GMO non-browning Arctic Apple. These apples are engineered using RNAi gene silencing technology to resist browning when sliced and contain a marker gene for antibiotic resistance to Kanamycin. The USDA received 73,000 comments that overwhelmingly opposed the commercialization of Arctic Apples.

"We are concerned that USDA's safety evaluation of this apple was inadequate, particularly with regard to the health and environmental implications of this particular RNAi technology," said Dr. Michael Hansen, senior scientist at Consumers Union. This technology uses RNA to silence a target gene, but mounting evidence has shown that meddling with the genes could have unintended effects within the plant and also on organisms that eat the plant. The particular genes targeted by this technology allow the apples to be sliced without turning brown, which could mislead consumers into thinking they are eating fresh apples when they might be eating apples on the verge of rotting. The gene silencing also effects the plant’s natural defense against pests and pathogens, which could lead to trees that are less healthy than non-GMO apples and rely on more chemical treatments to ward off pests and disease.

According to Okanagan, the apples will be labeled as Arctic®, but will not be labeled as genetically engineered.Apples are just the beginning: Okanagan Specialty Fruits has also announced plans to introduce genetically engineered peaches, cherries and pears in the near future. BUY ORGANIC.
