Continued exposure to gluten often wreaks havoc on the entire body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My friend Tara only discovered she had celiac in her mid-30s, after a lifetime of assorted complaints (skin problems, arthritis and digestive issues). After a few months on a trip in India, (with its rice-based diet), her symptoms inexplicably improved. But when she returned to California, they worsened. A clever doctor made the connection and the diagnosis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Twenty-five years ago, there weren’t many resources for those who have to eat gluten-free,” says Tara, “but thankfully now there is so much more awareness, gluten-free products even restaurants with gluten-free menus. “And \u003ca href=\"http://www.mariposabaking.com/\">Mariposa Bakery\u003c/a> in Oakland,” adds Tara smiling, thinking about their cupcakes. Tara has become an expert gluten-free baker herself so that she does not have to feel deprived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For both my friends Tara and Rachel, getting invited over to someone’s house for dinner necessitates preparation and backup plans. They let their hosts know their dietary restrictions and often offer to bring a dish to share. If they are going to a large event where it won’t be easy to know for sure what possible allergens are in the food, they may eat something at home first, or bring an emergency back-up snack, just in case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like my problem with peppers, some food sensitivities don’t fall neatly into the categories of intolerance or allergy.

An emerging body of research shows that kids may be able to kick a food allergy by regularly consuming — under doctor supervision — a small amount of the food every day for a set amount of time, at a dose that increases over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea behind \"oral immunotherapy\" is that you can teach an allergic child's immune system to ignore the food protein that pushes it into overdrive. It's the same principle that has dictated how people with environmental allergies have been treated for decades – they are given shots with small amounts of the allergen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preliminary experiments involving milk, peanuts and other allergenic foods \u003ca href=\"http://www.hopkinschildrens.org/drinking-milk-to-ease-milk-allergy.aspx\">have shown\u003c/a> this strategy works.

In \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-longevity-kitchen/\">The Longevity Kitchen\u003c/a>, Katz and her co-author Mat Edelson combine decades of practical cooking experience with up-to-date science on nutrition and disease prevention.

