FST Web site top Dishing Up -white
March is upon us already! Flip a pancake or two on the 5th March for Shrove Tuesday, (Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent). Pancakes are traditionally eaten on this day, included in this newsletter are a few different pancake recipes for you to try. March 17th is St Patrick's Day. One thing that the Irish and failsafe have in common is lots of potatoes!

Easter is not until April, but it's great to be prepared! Included are some links of where to buy Easter treats on-line and one of them has a deadline for orders. So don't leave it to the last minute! Lots of chocolate and treats flow freely around Easter time. Knowing where to purchase suitable treats is handy so you can have a few things up your sleeves for yourself or your family. Anything to help make this time of year less stressful. Next month we will include more recipes you can make at home for Easter.

Fed Up Fact Sheet:

320 BHA and other antioxidants

Most people think antioxidants are beneficial, and this is true for antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E. However, there are two groups of synthetic antioxidants that can cause nasty side effects: gallates and synthetic antioxidants tBHQ, BHA and BHT. These additives are used in prevent rancidity in fats and oils.

Synthetic antioxidants are widely eaten yet usually overlooked. A small number of consumers react to a single dose, but it is more likely that effects will build up from small doses eaten nearly every day. These additives can be associated with the full range of food intolerance reactions such as irritability, restlessness and difficulty falling asleep; mood swings, anxiety, depression, panic attacks; inattention, difficulty concentrating or debilitating fatigue; eczema, urticaria, contact dermatitis (from cosmetics etc) and other itchy skin rashes; reflux, sneaky poos, bloating, abdominal pain, stomach aches and other irritable bowel symptoms including constipation; headaches or migraines; frequent colds, flu, bronchitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis; stuffy or runny nose, throat clearing, cough or asthma; joint pain and arthritis.
