(6:00) Which leads to a favorite game: "Stripper vs. NFL" Anna found an article about lab-grown mozzarella. (27:00) It has been cleared without FDA approval. New Culture declared its own ingredient safe under a legal pathway called self-affirmed as generally recognized as safe, and never needed a decision from the agency. Getting rid of cattle is a bad idea since they are ruminants and they keep soil healthy. (36:00) Anna reads an article that states artificial sweeteners are linked to a much higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. (40:15) Xylitol, often used in gums, toothpaste, and more, may lead to an increase in cardiac risk. They discuss other sweeteners, their effects, and downsides. (43:00) Go back to the rules: stick to whole foods, or real foods, not ultra-processed foods. (50:00) Anna is making her own mustard, and will be posting her recipe soon. (51:30) Anna's next cookbook, Eat Happy Cocktail Hour, is filled with cocktails, mocktails, and appetizers and is available for pre-order right now. If you pre-order, you'll get bonus goodies!
