Why use powders over capsules?
by @ Custom Probiotics Canada: Latest News
Wed Dec 31 11:00:00 PST 2014
Powders allow you to vary your dosage very easily. You can take as little or much as you personally require this way. For example, some of our clients use a baby scoop of powder a day which is about 30 – 40 billion CFU. Others take up to 4 adult scoops a day, that’s about 1.2 Trillion CFU a day! That would be about 15 capsules!
So if you want to take a high amount of CFU, we would suggest trying the powders. They also cost less per CFU compared to the capsules.
Below is one of our popular powders we recommend starting with.

Are there antibiotics and growth hormones in Canadian milk?
by @ [BCDairy] News or Article
Tue May 16 14:29:05 PDT 2017
No. 100% No. Canadian milk does not contain artificial growth hormones or antibiotics.
Maybe you’re hedging your bets and substituting alternative beverages on occasion. Well, you might be relieved to know that
- Canadian dairy farmers do not use growth hormones and
- They always ensure their milk is free of antibiotics.
While the administration of growth hormones (known as rBST or rBGH) is allowed in US dairy livestock, it is illegal in Canada and therefore not permitted for use with any dairy cows.
Antibiotics
As for antibiotics, BC has some of the highest standards for milk production in the world with zero tolerance for antibiotic residue in both organic and conventionally produced milk. Farmers continually monitor their cows’ health in order to ensure their well-being. Cows need to be healthy and content in order to produce optimal amounts of high quality milk. When cows are sick and require antibiotic treatment, the milk they produce is discarded for a regulated period of time to ensure the milk collected at the farm is free of antibiotic residue.
Antibiotic Testing
Every, and we mean every, truckload of milk is tested before being unloaded at the processing plant. Milk samples are taken at every farm. If the sample contains antibiotics (because let’s face it no one is 100% perfect all the time), then the entire load is discarded and the farmer who contaminated the load is heavily penalized.
So, what kind of growth hormones and antibiotics are in milk?
NONE. Canadian milk has no artificial growth hormones and antibiotics. It is also nutritious—and chock-full of vitamins and minerals.
Extensive quality checks and testing ensure that BC—and Canadian—consumers purchase high quality, safe and nutritious dairy products. For more details about milk production standards, check out the brochure “The Importance of Quality Milk”.

All In One Keto Breakfast
by Jo Foster @ Intelligent Labs
Sun Jan 21 05:27:44 PST 2018
This easy all-in-one meal is one of my favourites as it is a fresh take on a traditional cooked breakfast and also saves you time and effort in the kitchen. We’ve all been there - trying to cook a big brunch and having to keep your attention all over the kitchen with bacon under the grill, eggs in a pan, greens steaming and veggies cooking separately. Timings can easy slip and you end up with a mediocre breakfast after all that flapping. Well stress no more! This all-in-one method is the answer and you’ll never go back to the traditional way again.

Keto Coconut Banana Bread
by Amanda Hobbs @ Intelligent Labs
Fri Jan 26 20:46:21 PST 2018
Most desserts are off-limits in the keto diet, so it’s relieving to find some alternatives to the real deal! This banana bread is super moist, light and full of flavor without all the carbs. The cake is made with almond and coconut flour which gives the bread a delicious nuttiness. Before baking, the loaf is topped with unsweetened coconut flakes which toast nicely in the oven. It will be difficult to only have one slice!

Oven-Fried Keto Sriracha Buffalo Wings

Wed Dec 20 14:21:02 PST 2017
Did you know you can create the same crispiness in a chicken wing in the oven as in as fryer? These wings are super simple to make and only require a few ingredients. The secret ingredient? Baking powder. The wings are coated with baking powder and salt which breaks down the proteins in the skin helping them to brown.. The wings are then baked in a low temp oven to render the fat and then baked at a high temp to allow the skin to become ultra crispy. Last, but not least, the wings are tossed in a delicious buttery, sriracha sauce. They’re just the right amount of heat and a perfect fit to any keto diet. These are great for dinner paired with low carb veggies or as an appetizer for a weekend party.

