Cancer Diary: CEREAL??

 


There's been some concern about certain cereals containing trace amounts of glyphosate, an herbicide used in weed killers like Roundup. Some studies and organizations, such as the Environmental Working Group (EWG), have found levels of glyphosate in cereals like Cheerios that exceed their recommended safe limits. Glyphosate has been classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, but other regulatory bodies, like the EPA and FDA, have determined that the levels found in food are unlikely to pose a significant cancer risk.

Still, if you are concerned, be aware that Cheerios, Rice Krispies, and other popular cereals  have glyphosates.

However, here are some cereals that are known to be free of glyphosate:

  1. Nature's Path - Their cereals, including EnviroKidz and Organics, are certified organic and glyphosate-free.

  2. Cascadian Farm - Offers a variety of organic cereals that are free from glyphosate.

  3. One Degree Organic Foods - Their cereals are made from organic, non-GMO ingredients and are glyphosate-free.

  4. Go Raw - Known for their organic granolas that are free from harmful chemicals.

  5. Grandy Oats - Offers organic oatmeal and granola that are free from glyphosate.

  6. Zego - Their oatmeal and muesli products are certified organic and glyphosate-free.

These brands focus on organic and non-GMO ingredients, ensuring that their products are free from harmful herbicides like glyphosate.

Blog editor's note: As a memorial to Carl, and simply because it is truly needed, MSI Press is now hosting a web page, Carl's Cancer Compendium, as a one-stop starting point for all things cancer, to make it easier for those with cancer to find answers to questions that can otherwise take hours to track down on the Internet and/or from professionals. The CCC is expanded and updated weekly. As part of this effort, each week, on Monday, this blog will carry an informative, cancer-related story -- and be open to guest posts: Cancer Diary.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over t...

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen. Book Marketing Book marketing includes promotion, sales, and increasing awareness of the availability of the book. It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing ...
