They may be good for the environment but reusable grocery bags can be a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria and could cause a serious risk to your health, according to a new report.

Researchers randomly tested bags carried by shoppers in Tucson, Los Angeles, and San Francisco and found bacteria levels significant enough to cause a wide range of serious health problems and even death. The study also found consumers were almost completely unaware of the need to regularly wash their bags.

“Our findings suggest a serious threat to public health, especially from coliform bacteria including E. coli, which were detected in half of the bags sampled,” says Charles Gerba, a University of Arizona professor and coauthor of the study. “Consumers are alarmingly unaware of these risks and the critical need to sanitize their bags on a weekly basis.”

Pin It Now! It's that time of year again! You probably won't guess what I'm talking about so I'll tell you....it's time to buy calendars again! For some reason I just love buying calendars. I could own two for each room in my house and be happy. Part of it is because I need them to keep track of life but I think the biggest part is my love of the pictures. : ) I love Kim Anderson's simple and sweet photos, any pictures of playful puppies or dewy country fields, and my favorite is paintings of rustic scenery. My husband couldn't believe how happy I was to receive a nice calendar from a charity organization last week but I was taken back by how nice it was. I've said all that to say I have found a free calendar I would like to share with you! This calendar is a 2010 Women's Health Calendar.

You can request your free calendar in either English or Spanish. This attractive calendar will share important health facts and tips for women as the year goes along. Enjoy!