Where was the broccoli with its anti-cancer and hormone balancing effects; or turmeric, the potent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">anti-inflammatory\u003c/a>, anti-cancer Asian spice? So, I was pleased to find that the second chapter of the book contained a culinary pharmacy -- a list of over 80 foods that are used as ingredients throughout the book along with their various health benefits. Here I found turmeric, medicinal mushrooms, broccoli and many more. There are also notes included with many of the recipes that talk about the health benefits of specific ingredients. These notes go into greater detail and explain the benefits of important foods that aren’t included in the Super 16 or the Culinary Pharmacy like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">flax seeds\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\" alt=\"The Longevity Kitchen by Rebecca Katz and Mat Edelson\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-58215\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\u003cstrong>Here are the three major reasons why I found \"The Longevity Kitchen\" to be a valuable resource.\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The first is quality.\u003c/strong> The ingredients in the recipes are truly health promoting. Katz emphasizes fresh, organic, unrefined foods in each recipe.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The second reason is that the book is almost entirely gluten-free.\u003c/strong> There are a few recipes that contain gluten but most include easy substitutions for people with sensitivities. In fact, many of the recipes are also free of eggs, dairy, soy and sugar making \"The Longevity Kitchen\" a valuable resource for people with allergies and special diets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The third and most important reason is that the food actually tastes good.\u003c/strong> I have tested recipes from every section of the book, from \u003cem>Latin Kale\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Mango Lassi\u003c/em> and they have all been delicious. I have served these dishes to friends and even to my four-year-old twins. People love them. I got so many compliments on the \u003cem>Parsley Mint Drizzle\u003c/em> that it felt like cheating; its only six ingredients in the blender after all.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor I focus on optimal nutrition for each patient, and this often involves diet change. It is relatively easy for me to tell people what they should and shouldn’t eat. It is much harder to tell them how to prepare those foods. This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap and making healthy food accessible and flavorful. One caveat is that most of these recipes require some basic cooking skills to prepare. People who don’t already know how to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/skills-specific.php?skill=howto-videos\">chop, dice, mince or zest\u003c/a> may need to brush up before attempting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month I had the opportunity to interview \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RebeccaKatzYum\">Rebecca Katz\u003c/a> about her new book and her philosophy on food. Excerpts from our interview are transcribed below. The content has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your previous two books, \"One Bite at a Time\" and \"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\" were specifically targeted to cancer patients and their families and this book is targeted to the general public. I’m wondering why you made that shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> If I had one more person come up to me and say, “these books are great, but when are you going to write a book for the rest of us.” ...A lot of people are afraid of the word “cancer.” So even though the recipes in both of those books are yummy for everybody, number one -- people who have been through cancer and are on the other side don’t want to look at the word anymore. Number two -- there was a larger audience to reach. Many of the same rules apply when we are talking about eating for a cancer-fighting diet and eating for longevity. We are still dealing with the major chronic issues that we all face which are free radical damage, inflammation, and getting a lot of antioxidants. Nothing really changes. What changes is the way the story is told, but not the principles of eating. One of the challenges with this book, in dealing with the topic of longevity was how to grab people’s attention and make it relevant to their lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Absolutely, one of the things I experience in working with people with cancer is that I’ve become really passionate about prevention. You see all of the steps that led to the development of the disease and you want to help other people make changes earlier.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> There are very few things in our lives that we have control over. But one of the things we do have control over is what we put in our bodies and it can be a joyful experience. We are talking about longevity and our connection with food being one of joy. This is a book about all of the things that you can have, not simply a list about all of the things that you can’t have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was really interested in your list of 16 foods. I was a little surprised to see coffee, chocolate and green tea on the list. We know that all of those foods have a very strong profile of phytochemicals. But I wonder if you believe that people need some level of stimulation to be optimally healthy and happy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Honestly it was really hard to get it down to 16. Here was my criteria, number one was the antioxidant properties, number two was some of the latest research coming out on brain health which shows that a little stimulation can go a long way. But really every recipe and every ingredient in that book could be considered on that top sixteen. So I was really looking for a blend of nutrient dense, antioxidants, phytochemicals, the right amount of stimulation and I wanted people to look at that list and be able to recognize those foods. I also think there is a psychological component -- giving people permission to indulge in some of the foods that they resonate with. Food is such an emotional issue and if you take away everything, people really get upset. When I take something away, I always have to give something back. Just because you want to eat well and be healthy doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the sidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you become a cookbook author, specifically one focusing on cancer prevention and longevity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I had a motivation at the very beginning. My father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000. I took a leave of absence and went to take care of him and I didn’t know anything about cooking for people with cancer even though I was trained chef. There was nothing out there! There was nothing. So my father was my guinea pig. Food was the platform of his life, so it was not an option not to feed him well. Then I got a wonderful opportunity (to work) at \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonweal.org/programs/cancer-help.html\">Commonweal Cancer Health Program\u003c/a>. I really believe, truly, in that connection to food and to being a nourisher -- I felt like I had found my calling. \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/one-bite-at-a-time/\">One Bite at a Time\u003c/a> came out of my experience working with people individually and \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-cancer-fighting-kitchen/\">The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\u003c/a> came out because there was so much new science appearing. I was now at a different level, I had gotten my masters of science in nutrition, I was witness to this evolution. I look back and think, wow what a wonderful gift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I think that is the gift that everyone is looking for in a career, being able to find the thing that you are meant to do in the world and be paid for it.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Yes, I feel incredibly grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EVENT:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nApril 5, 7:15pm: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bookpassage.com/event/rebecca-katz-longevity-kitchen\">Rebecca Katz will be signing books at Book Passage in Corte Madera\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RECIPES:\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"cauliflower\">\u003c/a>Golden Roasted Cauliflower\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Roasting cauliflower completely transforms it into a candy-like delight that yields to a gentle fork.

In \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-longevity-kitchen/\">The Longevity Kitchen\u003c/a>, Katz and her co-author Mat Edelson combine decades of practical cooking experience with up-to-date science on nutrition and disease prevention.

