Nugget Market here in Sacramento carries it, but they only sell it in the summer. Then Saturday came. My cell phone rang. I'd completely for

Why Whole Milk Is Making a Comeback, According to Dietitians

In the 1990s, Got Milk? ads became popular because of a marketing campaign created by the California Milk Processor Board, encouraging people to drink more cow's milk through celebrity-packed ads and commercials. The interest eventually dwindled, and soon after, plant-based milks started to gain popularity. Since the 2000s, every version of plant-based milks you can imagine, ranging from soy, oat, almond, pistachio, macadamia, pea -- you name it, probably exists in your supermarket aisle. Now it

“It’s shocking”: Massive raw milk outbreak from 2023 finally reported

On October 20, 2023, health officials in the County of San Diego, California, put out a press release warning of a Salmonella outbreak linked to raw (unpasteurized) milk. Such an outbreak is not particularly surprising; the reason the vast majority of milk is pasteurized (heated briefly to kill germs) is because milk can easily pick up nasty pathogens in the farmyard that can cause severe illnesses, particularly in children. It's the reason public health officials have long and strongly warned a

Best Breast Pumps (2025): Wearable, Portable, Easy to Clean

Honorable Mentions Elvie Pump for $550: The Elvie worked just fine, but it didn’t do anything cool enough to warrant such a high price tag. I saw the same results as I had with cheaper pumps, and it didn’t have as many cool features as the similarly priced Willow 3.0. The timer feature is nice, though, as are the fridge- and freezer-ready bottles attached to the wearable pump. Medela Pump In Style for $209: This famed pump has great strength and is easy to use, but it’s not portable. We are ex
