Question 1

are there new techniques used in assesing nutritional status, or vitamin analysis?

Yes: But they need to be developed. Red cell Transketolase activity evaluates for vitamin B1 but is available only at a rare laboratory. The trouble is that vitamin therapy has not yet gained the attention of the majority of physicians.

Question 2

can a ceoliac eat bacon !

Accepted Answer

With care: As long as your bacon has not been cross-contaminated with trace amounts of gluten, you should be fine.  Some bacon products use barley powder to create a smokey flavor, so you have to be sure to use a product that doesn't contain things like that!   helpful article here:  http://celiacdisease.About.Com/od/glutenfreemeats/a/gluten-free-bacon.Htm.

Question 9

what should i do my baby was fed bacon? she sucked on 2 pieces. she's 6 months old?

Accepted Answer

: Hello,

Moving beyond religious reasons many people observe regarding pork, the biggest emergency risk is airway compromise.  Infants this small have a risk of choking on a piece of food they cannot properly chew.  As long as she did not choke and you retrieved the pieces of bacon, she should be OK!

Question 10

if i cook 5 pounds of bacon a day .. at work. will that age my skin standing over the grill ?

Accepted Answer

We age every day: Grilling bacon for a whole year will age one's skin a whole year. Whether or not one's skin will look MORE than a year older in that time is anyone's guess. The toxins in vaporized food and smoke have a small effect compared to smoking tobacco or other substances. Hopefully, the grill's exhaust vent powerfully sucks the toxins away. For most people, sunshine damages skin more than grilling will.