Where was the broccoli with its anti-cancer and hormone balancing effects; or turmeric, the potent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">anti-inflammatory\u003c/a>, anti-cancer Asian spice? So, I was pleased to find that the second chapter of the book contained a culinary pharmacy -- a list of over 80 foods that are used as ingredients throughout the book along with their various health benefits. Here I found turmeric, medicinal mushrooms, broccoli and many more. There are also notes included with many of the recipes that talk about the health benefits of specific ingredients. These notes go into greater detail and explain the benefits of important foods that aren’t included in the Super 16 or the Culinary Pharmacy like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">flax seeds\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\" alt=\"The Longevity Kitchen by Rebecca Katz and Mat Edelson\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-58215\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\u003cstrong>Here are the three major reasons why I found \"The Longevity Kitchen\" to be a valuable resource.\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The first is quality.\u003c/strong> The ingredients in the recipes are truly health promoting. Katz emphasizes fresh, organic, unrefined foods in each recipe.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The second reason is that the book is almost entirely gluten-free.\u003c/strong> There are a few recipes that contain gluten but most include easy substitutions for people with sensitivities. In fact, many of the recipes are also free of eggs, dairy, soy and sugar making \"The Longevity Kitchen\" a valuable resource for people with allergies and special diets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The third and most important reason is that the food actually tastes good.\u003c/strong> I have tested recipes from every section of the book, from \u003cem>Latin Kale\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Mango Lassi\u003c/em> and they have all been delicious. I have served these dishes to friends and even to my four-year-old twins. People love them. I got so many compliments on the \u003cem>Parsley Mint Drizzle\u003c/em> that it felt like cheating; its only six ingredients in the blender after all.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor I focus on optimal nutrition for each patient, and this often involves diet change. It is relatively easy for me to tell people what they should and shouldn’t eat. It is much harder to tell them how to prepare those foods. This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap and making healthy food accessible and flavorful. One caveat is that most of these recipes require some basic cooking skills to prepare. People who don’t already know how to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/skills-specific.php?skill=howto-videos\">chop, dice, mince or zest\u003c/a> may need to brush up before attempting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month I had the opportunity to interview \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RebeccaKatzYum\">Rebecca Katz\u003c/a> about her new book and her philosophy on food. Excerpts from our interview are transcribed below. The content has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your previous two books, \"One Bite at a Time\" and \"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\" were specifically targeted to cancer patients and their families and this book is targeted to the general public. I’m wondering why you made that shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> If I had one more person come up to me and say, “these books are great, but when are you going to write a book for the rest of us.” ...A lot of people are afraid of the word “cancer.” So even though the recipes in both of those books are yummy for everybody, number one -- people who have been through cancer and are on the other side don’t want to look at the word anymore. Number two -- there was a larger audience to reach. Many of the same rules apply when we are talking about eating for a cancer-fighting diet and eating for longevity. We are still dealing with the major chronic issues that we all face which are free radical damage, inflammation, and getting a lot of antioxidants. Nothing really changes. What changes is the way the story is told, but not the principles of eating. One of the challenges with this book, in dealing with the topic of longevity was how to grab people’s attention and make it relevant to their lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Absolutely, one of the things I experience in working with people with cancer is that I’ve become really passionate about prevention. You see all of the steps that led to the development of the disease and you want to help other people make changes earlier.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> There are very few things in our lives that we have control over. But one of the things we do have control over is what we put in our bodies and it can be a joyful experience. We are talking about longevity and our connection with food being one of joy. This is a book about all of the things that you can have, not simply a list about all of the things that you can’t have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was really interested in your list of 16 foods. I was a little surprised to see coffee, chocolate and green tea on the list. We know that all of those foods have a very strong profile of phytochemicals. But I wonder if you believe that people need some level of stimulation to be optimally healthy and happy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Honestly it was really hard to get it down to 16. Here was my criteria, number one was the antioxidant properties, number two was some of the latest research coming out on brain health which shows that a little stimulation can go a long way. But really every recipe and every ingredient in that book could be considered on that top sixteen. So I was really looking for a blend of nutrient dense, antioxidants, phytochemicals, the right amount of stimulation and I wanted people to look at that list and be able to recognize those foods. I also think there is a psychological component -- giving people permission to indulge in some of the foods that they resonate with. Food is such an emotional issue and if you take away everything, people really get upset. When I take something away, I always have to give something back. Just because you want to eat well and be healthy doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the sidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you become a cookbook author, specifically one focusing on cancer prevention and longevity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I had a motivation at the very beginning. My father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000. I took a leave of absence and went to take care of him and I didn’t know anything about cooking for people with cancer even though I was trained chef. There was nothing out there! There was nothing. So my father was my guinea pig. Food was the platform of his life, so it was not an option not to feed him well. Then I got a wonderful opportunity (to work) at \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonweal.org/programs/cancer-help.html\">Commonweal Cancer Health Program\u003c/a>. I really believe, truly, in that connection to food and to being a nourisher -- I felt like I had found my calling. \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/one-bite-at-a-time/\">One Bite at a Time\u003c/a> came out of my experience working with people individually and \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-cancer-fighting-kitchen/\">The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\u003c/a> came out because there was so much new science appearing. I was now at a different level, I had gotten my masters of science in nutrition, I was witness to this evolution. I look back and think, wow what a wonderful gift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I think that is the gift that everyone is looking for in a career, being able to find the thing that you are meant to do in the world and be paid for it.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Yes, I feel incredibly grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EVENT:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nApril 5, 7:15pm: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bookpassage.com/event/rebecca-katz-longevity-kitchen\">Rebecca Katz will be signing books at Book Passage in Corte Madera\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RECIPES:\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"cauliflower\">\u003c/a>Golden Roasted Cauliflower\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Roasting cauliflower completely transforms it into a candy-like delight that yields to a gentle fork.

But people with potentially lethal allergies to nuts and other foods don't have much choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of smartphone apps offer to make that task easier. Doctors say, though, the apps now on the market just aren't reliable enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We here at The Salt got to thinking about food allergy apps when we ran across \u003ca href=\"http://www.ee.ucla.edu/people/faculty/faculty-directory/aydogan-ozcan\">Aydogan Ozcan\u003c/a>'s new smartphone-based food chemistry lab. The iTube uses a standard cellphone camera to analyze a food's chemical composition. A user need only pop a chunk of food into one of the two wee test tubes attached to the phone, wait 20 minutes, and — presto! — laboratory results, in parts per million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ozcan, a professor of electrical engineering and bioengineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializes in re-engineering cell phones into tools.
