"Forget SUV's and tractor-trailers -- The worlds livestock play
a larger role in global warming than all of our planes, trains
and automobiles combined (According to LEAD). Livestock
contribute 18 percent of greenhouse gases." Source:

Studies done by the
IPCC has stated that when averaged
over 100 years each kilogram of <unburned> CH4 (methane
gas) warms the Earth 25 times as much as the same mass of
CO2. hamburgers eaten three times per week by the average
American are cited as the highest single source of greenhouse
gases, surpassing all SUV's on the road by 200 million metric
tons of airborne pollution. No mention has been made of how
much
methane we humans Emmit in copious amounts from
the gas or feces we produce by consumption of ice burg
lettuce in hamburgers or salads in these studies, however.
.
Folklore on the above subject makes the
connection between
ice burg lettuce and heartburn
as well as the flatulence
associated with consumption of that food. Romaine and
Green Leaf Lettuce are cited as tasty alternatives for those
who's bodies are polluted by and are subjected to the pain
caused by ice burg lettuce.

Ragweed Allergy
New studies show that climate
change is making ragweed allergies
worse than ever.
Source: Medical Alert by
Merck & Co., Inc.

Ragweed-allergy sufferers may
have a related condition known as
"oral allergy syndrome." Eating
certain foods can suddenly magnify
symptoms , a reaction known as
"cross reactivity."
Research has
pinpointed the following triggers:
bananas, melons, cucumber,
zucchini, sunflower seeds,
chamomile tea, and encinacea.

Those affected will feel their mouth
and throat itch or have mild
swelling of the lip.

Traditional relief for ragweed allergy
includes antihistamine, nasal sprays
and decongestants. Many doctors
recommend that sufferers start
treatment 10 to 14 days before
the allergy season begins.
Scientists are also working on immunotherapy and possibly
even an
anti-ragweed allergy vaccine. Meanwhile, keep up to
date about the ragweed pollution index online with the
American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology's
(AAAAI) Aeroallergen Network     . If counts are high, avoid
prolonged exposure by keeping your windows closed at home
and in your car, avoiding areas where ragweed grows and
staying indoors. After being outdoors change and launder
clothing and take a full body and hair cleansing shower.
