New Thinking on Cancer Treatments

I am such a believer in the healing power of foods, and I found the following video fascinating. William Li, head of the Angiogenic Foundation, recently spoke for TED.com.

I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with superfoods and raw foods lately, especially raw cacao powder and raw coconut products like coconut butter/oil, coconut water, coconut milk, and coconut flour. Yum! I never knew I liked coconut so much until I started trying raw desserts here in NYC. Many raw and vegan desserts [...]

Farmer’s Market – 97th Street NYC

I went to pick up groceries at the Uptown Whole Foods last Friday, and I came across a small farmer’s market right around the corner, on 97th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam.