Let’s Keep Talking
by @ [BCDairy] News or Article
Mon Jan 29 11:07:28 PST 2018
Tractors leaking oil, broken alley scrapers, and seized vacuum motors are easily diagnosed and will be fixed in due time—but what if it is the farmer that is feeling broken? Join us in the conversation around mental health in honour of Bell Let's Talk Day.
A farmer is not born, a farmer is built. As a jack of all trades, the farmer develops many skills: a fighter, a politician, a pastor, and a mechanic. They fight for their work, they dialogue with their neighbours, they pray for good harvests, and they tire to fix broken machinery.
Tractors leaking oil, broken alley scrapers, and seized vacuum motors are easily diagnosed and will be fixed in due time—but what if it is the farmer that is feeling broken?
The farm and mental health
In 2016, a study by the University of Guelph was conducted on more than 1100 agricultural producers across Canada. The results indicated that a staggering 35% of farmers met the definition for depression and nearly 60% felt high levels of anxiety. This is no wonder considering the array of possible pressures: changes in the weather, political upheaval, portrayal in the media, etc.
The stoic bravado of the farmer centres on the idea that one should be able to bear one’s own struggles. The philosophy of the occupation has long been “suck it up and move on”. The desire to achieve and the failure to reach goals could also lead to these depressive states. Success is often limited to factors beyond human control; so a farmer might overcorrect in order to repair, and in the end, find themselves burnt-out and depressed.
They might even hear the phrase, “You’re crying over spilled milk.”
Reaching out for help isn’t always a simple matter. This stigma can affect your brand: if you are not doing well, then it is assumed that your business is not doing well either. The survey also indicated that 40% of respondents felt uncomfortable getting professional help because of what “people might think”.
If you do not know or are unsure of the signs or symptoms of depression, it can manifest in many ways including trouble concentrating and remembering details, fatigue, irritability, loss of interest in activities, and insomnia, as well as physical aches and pains.
Community and well-being
A farmer’s heavy workload combined with a small community and isolated work can be factors contributing to depression and anxiety. When you are alone, the stress of the day can continuously brew and accumulate pressure. Alone in the barn, you are your own boss: you are accountable to you and only you. The loneliness can be hard.
In Australia, a study was completed by 417 respondents who suffered depression, two-thirds of whom identified that they sought care from their friends as a social or emotional support. They often cited that they felt more comfortable investing in these relationships because they felt compassion and empathy. As a farmer, you become accustomed to being alone, but interacting with your neighbours and friends is more compatible with mental wellness.
Resolve
When machinery is broken, it takes money, parts, and time to fix. When a cow is sick, it takes medicine, time, and care to restore its health. Similarly, when the heavy cloud of mental illness sets in to you or others, there is a need to invest.
If you are a farmer, you can look to those around you. If you think that you are the only one struggling, think again. A Farm Stress Hotline in Saskatchewan reported in 2011, a total of 330 calls made to the hotline, a number just shy of one call per day. Just last year, the hotline peaked at 59 calls for the month of July. As neighbours we are all in the same boat, no matter the industry. Shane Koyczan observes that “Silence left to its own devices breeds silence.”
Tommorow, January 31 is Bell “Let’s Talk Day”; if your friends and neighbours are not talking, start the conversation. The more open you are with your friends and neighbours, the more willing they will be to share with you.
There may also be time to talk, to be upset, or get some rest, because sometimes “spilled milk” is more than that: it’s your livelihood or your job, and why you wake up every day. It doesn’t matter what it is. You don’t need permission to be upset over spilled milk.

The flavor combination of these brownies is incredibly moreish with the tart raspberries and fudgy rich chocolate being perfectly complemented by the distinctive taste of pistachio. The outside of the brownie cracks as you take a bite and reveals a soft chocolate middle with crunchy pistachios and zings of raspberry. These healthy brownies are grain and dairy free and with under 3.5 net carbs a slice they are ideally suited to a ketogenic or paleo lifestyle! They are great with coffee as snack or make a delicious dessert lightly warmed in the oven served with a dollop of coconut cream. They are also great for dinner parties as they look beautiful but require minimal effort and expertise. Serve them in the centre of the table and everyone can get involved and grab a slice. The brownies will keep in an air tight container for 3 days… if they last that long!
