January 1, 2008 12:22 - Warning about CSI Fingerprint Examination Kits

We've been reading today about a toy that - although it hasn't officially been recalled - appears to be extremely hazardous and is being removed from stores at the request of Planet Toys, its maker.

The CSI Fingerprint Examination Kit has - horrifyingly - been found to contain asbestos. According to reports, this was discovered at the beginning of December, yet the product remained on sale in many areas.

The presence of lead in children's toys was bad enough - but this almost defies belief..

Of course, this isn't a product that you would have bought for your baby - but, if you have older children, this toy may be in your home. If so, then you should immediately remove it from the reach of your children - and we would suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask about safe disposal.

January 2, 2008 16:06 - Fruit Juice For Baby?

Do babies really NEED fruit juice?

You'd think so, wouldn't you, judging by the amount of 'infant juice' products in the baby food aisle at the supermarket? Yet whole fruit is, in general, far better for your baby, as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recently reaffirmed.

In its policy statement, The Use and Misuse of Fruit Juice in Pediatrics, the AAP points out that - whilst juice may offer some benefits to babies - it may also have many detrimental effects.

January 5, 2008 14:05 - Ten Ways To Peel Onions Without Crying

Does peeling and chopping onions brings tears to your eyes? It certainly does mine - so, having gone through a particularly nasty onion chopping session today that left me looking seriously distressed - I decided to look into common remedies for this kitchen conundrum!

Here's my list of the Top Ten Ways To Peel Onions Without Crying (I haven't tested them all yet!) - and if you'd like to add to the list, please click 'comments' below and leave your tip!

• Peel and cut the onion under running water (this leaves the onion a bit mushy, so only try this one if you're using the onion in a recipe where that won't matter!)
• Chew gum (not sure why this one is believed to work - any thoughts?)
• Put the onions in the freezer half an hour before you plan to cut them - this seems to work very well!
• Hold several unlit matches between your teeth. Apparently, the sulfur in the tips of the matches will neutralize the sulfur gas emitted by the onions
• Sit a pot of steaming water on the counter top, right next to where you'll be chopping the onions. Hopefully, the steam will prevent the sulfur gas from getting in your eyes
• Chop your onions near a burning flame from the stove top
• Use a very sharp knife - this is supposed to minimize the amount of sulfur gas released into the air
• Chop under your extractor fan - or, if you don't have one - aim a regular fan at your face
• Wear swimming goggles (but make sure you can see what you're doing!)
• Hold a thick slice of bread in your mouth - the theory is that it will absorb the fumes

If all else fails - chop the onions in a food processor... or ask hubby to do them for you!
