Stoneyfield Farms Reward Program

If you ever buy Stoneyfield Farms products, consider signing up for their free online reward program by clicking here. To start earning reward points, just find the reward code on the package of designated Stoneyfield products, and enter them into your online account. For as little as 25 points you can start redeeming your rewards, which include a wide-range of products such as Stoneyfield Farms, Seventh Generation, and Annie's.

I've been waiting for this program to kick in for weeks and I finally found my first rewards number today on a 32 ounce quart of yogurt! I earned one point for signing up and four points for the yogurt.

According the the website, they currently have codes on the 32 ounce quarts, on 6oz Fat Free, Low Fat and Whole Milk cups, on O'Soy 6 ounce cups and on YoBaby Meals, Drinks and Multipacks.

The program is running through March 31, 2010.

Fish Oil Supplements: Risks & Benefits

Click here for an article on the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) website about the risks and benefits of taking fish oil supplements. According to the site, fish oil contains the beneficial longer chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) of fish oil that other plant sources (such as flaxseed oil) do not.

However, the EDF warns that fish oil supplements could potentially contain environmental contaminants such as mercury and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). After conducting a survey of fish oil supplement manufactures, the EDF concluded that most supplements appear to be adequately purified and safe.

Click here to see how the different companies measured up. I'm happy to report that Nature's Bounty Fish Oil (which is BOGO at Walgreens and CVS this week) is marked as a "Best Choice".

If you prefer to actually eat a fish rather than take a supplement, here is a link to The Super Green List of seafood that is good for human health as well as the health of the environment (published by the Monterey Bay Aquarium). Thanks to my very eco-friendly friend for this link.
