Salmon, I Love It, But Is It Good For You?

According to Scientific Reports, Salmon contains a dangerous amount of microplastics.

However, not every variety of this staple seafood is as healthy as you might think. In fact, there’s one major reason why you shouldn’t eat certain types of salmon: in doing so, you could be consuming a shocking amount of dangerous microplastics along the way.

While it was once believed that microplastics—tiny fragments of plastic measuring less than 5 mm in length, which are a major source of contamination in waterways—remained only in the gut of marine creatures, a 2017 study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that microplastics are easily discovered in the fleshy portions of fish frequently consumed by humans.

Keeping It Past Its Expirations Date? Maybe You Shouldn’t

The foods you can and can’t keep past their expiration date (msn.com)

Slide 1 of 23: You’re making a coffee and get a full carton of milk out of the fridge only to realize it’s past its expiration date. Do you risk it? It is a whole carton. What should you do? Here we explain what food and drink you should always throw out after its expiration and those it's perfectly fine to still eat.
Slide 4 of 23: Homemade whipped cream should be eaten quickly, not because it could make you sick but because it will lose its texture and no longer be fresh. After being kept in the fridge for a day it will lose its form and become a runny liquid with little flavor. Unwhipped, heavy cream should last around 10 days in the fridge according to the USDA's FoodKeeper App.
Slide 8 of 23: Ground beef is much more likely to cause food poisoning than a lump of steak, as bacteria like E. coli, salmonella or staphylococcus aureus on the outside can get mixed all the way through when the beef is ground. Good refrigeration and consuming within one to two days will mean bacterial numbers don't get out of hand so do take note of the use by date. But most critical is cooking until no pink bits remain (as pictured).
Slide 11 of 23: Soft cheese is a prime breeding ground for listeria, so soft cheeses shouldn't be consumed beyond their use by date. Consume undated soft cheeses from the deli section within one to two weeks. Throw away any soft cheese that grows mold at any stage. This also applies to blue cheese and cheeses like brie with a white mold on the outside. The USDA says any mold that is not part of the manufacturing process can be dangerous.
Slide 13 of 23: You can keep bread until you see any mold growing on the surface, but then it's time to throw it out. You may just be tempted to cut out the mold, but as bread is a porous food it may be contaminated below the surface with bacteria you can't see. Take a look at these hacks to make food and drink last longer
Slide 17 of 23: In one famous study, scientists opened a 40-year-old can of corn and found that the vegetable looked and smelled perfectly fresh, with nutrition values little changed. While really old cans are probably fine, a rule of thumb is not to stretch beyond 18 months for high-acid canned goods, like tomatoes and grapefruit, or five years for low-acid canned goods (pretty much everything else). Never eat from a can that’s bulging, badly dented or leaky. Take a look at these brilliant recipes made with canned foods

Poem

One by MwsR

One breath,

Just one breath could be your last

Your last of everything, just that fast.

One thought,

Just one thought could make or break you

Make or break your spirit or lift it, it’s true.

One excuse,

Just one excuse can keep you from something great,

Something great or needed, before it’s too late.

One chance,

Just one chance can impact those around you,

Those around you, that are blue.

One word,

Just one word that cannot be taken back

Cannot be taken back, and that will impact.

One heartbreak,

Just one heartbreak that does internal damage

Internal damage and gives you baggage.

One moment of silence,

One moment that could bring clarity,

Bring clarity despite your calamity.

One person,

Just one person can do a lot,

A lot to help, to give, and some will not!
